He did OK. But, Rick, Abraham Lincoln initiated the Civil War...and as any school child can tell you, over 600,000 Americans died in the Civil War. Certainly, you are not advocating that war is good, are you? 'Cause if you are, you're at odds with 90% of the Obama supporters on this forum who have made it clear time and time and time again that war under ANY circumstances is unacceptable; that killing under any circumstances is unacceptable. "Killing is a sin" -- Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Without getting into the specifics of Lincoln's presidency, he is generally regarded as having been one of our greatest presidents, if not the greatest. Yet he had a pretty limited political career before taking office. Personal qualifications are more important than experience. There are plenty of bozos who've been in government for decades. It seems that if the times are critical and president possesses the right blend of intelligence, temperament, and other such qualities, he achieves greatness. I think we're about to see that happen.
