"Give him a chance" is not something I would say in this context. In fact, it would be taking a chance, not giving a chance. Abraham Lincoln's resume was a lot deeper with respect to practicing law longer, being an elected official longer, being a great debater, and standing for something extreme in a time when it could get you killed. Being anti-slavery in Lincoln's day is far and away more important than being anti-Iraq war. I'm surprised that people would denigrate Lincoln by comparing Obama to him in that way. Obama isn't that great a debater, he hasn't had serious difficulties in his life experience, and he did not practice law very long at all. He has spent longer as a politician than a lawyer, and it shows.
