Remember Nebuchadnezzar.

The news reported yesterday that Obama was quite the hit at the White House correspondents dinner. He said that his next 100 days would be so successful, that he would finish them in 72 days. Then, on the 73rd day, he would rest.

I know that was a joke, and I have as good a sense of humor as anybody else, but Obama is treading dangerous ground. Remember what happened to Nebuchadnezzar when he got just a little too big for his britches? Here it is from the Book of Daniel Chapter 4:

• 30The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
  
• 31While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.
  
• 32And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
  
• 33The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.

A word to the wise should be sufficient, but that begs two questions. Will it be sufficient? Is Obama wise?
