In 1848, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, writing in The Communist Manifesto, declared: "In bourgeois society . . . the past dominates the present; in Communist society, the present dominates the past."13 This view is shared by contemporary statists, including the current occupants of the White House. On May 14, 2008, the future First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, while campaigning for her husband, Barack Obama, proclaimed: "We are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history. We're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."14 On October 30, 2008, when the polls showed him the likely winner of the upcoming presidential election, Barack Obama shouted during a campaign stop days before the vote: "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America."15"
