Read it:
- The slaves that were within rebelling territories were released. That did nothing for the slaves.
- The slaves that were within non-rebelling territories were not relseased. That also did nothing for the slaves.
The only way to free the slaves was to pursue the Civil War to its conclusion, and pass the 13th Amendment, and Lincoln knew it. The proclamation was a propaganda document, and was clearly unconstitutional as an executive order, and Lincoln knew it (or he would have ordered all slaves to be freed, not just the ones he had no power over). Now, you are using that political document to justify unconstitutional executive orders today, because of the emotional attachment all (even me) have for the document.
I suspect you have thought this through, and you are just counting on us not realizing you are being disingenuous.

You said, "The extent that they bother you is usually directly related to your political views." Indeed, the extent to which Trump bothers YOU is directly related to your political views. If you were logically consistent and not partisan, you would be bothered about Obama, but you are not.
