Change We Need...magical words of Mr.President

Change We Need..the magical words of new Mr.President..Will he be able to make it..? I don't understand why he always link himself to Mr.Lincoln.
I strongly believe that he is spending his day in white house because of his
strong campaigning team which had covered the points and issues related with black Americans.Previously Obama said he follows Hanuman.My point here is that if you follow someone then why you need to tell it to everybody..?? Was it a publicity stunt to get Huge Indian vote bank to his side..?
Why he wanted the same bible which was used by Mr.Lincoln..? Why he wanted the same train to come to White House..??
Is it a successful campaign(better word is marketing..i think) or his good image made him to step in the White House ..??????
