Lincoln vs. Obama: Freedom vs. The Good February 12, 2009

Hosted by: The Heritage Foundation

Speaker: Shelby Steele

On this 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, America's first black President resides in the White House. Moreover, Barack Obama is a Lincolnian who famously looks to the Great Emancipator's presidency for guidance in his own. Is Lincoln a spiritual "father" to Obama or is there a profound incompatibility between the two?
