On Thursday it will be the 200 birthday of one of our greatest Presidents. Abraham Lincoln and its the thought that this President handled our worst crisis ever and brought this country back together. I only wonder what would he do today to solve our current crisis? This economy keeps heading south and it doesn't look to be getting better anytime soon. In a time where we need our elected officials to do whats best for the American Public, it leaves me with the feeling that the corruption that we as a nation let stand for the last 8 years will only cause more of a wound.
As a person who loves American history I cherish this moment but at the same worry about the state of our country and where it is headed. We have a President who is trying to find the right path but we have such bi-partisanship that we may never fix this. Because in my opinion the republicans want their cut just like the last 8 years. And all this bickering is really doing is letting the public forget that we wasted mass amounts of money in Iraq. (Trust me I spent nearly 500 days there.)
So I hope that eventually we will be back to a steady economy. But for today its thinking of the past and of a harder time with a President who brought this country out of dismay and darkness.
Happy 200 Birthday President Lincoln
