The Roman historian Suetonius recounts that in his waning days, the emperor Tiberius had grown “thoroughly disgusted with himself” having besmirched the honors and successes of his youth with extravagant devotion to a great variety of sexual perversions, interspersed with the paranoid murder and persecution of enemies, real and perceived. Recognizing that history would not look kindly upon him, Tiberius cast about for a solution. What he came up with condemned his country to madness and tyranny, but indeed improved his own image. Tiberius adopted the son of the man he probably murdered to ascend to emperor, the obviously sadistic and insane Gaius Caligula, and bequeathed Rome to him.
President Obama is more popular at the end of his quasi-imperial reign than Tiberius was at the end of his. Feted and flattered still, it is unlikely that Obama feels disgusted with himself, if that’s even possible. Nor, of course, is Obama a deviant or a murderer, or Hillary obviously sadistic or insane.
Nonetheless, like Tiberius Obama is a failed leader. At least the Roman balanced the budget. Obama is, in his spending habits, Caligula-like. His foreign policy is a shambles, he (and by implication his nation) is internationally disrespected, his administration from the IRS to the Justice Department is hopelessly corrupt, his signature legislation which commonly bears his moniker is imploding, race relations are tattered, police are regularly gunned down on the streets, Islamists terrorist hack, blow up or gun down civilians to boot, while the country staggers through the worst “economic recovery” in its history, bolstered by an phony zero interest rate inflated stock market bubble that will eventually explode. If not for a compliant mainstream press, and Obama’s historic position as the first black President, he might indeed be as unpopular as Tiberius was in his last days.

Idiotic piece collapses completely in the second paragraph.
Unlike Hillary, Obama is too weak to be a murder (by his own hand) but how do they posit he isn't a deviant?
He is the most disgusting human that ever occupied a public office in America...and that list includes a lot of disgusting people!
Did you actually read it?
If you define “success” by the traditional measurements US Presidents are judged by, Obama is an absolute failure with zero accomplishments.
If you measure him by the Cloward–Piven strategy of destroying the established political system to remake it in a new radically collectivist fashion, the jury is still out. Must depends on who is elected. If Clinton loses, it may be Obama failure is total.
That is why I pointed out the idiocy.
Nor, of course, is Obama a deviant or a murderer, or Hillary obviously sadistic or insane.
The premise from which the article is written is not estableshed, nor do I cede to taking it as a given.
You don't get a whole lot more sadistic than asserting a twelve year old virgin who has been raped was really a seductive Lolita flitting around from older man to older man in court. And Obama was a well known denizen of the Chicago bathhouse scene.
Sadly the American people are witnessing their President knowingly and vigorously promote the candidacy of an inherently dishonest, shamelessly corrupt criminal Hillary Clinton to come President. absolutely shameful.
Stopped reading right there. What does someone with his head in a basket have to tell me?
What is once perversion is not celebrated as the only acceptable.
What is once perversion is now celebrated as the only acceptable.
Barack Tiberius 0bama, kinda got a ring to it...
The perversions on Capri may or may not have happened--the stories reflect the speculation at the time.
Many Americans unfortunately do not know tyranny that has gripped this country and tightening election by election. The patriots of our founding would be up in arms by now. Rome declined and so will America without a reformation and purge.The bread and circuses welfare, socialist idol worship and praetorian like administration is enough to keep the proletariat in its place. By that definition Obama is winning and his regret is not doing more. Maybe Clinton wins and carries the torch or she loses and we get a respite. Unfortunately, the left never tires. Some say the fall of Rome was in the end a cultural transformation. The fall of America as designed by the Marxist will not be a pretty historical ending.
Reagan = Augustus
GHW Bush = Tiberius
Clinton = Caligula
GW Bush = Claudius
Obambi = Nero
Looks like something out of an opening sequence for one of Rowan Atkinson’s Black Adder series!
...That’s a mouthful just to reference Black Adder! :-[
Obama is trying to keep his sorry ass out of jail! That’s it!
