Lincoln for everyone

The ruler of Qatar was visiting the Lincoln Museum in Springfield. Asked for a comment on the facility, he gave an answer that shows how to squeeze lemonade out of any kind of lemon handed you:

"This museum demonstrates that America does not forget a president united the country."

Translation: no emirate should forget an emir united its tribes. (That's a complete political philosophy in 13 words or less.)

Note that the emir's comment seems to rank President Lincoln above Citizen Washington. In that, at least, the emir stands with most American historians.
