Spielberg?s ?Lincoln,? Obama, And The 2012 Presidential Election: ?Everybody Claims Lincoln As Their Own?

It's easy to draw parallels to President Obama in Steven Spielberg?s historical Oscar hopeful Lincoln, a portrait of the 16th American President who stood tall, orated well, united a divided nation across color and party lines, and was re-elected to office for a second term. But Spielberg insists he had no specific political agenda in mind when the long-gestating Lincoln came to fruition.

No, we were ready to make it during the Bush administration. It had…
