Everyone who has ever risen to the level of greatness has found himself in for criticism. The Chicago Times, one hundred and thirty odd years ago, had this to say about the address that Lincoln delivered at Gettysburg:
“The cheek of every American must tingle with shame as he reads the silly, flat, and dishwatery utterances of the man who has to be pointed out to intelligent foreigners as the President of the United States.”
