It's what you would expect from a lefty. After all, Lincoln was a Republican.
If Obama knew anything about history, he would realize that Democrats are the ones who kept his relatives in slavery. And it was Republicans that freed his relatives from Democrat slave masters.

err... Mr. Obama is half African (as in, not Black American). Presumably he isn't a 'relative' of American slaves.

Here's Mr. Obama's Time magazine article: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1077287,00.html.
