More media hero worship…
Today on Meet the Press NBC crank David Gregory compared hyper-partisan Barack Obama to Republican Abraham Lincoln.
Unbelievable.
The Weekly Standard reported:
NBC host David Gregory asked President Barack Obama this morning, “Is this your Lincoln moment?”
The question came up after Obama invoked the movie Lincoln when talking about Republicans and Democrats coming together to work out a deal on the “fiscal cliff.“Well, no,” Obama said in response to Gregory’s question. “Look, a) I never compare myself to Lincoln. And b) obviously the magnitude of the issues is quite different from the Civil War and slavery. The point, though, is democracy has always been messy. We’re a big diverse country that is constantly sort of arguing about all kinds of stuff. But eventually, we do the right thing.”
