From the Paper:

"Abraham Lincoln and George Bush. Both fascinating men. One who lived in interesting times and one who is now experiencing interesting times. Without a doubt, they both understand the meaning of the old Chinese proverb/curse, "May you live in interesting times."

"Being President of the United States has held the same challenge for generations, whether as a President who is trying to abolish slavery and reunite the country or a President who is faced with rebuilding the country after 911. Both men, who came from very different backgrounds, have the fate of a nation in their hands."
