Comparing Bush and Lincoln

Tweet

After listening to Bush's speech tonight and hearing comparisons between him and Lincoln I wanted to come up with a few comparisons between our 16th and 43rd presidents. 1: They are both Republicans 2: They were both elected President (though Lincoln was re-elected as well) 3: Both started Civil Wars 4: Lincoln was shot in Ford Theatre, Bush did shots in a Ford and a Lincoln. 5: Lincoln is on the Penny. Bush's policies are worth a penny 6: Both had a propensity for firing Generals and Cabinet members. 7: Both will go down in history for their speech making skills. I'm sure I will come across more in time but will stop at 7 for now.
