Nero fiddled while Rome burned. After flying a pizza man over 1,000 miles, obozo hosts a pizza party while Capt Phillips is held hostage by the Somali pirates. Iran burns while obozo eats ice cream with MSM fawning over him like a pet dog. Something is seriously wrong with these pictures.
And based on either history or legend, not only did Nero fiddle while Rome burned - HE BURNED IT.
Apparently Mr. Nero liked to destroy things, so he could rebuild them. One day, he decided to burn Rome...well, the Romans were pretty pissed, so Nero needed to find a scapegoat...he did...Christians.
So began some of the most prolific persecution of Christians known in that day, including rolling Christians in pitch, setting them in Nero's garden, and lighting them on fire...to light Nero's gardens.
I guess I know where ballerina Rahm Emmanuel got the expression "never let a crisis go to waste"...
