Since then, Obama has become a repository for all kinds of breathless hopes: black and white, red and blue. At rallies, people lean in to touch him, to whisper their thanks.

"I don't think that's by any stretch of the imagination the largest part of the story," says Ronald Walters, a former adviser to the Rev. Jesse Jackson. "You have to ask yourself, Why has this guy been so successful...

In AntiGrav, however, mastering complex tricks like the gravitron (that's a backflip plus a 360° spin to the right) takes skill. The better you get, the more you are rewarded with surprises and new challenges. On a level called the Aerodome, for example, you ride through man-made lava, ice and jungles. In the Falls, you soar past waterfalls and skyscrapers. As you jump and duck, flip and soar...
