It is pretty obvious that Jim is talking about Jesus in this song, which is nothign new for his lyrics. Jim has always had many spiritual songs bordering on gospel. Maybe you have to see him live to really connect the dots, I don't know.
I like some of the imagination in these responses, but this song was written prior to Obama being a national figure, and it would be kind of a stretch to say it is mocking Bush - especially considering the raw emotion he puts into singing this song, particularly during live performances.
I am sure Jim is a liberal guy, but he is also very spiritual.
