That said, the parallel between Claudius is tenuous...but the parallel between Obama and Caligula is profound.
I do appreciate your drawing parallels between the present and classical Rome...congrats on that.
Keep up the good work.
And Happy Thanksgiving.
I think a better parallel would be between Nero and Obama, rather than Caligula and Obama. Caligula was likely insane and a pervert—and he flaunted both traits. I don’t think Obama is either; nor do I think he’s stupid.
I do think that, at his core, he’s a Marxist who hates America and anything he perceives as ‘colonial’. And, to the extent he can get away with it, he’s trying to weaken the Country and remake it in his own image.
I tinks he is a idiot for believing that communism is the cure for global ills.
Communism, like islam (another one of his belief structures held dear), has never produced anything good.
He is also awfully short sighted and a idiot in wanting to remove America from the global stage.
