Leftist Illinois politician compares Obama to Lincoln

There is so much wrong with this article in the State Journal-Register that I don't know where to begin. Former Illinois Democratic congressmen and federal judge Abner Mikva gave a speech where he favorably compared Barack Obama to Abraham Lincoln.

"Illinois has sent two great people to the presidency, and we're grateful for having them there," Mikva said.

The lib was not talking about Tampico-born Ronald Reagan.

Here is one glaring difference: Abraham Lincoln loved America. Obama does not.
