After reading all the Copperhead links

Lincoln was under much more pressure than Bush. Man, it had to be tough getting up every day knowing thousands of troops died every day during the war while at the same time fending off political detractors.

Sometimes you have to make tough choices/decisions. If Lincoln had caved in to pressure, just imagine what our country might be like today.

I often wonder what FDR; Truman and JFK would think of today's generation of the Demo party? Even though they were Demos, they had to make tough, unpopular decisions just like Lincoln. I don't think they would be pleased.
