The Reunion

I don’t know who the artist is, but it DOES get the point across…

So I’d say to him, “Barack, I know Abe Lincoln,
And you ain’t Abe Lincoln ..”

President Obama has made numerous attempts to quote Lincoln ,

SO WHY DOESN’T HE USE THIS FAMOUS LINCOLN QUOTE:

“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the s
trong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

… Abraham Lincoln

Thanks to reader St.Jean for pointing out these were not actually said by Lincoln, but by Reverend William John Henry Boetcker (1873-1962). Link HERE, look at item #6.

Lots of good points here, in my opinion…

  1. There is no reason for Barry to open his mouth if it doesn’t serve him. There is no reason to make any effort that doesn’t strengthen his following. There is no reason BO will expend energy if it isn’t for his gain.

  2. Like all politicians and faux-politicians like Obie, pick and choose, pick and choose. Only say what benefits you and your agenda. Leave facts and truths out of it.

  3. I’ve had this same picture posted in my place for four years.

  4. It’s a shame the painter left out Coolidge. Probably no president cared about small government and government living within its means as Coolidge did.

  5. Grand- Good point!

    CP/WSF- True!

    Stjean- I was not aware of that, thank you for the update.

    Stephen- First time I’ve seen it!

    Bob- Yes it is…

  6. Nice Picture, except it seems to be missing George Washington.
