The father of the republican party, Ab Lincoln. He put the constitution aside and used the declaration of independence to argue that blacks should be free "All men are created equally" "Right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness" etc. Then he fought a war to free the slaves.

Then after the civil war blacks were freed and given 40 acres and a mule as reparations for slavery but after Lincoln was assassinated President Andrew Johnson a democrat reversed the order and returned the lands to their white owners.
Abraham Lincoln was a great man but I think Obama has already disqualified himself from being anything like Lincoln. FDR now thats a different story

"Anyone who has traveled to the Far East knows that the mingling of Asiatic blood with European or American blood produces, in nine cases out of ten, the most unfortunate results. . . . The argument works both ways. I know a great many cultivated, highly educated and delightful Japanese. They have all told me that they would feel the same repugnance and objection to have thousands of Americans settle in Japan and intermarry with the Japanese as I would feel in having large numbers of Japanese coming over here and intermarry with the American population. In this question, then, of Japanese exclusion from the United States it is necessary only to advance the true reason--the undesirability of mixing the blood of the two peoples. . . . The Japanese people and the American people are both opposed to intermarriage of the two races--there can be no quarrel there."

--Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1925
President, 1933-45

Yea ok I can see the connection between FDR and BHO.
