The article linked, at NYTimes, is from 2008. I think the only reason this article and the subject of Lincoln considering blacks as inferior to whites is being brought out now--3.5 years later--is because of Obama being President now.

I think it's an attempt at getting us to draw some conclusion about how Lincoln would have viewed Obama as President.

I also think it's an attempt to further paint Republicans as "racists", to give this DUD of a president (Obama) somebody ELSE to blame for dividing this nation instead of uniting it as Lincoln "consistently" did.
