So that arch-liberal read-by-nobody magazine, oh pardon me, soon-to-be-online-only magazine, Newsweek in its latest issue depicts President Obama as a Napoleonic figure while the Republicans are ‘old, white and history’. I am afraid the irony has escaped the authors. So I just ask: When exactly is Mr Obama’s Waterloo? Well, soon, very soon indeed. Except, unfortunately, it will be ours too. Because, ehm, not just Republicans have ‘dinosauric’ tendencies: the most of the Western civilization is ‘white’. The most of it is or will be ‘old’ pretty soon. And thus we will all be just HISTORY.
Oh well, nevermind. Goodbye and thanks for those two thousand years. It was one hell of a roller-coaster ride!
You are mistaken. It is George Washington’s uniform/coat.

The Newsweek article describes the President as Napoleon is where the reference comes from.
