"When Obama Saw The Breadth Of His Domain, He Wept For There Were No More Worlds To Conquer."

Hmmmmm:

At the White House�s celebration of Greek Independence Day Wednesday afternoon, President Obama got a little unexpected flattery from Archbishop Demetrios, the head of the Greek Orthodox Church in the United States

Listing a series of challenges Obama will need to deal with as president, Demetrios predicted: Demetrios to Obama: "Following the brilliant example of Alexander the Great...you will be able to cut the Gordian knot of these unresolved issues."

Obama responded by making a face to the crowd, prompting laughter. And when he took the mic, he speculated on what the compliment could do for him at home.

I know nothing about the Archbish. Perhaps he was just being old-fashioned. Perhaps he really was just trying to be encouraging. But it seems to me that there are very few educated people about these days who don't view Alexander as a raving megalomaniac.

So, hearty endorsement or subtle slam? You be the judge.
