I don't know if this helps but this is about Abraham Linconln and John F. Kennedy.\n\nØ Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. \nØ John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. \n\nØ Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. \nØ John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. \nØ Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. \n\nØ Both wives lost a child while living in the White House. \n\nØ Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. \n\nØ Both Presidents were shot in the head. \n\nNow it gets really weird. \n\nØ Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy. \nØ Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln. \n\nØ Both were assassinated by Southerners. \n\nØ Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson. \n\nØ Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808. \nØ Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908. \n\nØ John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839. \nØ Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939. \n\nØ Both assassins were known by their three names. \n\nØ Both names are composed of fifteen letters. \n\nNow hang on to your seat. \n\nØ Lincoln was shot at the theater named "Ford." \nØ Kennedy was shot in a car called "Lincoln" made by "Ford." \n\nØ Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials. \n\nAnd here's the "kicker" \n\nØ A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland (U.S) \nØ A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe. \n\nØ And Lincoln was shot in a theatre and the assassin ran to a warehouse. \nØ Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and the assassin ran to the theatre.

Lincoln,\n\nhe was from an age of true MEN w/ both ethics and morals being in office.\n\nHe was better educated, both socially, as well as academically...and he had WORK ETHIC!! He failed a LOT before being finally voted into office.\n\nClinton, I have no problems with. While ethically he could have been better (marriage/affair problems and such)....he was a great president both economically and in terms of foreign relations.\n\nBush, has caused nothing but dissention and discord since his inauguration.....

I don't know- I've never heard of Ibrahim Lincoln.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn a totally unrelated note- John Wilkes Booth killed Abraham Lincoln- but that really has nothing to do with your question- which is clearly about a man named Ibrahim Lincoln.

Washington was more photogenic than Lincoln (who I'd say was definitely more distinct, though).\n\nLincoln would not have played well on camera. People wanted to kick him out of office in his first few years, and for awhile it wasn't sure if he'd even be reelected. It took some years before his greatness was truly recognized, because while he was kind and likeable, he did not cater to people and demographics.\n\nIn many ways (well, all, maybe), he was the opposite of our current president. Lincoln surrounded himself with his political enemies so that he could hear alternate points of view; he wanted to be involved in what was going on in the field; he was extremely strategic in his thinking and planned far in advance; he was often torn over how to proceed and would have liked to avoid war if at all possible (and it took awhile for him to take a strong stance on slavery); he was an actual uniter, rather than divider; he was interested in issues; he was extremely honest; he was quite intelligent; he was a superb orator and debater and writer.\n\nIf George W. Bush is truly reflective of the will of today's US people, then Lincoln should surely fare poorly in an election if one were held today. If Lincoln were actually president, hmmm... it could go either way. He most certainly would have planned better as well as respected and cared more about other people and countries. \n\nI'm quite sure he'd get a kick out of the Internet and would be very tech-savvy. He'd probably be one of our more technological/geek presidents. He'd appeal more to the Gen X and younger.\n\nWashington would do a little better -- he's Al Gore, but with charisma and less hubris. He was considered noble and honorable, he was tall for his time, he was considerate, he was good at logistics, he was brave and knew he had to be in front of his people during the war, he understood how to be a symbol of the people, someone they could look up to as a leader. (i.e., he had to convey leadership, even if he was not great at some things). \n\nAgain, I'd point towards a more personable version of Al Gore of George Bush, Sr. -- he'd definitely garner more respect, but they're similar temperaments. People would probably nod and accept his tenure.

Hey, Barbra_Eden... What political party did Abraham Lincoln belong to?  I'm still following all the crap you post on here and I still thinks it's all idiotic.\n\nI am a cyber-stalker, it's true...

All the Bushes and Clintons....everyone needs to study up a little bit.\n\nFavorite:  Abraham Lincoln.  His writings alone qualify him for this post, regardless of his accomplishments.\n\nLeast Favorite:  Franklin Pierce.   This kid was a mess.  The Kansas-Nebraska Act led to the civil war and unrest in the west.  Drank himself to death and once ran over an elderly woman when driving his carraige drunk.  What a tool.
