It is very easy to laugh the whole thing off. But, I think that pop-culture stuff like this gives important insights into the overall public zeitgeist. That people want to believe in a politician who is exciting and inspirational and that they are longing for a new direction for America. Barack Obama just happens to fit nicely into that quite-nearly-empty niche.
