Obama's whole campaign has been very layered with myth. There are allusions everywhere to some very great and powerful touchstones in American history and character. In Obama I see alot of Lincoln, Roosevelt and Reagan. I find his speeches I see alot of Emerson ..even last night he dropped some Einstein paraphrasing - "You understand that in this election, the greatest risk we can take is to try the same old politics with the same old players and expect a different result." and Einstein said "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."..
I mean Obama IS the smart guy in the room and he's (or the people around him) really know how to connect his story to the deeper and older currents in the US mythos. I hope it works...
