I just finished presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin's book on Lincoln's presidency "Team of Rivals". Her book left me in awe of President Lincoln and his cabinet. The assassin Booth said he wanted to kill" the n----- lover". The former confederates who knew how fair Lincoln was during the surrender and the future reconstruction he had planned cried when they found out he had been killed. They knew no one would be fairer or less vindictive because he didn't have a vindictive bone in his body. The old saying about things are not aways what they appear to be is certainly true. John Wilkes Booth had been a Confederate but his more famous brother who was a Shakesperan actor was with the Union. The murderer thought he was doing the right thing by killing Lincoln, how sad. George W Bush is so small in mind and body compared to Abraham Lincoln. Bush's legacy will be how he ignored warnings about Bin Laden attacking inside the United States and we were attacked in NYC and in Washington ,DC, he went to war in Afghanstan to try to get Bin Laden but left before it was finished to go to and start an unprovoked war in Iraq and he made a mess of it and he took more vacation time than any other president and loved to exercise his body but not his mind. How high the bar was set with Lincoln and low the bar was set with Bush. Thanks for the history lesson.
