How evil are the two.
Comments are expected.
Okay, I’ll bite. Claudius who? There was a Roman emperor names Cladius, but he wasn’t evil. Or do you mean Caligula?
Claudius? The Roman Emperor? He was far from perfect, but I wouldn’t call him evil. He was a genius too.
Obama, on the other hand....
I don’t know Claudius but I do know Obama and he is the personification of evil. He HATES whites, Jews, and anyone who disagrees with his marxist/socialist agenda. He must be stopped. If there’s any armed rebellion, he will declare martial law and he’s just waiting to do it to take YOUR gun.
Research Claudius. Extrapolate and confirm.
Claudius was an idiot...but Obama is pure evil (well at least he is a muslim who is obliged to destroy all that is pure).
And you didn't even provide a link to Claudius (well there it is...that spotted link).
Research Claudius. Extrapolate and confirm.
“Are you confusing Caligula with Claudius.”
No, I’m not Claudius is an idiot, so is obama. The similarities are there. A roman emperor and the ‘leader of the free world’. Which person is going to destroy the republic?
......Claudius is an idiot
I’m guessing you never saw “I, Claudius” or even read the book. If you had, you’d know that [the fictional] Cladius was quite wise, but he played the fool—which is why he survived to become Emperor. And the real one had a pretty good record of leading the Empire.
At least Claudius was a Roman who cared about keeping Rome great. In short, there’s no comparison with Obama.
That said, the parallel between Claudius is tenuous...but the parallel between Obama and Caligula is profound.
I do appreciate your drawing parallels between the present and classical Rome...congrats on that.
Keep up the good work.
And Happy Thanksgiving.

Claudius' love life was unusual for an upper-class Roman of his day, in that he was the only one out of the first 15 emperors not to take men or boys, but only women as lovers
Uh-oh... comparison might falter here...
He was not a good guy, but apparently the people around him was worse.
I didn't get the OP's point, but why insult him so.
Have you never embarrassed yourself...or are you just unwilling to admit such?
Claudius was not an idiot. He was actually a genius.
actually i’ve always thought the similarities between obama and damien from the omen are the ones that scare me. they both came from hell. although we’re pretty sure who damien’s parents are. not so sure about the other.
Is that your opinion or that of Robert Graves who wrote “I Claudius”?
I think a better parallel would be between Nero and Obama, rather than Caligula and Obama. Caligula was likely insane and a pervert—and he flaunted both traits. I don’t think Obama is either; nor do I think he’s stupid.
I do think that, at his core, he’s a Marxist who hates America and anything he perceives as ‘colonial’. And, to the extent he can get away with it, he’s trying to weaken the Country and remake it in his own image.
Ditto what you said.
Well, Claudius conquered Britain and laid the foundation for one of the world’s great civilizations, in addition to Mauritania, Thrace and Lycia.
Not bad for an idiot.
