Sorry, this isn't about basketball.  That's next week.

Very interesting how the issue that will define of death of this Presidency coincides with Ides of March, the day in when Julius Caesar was killed.

from Julius Caesar Act I Scene II 

CAESAR
Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
Cry 'Caesar!' Speak; Caesar is turn'd to hear.

Soothsayer
Beware the ides of March.

CAESAR
What man is that?

BRUTUS
A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.

CAESAR
Set him before me; let me see his face.

CASSIUS
Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.

CAESAR
What say'st thou to me now? speak once again.

Soothsayer
Beware the ides of March.

CAESAR
He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass.

Cast 2010:
Caesar - - Obamacare
Brutus - - Pelosireid
Soothsayer - - right wing blogosphere

Both Obama and Caesar were fairly warned, yet both blew off the criticism.  This week will tell if the parallels continue.
