All the world’s a stage and no one likes a spotlight hog. Our narcissist-in-chief still thinks it’s all about him.

All the world’s a stage and no one likes a spotlight hog. Our narcissist-in-chief still thinks it’s all about him.

***

Obama would have done well to watch the movie “Patton” right after his inauguration ...

“For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph - a tumultuous parade.

In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments.

The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him.

Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot, or rode the trace horses.

A slave stood behind the conqueror, holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.”
