Lincoln Discussion Symposium

Gene,

My mother was born at home in 1914 and never had a birth certificate issued in her name.

I was the only child of 4 born at home and it wasn't on purpose. Mom got pains, went to the bathroom and I showed up a short while later under the pedestal sink.

Joe,

With that kind of an entrance into this world, maybe you should have been a plumber?

Score another one for the Southern She Devil Rebel

(you can tell she must have been, and still is, a great teacher)

Thanks, Gene.

Based on what I've had to pay for work around my house, I think Joe would have earned a lot more money as a plumber than protecting people's lives as the state trooper that he was for twenty-five years.

Even though I never directly benefited from his service, we are greatful Joe chose the path he did.

If Obama is Lincoln reincarnated (), then I must be Elvis reincarnated!
Now where's my blue suede shoes......

Hess 1865,I love your comment!

I'm keeping my comparisons between President Lincoln and President Obama to myself.
This following is from the book "Lincoln on Leadership", (I've only read the first three chapters) and the first three chapter headings are...
1. Get out of the Office and Circulate Among the Troops
2. Build Strong Alliances
3. Persuade Rather Than Coerce

Their situations are entirely different, but some comparisons can be made......
It's an interesting question, one that can be devisive......let's try to keep the focus on President Lincoln.
