Obama & The Napoleon-Nixon Gene

Like something from the Human Genome project, one feels like announcing discovery of the long-lost Napoleon-Nixon gene.  Obama apparently has the Napoleon-Nixon defensive, arrogant, and unaccountable gene — albeit with none of Nixon’s redeeming expertise in international power politics, and none of Napoleon’s record for strategy and war.
