Political Satire

Sent in email, love the painting and sentiment.  If we allow our country to fail, 
we will all suffer just what we deserve.  I try to avoid political commentary, 
as I strongly believe in each person's right to their own opinion, however, I also
believe in keeping a sense of humor no matter the circumstances.


So I said to him, "Barack, I know Abe Lincoln,
and you ain't Abe Lincoln ." 

“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. 
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. 
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. 
You cannot lift the wage earner up by 

pulling the wage payer down. 
You cannot further the brotherhood of man 

by inciting class hatred. 
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. 
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.”

.. Abraham Lincoln
