Quote from IShopAtPublix:
If you ask me, I would not take Lincoln's cabinet ideas ("team of rivals") as a model.
Lincoln could have easily lost the Cvil War with generals like Burnside, McLellan and Hooker. If not for the North's overwhelming advantage in manufacturing, general economy, and population Lincoln would fail miserably.
In a way, when he finally got things right, he was shot.
N.B Out of all the people Obama is compared to (FDR, JFK, MLK, RFK, Lincoln, Malcolm X...) not one had a happy retirement or retirement at all. It is kind of disturbing.
Lincoln could never have lost the Civil War ..........
