Obama: a 21^st century Nero?

Myth has it that Roman Emperor Nero (15 December 37 AD--9 June 68 AD), fiddled while Rome burned. Historians tell us this story isn't 100 percent true. Violins didn't technically exist in 64 AD, but Nero--and the six-day Great Fire of Rome that destroyed approximately three-quarters of the city--were real enough. At the time, Nero blamed Christian scapegoats (then an obscure sect) for all the trouble. Sounds a lot like our current Islam-inclined U.S. president, and a political landscape where history is repeating itself.
