There are 3 or 4 questions here it would be GREAT if you could answer each one and give any other info pertaining.....
wasnt Lincoln one of the first to expand presidential power and the power of the federal government. Among other things, he suspended civil liberties?
and ya know I am not saying I dont like Lincoln I am just trying to be sure I undestand the link between Obama and Lincoln He has parralled himself to Lincoln so I have been reading TONS on the guy lately - Diaries written by him, Historian notes, Inagural adresses etc... anything Lincoln really As My president So Identifies with him and since I am said to be repulsive is I try understanding dude by his current company and most recent friends and Idols and heros I figure Lincoln is for him his foundation so it is logical to study the guy again, As It has been since College I have read anything on him.
So...... How much or how closely can we pair the two? Will we have to wait till after 4 years to really see?
“Lincoln was willing to go in a direction that suggests that the government could go and get involved in the economy,”
though in Lincoln’s case, government involvement “wasn’t for national investment, it was for national preservation.”
Lincoln was an economic nationalist, there is absolutely no evidence that he believed that government was responsible for sparking technological innovation – or that it should run the economy.
final question
Lincoln is one of the presidents that people look back to, to say, ‘We can expand the federal government because of the things that Lincoln did.?
