Listening to Obama's victory speech and he makes good mention of Lincoln.

I remember Bill Clinton's first inaugural speech. Lincoln was also quoted and refered to.

Question:

Why do Democrat presidents seem so fond of the founder of the Republican party?

I even remember Bob Dole debating Bill Clinton prior to C's second election when Dole seemed almost out of desperation to say 'hey ... I represent the party of Lincoln.'

That aside, Obama does seem a bit more humble so far than what I can remember from Clinton's first election ... only Hillary seems to be lashing out with partisan fireballs. It's not going to help when Republicans still have some fillibuster power. Obama does seem smarter.
