Lincoln versus Bush

And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."
Abraham Lincoln, September 18, 1858
It may be statements like this that keep Obama from "swallowing whole" the idea of Lincoln as Great Emancipator.
