Just in case you missed one of my previous posts, a few days ago.

Here it is again. I made, as I'm sure Spielberg is doing in this film, a comparison between Lincoln and his times, and Obama and his.

I’m struck by the parallels between him and his role model, Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln also was presiding over a bitterly divided country undergoing a terrible crisis, facing a determined, ruthless opposition that publicly insulted and ridiculed him, doing everything they could to humiliate and obstruct his policies. He also succeeded in re-election to a second term because of a majority of the American people’s faith in him.
