Is this one a primitive animatronic too, I wonder?

If humanity is ever attacked by mechanical race of Abrahams Lincoln I only hope that they scream “E-MAN-CI-PATE! E-MAN-CI-PATE!” as they chase people around.

Just opposite that bust is a Sphinx of President Grant, and if you try to walk past them with unpatriotic thoughts in your heart they shoot laser beams at you from their eye sockets.
