Kiefer says it might be premature to suggest that Obama will be able to fix all the problems confronting the country. A history teacher in Sacramento, Calif., he also has five children of his own, ranging in age from 2 months to 14 years. In his song, Kiefer says Obama is acting like a grownup.
"He says everything is all right in the same way that you might hold a child in your arms who has an ouwie," Kiefer says. "And you stroke that child, and you say everything's all right. That's essentially what I think what Obama has done for us as a nation — taken this basically broken child and said, 'Hey, come on, everything's good. We're tough, we can do this. Let's move forward.' " NPR
