We Were Hoping for Somebody Else?

I find it amusing that President Obama's fanboys (and gals) have tried to compare him to Lincoln, FDR, and now Ike.

Which is kind of odd, since I thought his fans consider him The One who sets the standards rather than is a mere reincarnation of some lesser mortal.

But mostly, I think these efforts have been attempts to preempt comparisons to Jimmy Carter, which as Instapundit often notes, is probably our low-odds best case scenario now.
