President Obama has a new complaint: “Lincoln -- they used to talk about him almost as bad as they talk about me.” I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming that was a deliberate, sardonic understatement, but I think this is interesting for historical perspective. Partisan acrimony is high, but, no, we're not at the level of the civil war era or even the era immediately before.
