Well, I'll cede the point although I think it's just a case of Obama "appealing to the expert" with regard to political science. That and similar is a valid example of the classics pervading our culture. Anyway, scholars themselves still revere Plato and Aristotle to a huge extent. I think it's a reasonably fair generalization.
