The quoted service compares Obama to Abraham Lincoln.  Such a comparison in fact is very negative to Obama; he’s not in Lincoln’s class at all, either intellectually or in terms of achievement.  Read Lincoln’s second inaugural address and consider his intentions to heal the nation’s wounds with malice towards none after the war’s end.  Obama is the most deliberately divisive President in my memory.
