2. One problem, there is no comparison between Caesar..
and Bush. Caesar was a brave, gutsy, great General and Commander. He took direction from no one. He was afraid of no one. Quite the opposite of Bush.

Just taking a happy stroll down historic memory lane. Caesar was also somewhat of a bastard.

5. Caesar was a huge bastard...
I'm sure my Celt ancestors thought so--but at least he earned the right to be one by backing it up with more than words...;-)

4. Yep, Caesar was an example of combining born-into advantage with great ability
Bush only has half of that down. :)
