Abraham Lincoln and Tim Russert

Two people of equal stature cut from an equal cloth....one saved our Country from splintering in two and issued the "Emancipation Proclamation"    Many Historians regard him as the greatest President in History, and one of the most significant and important people in recorded History.  

And another was really good at interviewing political figures and reporting political events.

Two People, folks, two equals, men of similar ilk.
