Under Romney there is room for both. Lincoln for the greatness he was to America and Churchill representing the special arrangement between England and america. These two countries need to hang together in this very dangerous world.
Under Obama there isn't room for England at all as they were racist imperialistic pigs who jailed his father, except that was a lie in obama's book. Lincoln holds a very tenuous position also. He only made the grade as the time isn't quite ripe for the grinding up of all racist whites, as Lincoln was. his stature hasn't yet quite been fully destroyed by revisionists, appliers of this century's standards to two century ago's realities, and the academe, although obama's waiting with an eagerness born of disregard, hate and a large dose of it's our turn now-ism.

Abraham Lincoln Quote
“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races – that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything.”
