It's a metaphor, get it? And The Emporer isn't Obama...
One of my favorite images from last night:
The story is here:

And then there is Paul Krugman (Nobel Prize Winner) had this to say after the election…
"What I mean by that is that for the past 14 years America’s political life has been largely dominated by, well, monsters. Monsters like Tom DeLay, who suggested that the shootings at Columbine happened because schools teach students the theory of evolution. Monsters like Karl Rove, who declared that liberals wanted to offer "therapy and understanding" to terrorists. Monsters like Dick Cheney, who saw 9/11 as an opportunity to start torturing people.
And in our national discourse, we pretended that these monsters were reasonable, respectable people. To point out that the monsters were, in fact, monsters, was "shrill”.
Let’s not forget…these criminals need to be brought to justice. Anything can happen, right?
