1. I agree that the election of Senator Obama is similar to that of Andrew Jackson. In fact, I had thought of that on my own too. It seems that they both had a real, inspiring vision, not just a bullet list of policies. Of course we’ll see if Sen. Obama delivers. Also, I think that the change of power from a moderate conservative like Bush to a possibly radical liberal like Obama is similar to the “Revolution of 1800,” where two clearly conflicting ideologies faced off as well. | 1.
