Obama’s aides were laboring mightily to further that impression
The dictonary shows me that "were laboring mightily" means they did mightily "efforts" why is that so it's change from verb to a noun?
Does "Impression" refer here as if people were seeing already Obama as a leader? Not clear ...
" ... Slowly, subtly, tentatively, Obama seemed to be trying on the mantle of a
national leader. Obama’s aides were laboring mightily to further that
impression"

'Were laboring mightily' means 'were working hard'.

That is the meaning, but 'doing big efforts' is not good English.
