Also, most of what you have just mentioned is more indicative of the collapse of the Republic, following which there was another 500 years of Empire, much of which was even more successful than the the Republican period.
America has yet to reach it’s ‘Principate’ phase if we’re making the analogy with Rome here. So is Obama a Marius, brothers Gracchi or a Julius Caesar, or maybe a combination?

Well ofcourse the U.S.A. is not a verbatim remake of the Roman Empire.(antiAmerican Cynics from Europe to Canada will call us that)
We are a democracy of which Rome never truly was.
We don’t rely on slaves for cheap labour(once again Libs and Lefties will compare that to immigrant labour).
I think Obama is our Septimus Serverus, an interloper~
He maybe our Septimus Serverus, an interloper from Africa
