The Richmond Redeemer

This is a true story that I found while doing some independent research on President Abraham Lincoln today. I think it should be spread around to everyone:

The Richmond Redeemer
The first positive proof that the Civil War had ended was a wire from Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, saying that the Confederate officials and army had abandoned the city.

While Stanton, Lincoln's Secretary of War, was away visiting troops, Lincoln ignored Stanton's recommendations and decided to visit Richmond. When his steamship landed at the Richmond harbor, he made his way to the town, only to find he was mobbed by former slaves who recognized him and fell on their knees before him, exclaiming their thanks over their deliverance.

Besides "Mr. President", some of the other phrases of address were "Savior" and "Redeemer".
Lincoln answered their cries with an order: "Don't kneel to me- it isn't right!" "You must kneel to God only," he continued, "and thank him for the liberty you now enjoy. I am but God's humble instrument but you may rest assured, that as long as I live, you shall have all the rights which God has given to every other free citizen of the Republic."

I submit to every person who reads this to consider that many of Barack Obama's followers have referred to him as the "Messiah", yet he has not even done anything but be a candidate for President as yet. Lincoln was arguably our greatest President who saved our nation from being torn apart. The greatest accomplishment of any President in our history, and he refused the titles which Obama has yet to publicly refute. It is the height of arrogance for any person to assume greater honors and accomplishment than our greatest leader, Lincoln, when he has yet to do anything at all for his country.

It is simply a disgrace and a blasphemy before God that he has not refuted these acclamations.
