Will Obama become the first grassroot president?

I cannot say I am very interesting in any politics other than international relations and policies. Anyhow, it has been interesting to briefly follow the American presidential election. Obama has for the first time in the history a very broad support from his financial supporters. A million people have contributed to his campaign which potentially according to some would make him the most independent president in history. I still wonder how independent he really is and if he is as saint-like as everyone say.

To me it seems as if it is a beauty (Obama) and the beast (Hillary) fight in the democratic party. It remains to be seen if there aren't really two beauties or more funny two beasts... Who knows?

The one thing we do know is that Obama probably would be the closest we have come to a grassroot president ever. That would be cool for sure.
