Now the perceived threat is again rising in the East, judging by the harrumphing in Congress and a crop of books in the past couple of years, such as Steve Hamm's "Bangalore Tiger: How Indian Tech Upstart WIPRO is Rewriting the Rules of Global Competition" and Ted Fishman's "China Inc: How the Rise of the Next Superpower Challenges America and the World".

Obama to task for self-consciously italicizing parallels between himself and Lincoln, there are in fact a host of uncanny correspondences between these two former Illinois state legislators who had short stints in Congress under their belts before coming to national prominence with speeches showcasing their eloquence: two cool, self-contained men, who managed to stay calm and graceful under pressure; two stoics embracing the virtues of moderation and balance; two relatively new politicians who were initially criticized for their lack of experience and for questioning an invasion of a country that, in Lincoln's words, was "in no way molesting, or menacing the U.S."

尽管一些批评指出奥巴马自觉地突出他与林肯之间的并列，但这两位都自己获得过国会短暂任期的前伊利诺斯州议员，在运用展示他们的雄辩的演讲获得全国性的声望之前，事实上确实有许多不寻常的相似性：两人都有点冷酷并自我控制，都可以在压力之下保持冷静和优雅；两人都清心寡欲，信奉中庸和平衡的美德；两人相对来说都是稚嫩的政治家，他们最初都因缺少经验，以及用林肯的话来说是&绝不打扰或威吓美国&地质疑对一个国家的侵占而受到批评。
