Not a chance. It will begin with FDR. Obama will be the equivalent of Ricimer or Odovacer. Watch.

I think Id begin w/ Woodrow.

I agree. Also, the ancestors of Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy and the list goes on... will be proud of the fact that they all had a big part to play in the destruction of America as well.

The question is whether the future Gibbon will be writing in Arabic or Chinese.

Actually the comparision is quite close. Reagen was Augustus, conqueror, statesman, reunited a republic savaged by civil war.

Bush the elder is Vespasian. Finished the conquests of his predecessor, but unable to step out of his shadows. A man ruled by conspiracies.

Clinton was Caligula. Ruthless and ruled by his passions without any care for the state he ruled.

Bush the younger is Claudius. A holdover of a prior administration brought to power as a result the incompetence of his predecessor. Somewhat over his head he kept the empire together, but was unable to arrest the rot within.

And that brings us to Obama is the Nero. An emperor who wants to be an actor. He is surrounded by sycophants who only tell him how wonderful he is. He destroys any who dare even the most tame criticism. He has lost all connection to reality. And with outrageous taxes and brutal oppression he will bring about a rebellion that will plunge the empire into civil war.

How about “Nerobama”.

“and they will trample the Holy City for 42 months.”

That should take us to Dec 21,2012, more or less.

I whole heartedly believe that millions of people will die because of his naive policies...
