Some Interesting Parallels with the Roman Empire.

Augustus = Reagan (both were strong, wise leaders who took over in times of turmoil and restored peace and prosperity).

Tiberius = Bush 41 (both were decent leaders but lesser than their predecessors. Their generals, Germanicus and Schwartzkopf, won great victories abroad).

Caligula = Clinton (both were immature, narcissistic, militarily incompetent, and obsessed with sex).

Claudius = Bush 43 (both were pathetically inarticulate and were derided as idiots by their contemporaries, but proved to be able administrators. Claudius conquered britain, Bush liberated Afghanistan and Iraq).

Nero = Obama (one played the lyre while Rome burned; the other played the liar while the USA melted down).
