Custer made the mistake of a lifetime when he divided his forces before heading to Little Bighorn, under the assumption that he was facing only 800 Indians under Sitting Bull.
Captain Edward Smith or the Titanic made the mistake of a lifetime when he ordered full speed on 14 April, 1912, despite reports of ice ahead.
Julius Caesar made the mistake of a lifetime when he allowed more than sixty “former” enemies to surround him on the Ides of March in 44 BC.
None of those mistakes are in any way comparable to the stupidity of working to help Barack Obama become president of our country, nor did any of them prove as destructive as the terrible error of 2008 has been and will continue to be.
