Obama’s quick trip from tyrant to weakling



The two are not mutually exclusive. Many of the great villains of history were both tyrants and weaklings. In fact being weak causes them to lash out brutally in order to cover that weakness. Nero, Caligula, John Lackland, Louis XVI and Kaiser William II were all weak willed men who wielded tyrannical power. In each case they vacillated between trying to curry popular favor, self indulgence, and fits of rage.
