Another one falls in love with the cradle of the best and the worst:
The oddest thing about the way the American epic narrative seduces is that, even when you know that it's really a dream, a highly subjective and self-serving projection, its power is not diminished. On the contrary, it's heightened. Even as Michelle sought to argue that her husband was special, she sought at the same time to portray him as living proof that "anyone" can be president.
It's so American, that duality, the way that a story can be simultaneously perfect truth and utter bullshit.
