After Obama's rallies and gatherings, his sound guy usually plays this excellent classic from Stevie Wonder [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XfkXEp5Pj6I&feature=related] including the great lyrics
Here I am baby
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed delivered, Im yours)
But recently, presumably to appeal to voters who only think of Stevie Wonder when making jokes about blind people, Obama has been shaking hands on the ropeline to 'Only In America' a sickmaking little country dittie by two Texan flopperinos named Brooks and Dunn. Great name. This song (the mirror of which we in Britain could never imagine Gordon Brown playing) is strangly addictive and catchy, and drips of sentiment.
In a sub-John 'Cougar' Meloncamp way, Brooks and Dunn have captured the essence of the American dream by sketching out a few kids' futures:
One kid dreams of fame and fortune
One kid helps pay the rent
One could end up going to prison
One just might be president
Here I am baby
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed delivered, Im yours)

Ah, ya see - just like Barack! He's gonna be president and this song is about that too! Duh!
