Lincoln was a member and president of the Illinois Colonization Society and segregationist and wanted to remove Blacks from the WHITE U.S. in any way economically possible; Had Abe not been assassinated by John W Boothe he would have assigned them to desert Reservations like the Indians.

I seriously doubt Obama is in any way like Lincoln.

Are you serious? “Applause and laughter” was in parentheses and there was a semicolon there to punctuate. The same was done with the phrase “renewed applause” with a period within the parentheses to punctuate. The semicolon and parentheses it sits next to was NOT, I repeat, NOT a wink. If it were then he would have placed a parentheses before the phrase “applause and laughter” and not after, which would not have been correct.
You have got to be kidding me.
