Obama is the icon of people who have 'learnt' to love their own servitude and slavery. This "Brave New World" was forecasted by Aldous Huxley over half a century ago:
See 1:08 - 2:05 of the above video:
"I think, what is going to happen in the future, is the dictators will find, as the saying goes, that you can do everything with bayonets except sit on them. If you want to preserve your power indefinitely, you have to get the consent of the ruled. And this they will do, partly by drugs, as I foresaw in Brave New World, partly by these new techinques of propaganda; but they will do it by bypassing the rational sides of man, and appealing to his subconsciousness, his deeper emotions, and his physiology; and making him actually love his slavery. I believe this is the danger, that actually people may be in some ways happy under the new regime, but they'll be happy in a situation where they ought not to be happy."
