A question, as I run out the door and don't have ten hours to blow Wikiing about it right now: is Obama also our first President in a long time, and maybe ever FWIW in terms of historical comparisons, to come from The City, IE to have a background that's largely urban (and major-urban at that) as opposed to rural? And what is that going to mean, in terms of a world that's recently flipped to being majority-urban itself? (Gun-control and population issues like transit/transit-related-pollution and crime come immediately to mind, are there others y'all can think of?)
