Here's one I didn't know...

...only three other Democrats have won presidential elections with more than 50.1% of the vote: Andrew Jackson, FDR and LBJ.

Despite all the comparisons of Obama to Lincoln, FDR and Kennedy, I think a better one might be to LBJ. Obama has big plans for domestic reform like Johnson. And like Johnson, he runs the risk of getting sidetracked by foreign wars.
