Lincoln was a fascinating individual in a variety of ways, but the ones that might most be useful now are his ability to read the pulse of the nation, and his ability to manage people. He quotes him, claims to (and I have no reason to doubt it) repeatedly read the man's writings, has a cabinet that is often compared both fairly and unfairly to Lincoln's, and now chooses his Bible. But this one I find interesting only for the extreme effort Obama seems to be making to emulate Lincoln. Generally I find details like this either fascinating or overly stupid, given the press' penchant for extreme overanalysis. Obama had decided to use the same Bible that Lincoln used for his swearing in ceremony back in 1861. Cog forum fallen hero retribution update#I'll update this thread as we move through the different phases of his presidency, though no doubt it'll be impossible to keep all political discussions contained to one thread, I loved the dialogue we all kept going as a community during the election process, and I think many of us would like to keep that same spirit alive in a continuing thread. So I wish to reserve this thread not for discussion of cabinet appointments or Bush pardons and appointments, though those are good points for discussion, but for the day many here and everywhere have been waiting for, some with dread and some with excitement, when Obama officially takes the oath and gets sworn in. There's a State of the Union coming up, some massive pieces of legislation that will soon be passed, and Obama's first 100 days, which might be more transformative or at least impactful than any since FDR. But I thought with Inauguration Day less than a month away, we should start to transition away from the transition and into the actual presidency. I'm hoping this doesn't undercut Noemon's thread, and if he feels it does I'll withdraw it.
