Obama / Lincoln
I found this interesting in that for the most part of his political career, Lincoln was a nobody, incapable of winning the hearts of almost anyone, yet became president. Similarly, Obama was a nobody, with no chance of winning over people against Hillary Clinton, yet in the end he too became president .
I cant help but think that the similarities in the country today and then were the deciding factors in that both times war was seriously dividing the country, quite literally in :Lincolns time. I dont know much else about the counties condition in Lincolns time but i do know the countries condition this time, and cant help but think this country elected THE MOST OPPOSITE figure they could find. Doesnt say much for his predecessor, does it
