The plot thickens and the story tellers work their magic.
Obama Transition Team Taking Questions FOXNews - 15 hours ago Only by searching key words such as "Blagojevich" can one find those questions. "Is Barack Obama aware of any communications in the last six weeks between ... Open for (Some) Questions New York Daily News Obama Is Not Open For Questions About Blagojevich AOL News Newsbloggers Obama Site Censors Blago Talk Gawker The machine of intervention and glory will soon have these headlines reading them same. The controversy continues ... From questionable citizenship, to the not to be questioned because it's under the $200 donation limit buying of an election with foreign money, to the potential involvement in a pay to play run at a senate seat, to the multiple associations, relationships, and guidance provided by felon's and other questionable influences ... The machine now sweeps another story into oblivion. Is there anything this man has done that has no controversy attached to it ??

Obama admires Abraham Lincoln.
What did Abe Lincoln say about fooling People? Abe Lincoln Quotes: My favorites in Bold. BOLD Red are Important. I couldn't post em all. Too many. Link:Abraham Lincoln Quotes A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them? America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties. Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth. How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg. I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts. I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends. If once you forfeit the confidence of your fellow-citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. If you call a tail a leg, how many legs has a dog? Five? No, calling a tail a leg don't make it a leg. Marriage is neither heaven nor hell, it is simply purgatory. No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar. No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent. Public opinion in this country is everything. Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed. Republicans are for both the man and the dollar, but in case of conflict the man before the dollar. Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right. Some day I shall be President. The ballot is stronger than the bullet. The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend. The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly. The people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions. The people will save their government, if the government itself will allow them. The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next. The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just. The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty. The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read. The time comes upon every public man when it is best for him to keep his lips closed. There is nothing true anywhere, The true is nowhere to be seen; If you say you see the true, This seeing is not the true one. These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert, to fleece the people. These men ask for just the same thing, fairness, and fairness only. This, so far as in my power, they, and all others, shall have. Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle. This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it. Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. To give victory to the right, not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary. To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men. To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards out of men. Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored. We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it. We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself. Whatever you are, be a good one. When I am getting ready to reason with a man, I spend one-third of my time thinking about myself and what I am going to say and two-thirds about him and what he is going to say. When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion. When I hear a man preach, I like to see him act as if he were fighting bees. When you have got an elephant by the hind legs and he is trying to run away, it's best to let him run. Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally. With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed. With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die. You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence. You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was. Abraham Lincoln
