”One good way to destroy an enemy is to turn him into a joke.” I read this quote in a fantastic new book ”Lincoln and Obama” by Gene Griessman. Griessman does a lot to compare the two Presidents, but where I see it most is the wit they both display when confronting their opponent. Obama has clearly provided a plethora of zingers aimed at the GOP candidate, and I think it is highly effective. Lincoln did the same thing with Stephen Douglas over 150 years ago.

However, as a grad student in public health, Romney’s future plans for womens health may be a joke, but its a bad one.
I strongly encourage people to check out Lincoln and Obama. It is a quick read and highly relevant to our current political situation.
