Which of these individuals convinced candidate Abraham Lincoln to grow a beard?
Correct answer: Grace Bedell, eleven year old girl

The fact that he not only bothered to look at a letter from a child, and took it seriously speaks volumes more than his already great deeds have indicated. This was one of the most genuine people we are ever likely to see in Office. I hope we can see his type lead us again someday soon.

Just think how great this game would be if everyone who has something negative to say would just shut up and stop playing the game.

Jezebel, obviously not everyone felt there was competency in the White House. I mean there was a civil war and all. So many people felt the way then that you are feeling right now. You must feel better now. At least for now. But wait til you find the nightmare only gets worse. Who are you going to blame then? What happens if we learn that the nightmare gets far worse with someone else at the helm?? Scary.

OrdinaryCommander334, The great man in the office right now is trying to clean up the filth and crime that’s been swept under the rug for years. The other side is scared the truth will all come out! But it’s coming!!!cant wait!

I doubt we will ever have an open minded leader like him ever. How sad is our country that we allow power to corrupt our leaders' judgement.
On a lighter note, she was probably the first candidate advisor ever... lol
