Pontifex maximus
Obama’s Easter address? Are you kidding me? In the Roman Empire one of the title’s of the emperor was Pontifex Maximus. A title that the Pope assumed as well. Obama’s Easter address is a sign that Obama really does believe that he is a god not unlike the roman model where the citizens were obliged to treat their earthly ruler as if they were a living god.

Obama’s Easter address: Retain values amid rancor
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Obama’s Easter address calls on people of all faiths, as well as non-believers, to embrace their common aspirations and “shared spirit of humanity.”
Obama used his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday to touch lightly on some of his administration’s priorities: expanding health coverage, creating jobs and improving education. But his comments were more spiritual than political in tone.
“On this Easter weekend,” he said, “let us hold fast to those aspirations we hold in common as brothers and sisters, as members of the same family — the family of man.” ~usatoday.com
