Yesterday when I was working on www.FunnyPhotosContest.com for cute or funny photos and photo captions, I heard on the radio that President-elect Obama and Vice President-elect Biden are traveling by train to Washington on the same route President Abraham Lincoln took. The announcement reminded me of the other similarities between Obama and Lincoln. Lincoln freed the African-Americans making it possible for Obama to become America’s first African-American President. In addition, they share an Illinois residency, careers as attorneys, and when Obama is sworn in, he will place his hand on the same Bible that Lincoln did. But there is another similarity, we can hope they won’t share – assassination.
Hopefully, Obama’s plans to revitalize our economy by creating new jobs to put millions of Americans back to work will create hope, please the unemployed, improve the stock market, and diffuse any discontent.
