Abraham Lincoln and his Team of Rivals
I noticed that Abraham Lincoln is Obama's real hero.
I noticed recently he intend's to put all of his enemies in the cabinet like Lincoln.
Not out of any need for teamwork, but to keep an eye on his enemies.
Or so, Gore Vidal, wrote in his fantastic novel Lincoln.
That's a good book on Lincoln's administration.
Obama intend's to make himself absolute dictator by never letting on he is anything other than a timid backwoods lawyer given to fits of humility in front of all the strutting military and political peacocks.
For 3 years, a thousand voices had called for a dictator, a despot, a Cromwell never realizing from the beginning that there was a Lord Protector of the Union in the White House by whose will alone the war had been prosecuted.
Yes, he intends to put together a combination cabinet.
He intend's to play dumb all the way to the White House, through his administration, and to the end.
To be remembered in history as the greatest President since Lincoln.
