Barack Hussein Obama is the nation’s first hip president.

This, of course, is subject to debate. But watch him walk. Listen to him talk. See the body language, the expressions, the clothes. He’s got attitude, rhythm, a sense of humor, contemporary tastes.

Truth be told, his style is rooted in something elusive and hard to define. Pure and simple, it’s hip.

“Being hip is being able to navigate your environment and others’ environments,” like the way Obama traverses racial boundaries, said John Leland, author of the definitive book “Hip: The History.”

If hip is synonymous with Anti-American Muslim TREASONOUS POS ... then FUBO is the “hippest” president even

Wasn’t Bill Clinton considered hip back in his day? Or JFK also?

Obama is not smart, not good-looking, not funny, not well socialized, not nice, not normal, and not hip.

There is nothing about this man that is redeemable or worthy. Usually you can find something good about even mostly contemptable people if you try; on this one, I am at a total loss.

A narcissist with a sense of humour? That's unpossible!
