#4  ..that's why the man is quickly replacing competent field commanders with political appointees. Like most things that those in the administration have in understanding the real world which they don't, the key to the military is the middle grade officers and NCOs.

#2  The Latin term for king was despised by the Romans because of their prior Etruscan masters. That is why the term imperator was adopted by those who gloried as the later rulers of Rome after the Republic. Soon the term President will assume the same connotation as that found in our South American neighbors rather than its original meaning.

#1  Someone forgot to tell Obama and Moochelle that we don't have a King, Queen, or Emperor.
