i hear and obey, oh slave of beelzebub: "Having seen the power of the Goetia to explain the dark forces controlling our government, I researched the guy who's leading this little parade.   Turns out he's been summoned too, probably by Dick Cheney.  He is undoubtedly 'Raum,' as the following text (with my annotations) will make clear:

' The Fortieth Spirit is Raum. (43rd President, but 40th spirit.) He is a Great Earl (e.g, son of a powerful lord); and appeareth at first in the Form of a Crow (which is apparently how he avoided his military service), but after the Command of the Exorcist he putteth on Human Shape. His office is to steal Treasures out King’s Houses (turn government surpluses into deficits by giving the money to his friends), and to carry it whither he is commanded (ibid), and to destroy Cities (see Iraq et al.) and Dignities of Men (e.g., dignity of work, of adequate education, income, etc.), and to cause Love between Friends and Foes (well, maybe he's working on it). He was of the Order of Thrones (that is, President who is son of a President). He governeth 30 Legions of Spirits  (possibly a reference to the Republican National Committee).'

Out, ye dark forces!  I'm headed to Washington to give Nancy Pelosi some advice on warding off  demons.    Join me if you dare."
