Newsweek Sees Obama as the New Lincoln

This is just disgusting. From Newsweek.

It is the season to compare Barack Obama to Abraham Lincoln. Two thin men from rude beginnings, relatively new to Washington but wise to the world, bring the nation together to face a crisis. Both are superb rhetoricians, both geniuses at stagecraft and timing. Obama, like Lincoln and unlike most modern politicians, even writes his own speeches, or at least drafts the really important ones—by hand, on yellow legal paper—such as his remarkably honest speech on race during the Reverend Wright imbroglio last spring.

That, my friends, is what I am hereafter referring to as Journalist fellatio. Yeah. It means exactly what you think it means.

Funny. I see Obama as the new Urkel.
