Lincoln -Good President?

[August1991]

I think that Lincoln was a terrible president.

Lincoln - like Biden & Putin - are terrible leaders.

Soldiers die.

====

Oprah Winfrey paid for Obama. And she apparently said, "Don't screw this up."

Under Obama, we got along.

I guess it depends on how you measure how 'good' a president is. For sure he managed to drastically expand federal power.

Lincoln made the US live closer to its stated ideals, and that is a good thing.

Disagree.

Lincoln abused federal power.

Our PM Trudeau with his Charter of Rights brought Canada closer to the US Constition.

"Abuse" of Federal power was necessary to set the slaves free cause the Confederate states were never going to do it, and that is a good thing.

Our federal PMs avoided civil war - Laurier, Trudeau Snr kept our confederation together peacefully.

Your Lincoln provoked a civil war - killing millions.

Confederates STARTED that war by attacking Union territory. All because they were AFRAID of losing their slaves. 🤮

Whatever. Comme tu dis.

I reckon that Obama was a good leader. Like Trump.

They both largely kept America out of foreign wars.

Good presidents? For America - or the world?

Truman was a good president for the world. At Potsdam, "I have an Ace. And a trump card."

Kennedy and Nixon were too.

Reagan was a good president for you Americans - like Clinton.
