Mr. House: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLrxT8Vu978 (Don't listen if you don't like rock music.)
This song always reminds me of Mr. House. Not so much his personality or the nation he's creating, but especially his take on the Second Battle for Hoover Dam.
"I wouldn't put my money on the other guy if you know what I know that I know." Reminds me of Mr. House's quote: "I haven't shown my hand - I've shown one card. They have no idea what other cards I'm holding. It's a strong hand, believe me. I dealt it - to myself."
Also the chorus: "It's been a long time coming, and the tables turned around." and "I'm not running, it's a little different now." House has been preparing for years. Centuries, even. Before and during the First Battle for Hoover Dam he wasn't much of a faction in the grand scheme of things. Joshua Graham states this himself; the Legion knew who he was but didn't mind too much, he wasn't a factor back then.
"It'll be a long time coming, but you got the message now. 'Cause I was never going. You're the one who's going down." House is not going anywhere. He will revive his city and take the Legion down to secure the safety of Vegas. The NCR can leave intact, but the Legion cannot remain a dominant force after the battle.
Well, that's my two cents.
