I'm reminded of an anecdote attributed to the President "I don't mind losing the general, so much, I can make another in 5 minutes.... but I do regret the loss of the horses"

Whether you agree with his politics or not (I don't) Old Abe had a sense of humor, and was funny, I don't care who you are...

I gotta agree with you there. Abe Lincoln definitely had a way with words. I'll have to pick up a book or two on him sometime, and get to know him better. Unfortunately, I don't have much more than average knowledge about the man.
