Abraham Lincoln. Not exactly a looker.......
Does this statement make me shallow & cruel? He did amazing things for the country, but I'm just saying, he's not known for his handsome face. So, am I being cruel?

1. No. You are right. He was not a good looking man. But
looks has nothing to do with being a good president(or a good person)

2. You're absolutely right.
This is a copycat.

I hoped to make the point of how ridiculous this sounds when applied to a male political figure. But when the political figure in question is a woman, some people believe this is a relevant point of discussion.

5. That's strange...
I just started reading American Brutus tonight. Per haps you've stumbled on the real reason why Booth shot Lincoln.

6. No, things are what they are.
Why would this make you shallow and cruel?

7. I like Walt Whitman's description of him.
Described him as a “Hoosier Michelangelo—so ugly (he) becomes beautiful."
