I dont remember exactly where I saw it, but I hadnt known before that theres another name for Nemesis:
In Greek mythology, Nemesis (Greek, Νέμεσις), also called Rhamnousia/Rhamnusia (the goddess of Rhamnous) at her sanctuary at Rhamnous, north of Marathon, was the spirit of divine retribution against those who succumb to hubris (arrogance before the gods). The Greeks personified vengeful fate as a remorseless goddess: the goddess of revenge. The name Nemesis is related to the Greek word νέμειν [némein], meaning to give what is due.
Perhaps Obama should hesitate before invoking Romnesia. It has a similar ring, doesnt it?

(not my writing, so don't blame me.)
Very very literary.
Anyhow it looks very much like the Obama administration is headed for some nemesis, all right.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing it, dear grey_whiskers!
