Those are disgraceful words for ANY President to utter. In Lincoln's case he RULED like he thought he was Caesar so what he said is fitting-for him.

Thomas Jefferson coined the term "Empire of Liberty" to describe the United States. Do you find that offensive too?

I don’t think any President should use the word empire to describe the USA. Empire of Liberty, I guess....
