"Some Like It Cool

He's been called hip, sexy and likened to a rock star. But the key to Obama's mystique is his earnest geekiness and sobriety."

This article shows the worship of the "cool" Obama back in 2008. That is gone now even amongst his hardcore followers in my opinion

It’s fun reading the utopian propaganda from circa 2008-2009. Karma.

Very good isn’t it!!
That was just the first link I clicked on by the way!

Really brings back the utter worship the media had for this clown.
He’s cool, hip, really almost too cool for anyone to understand.
Such utter bull$hit then and now.

America’s biggest bullshit artist. The cheerleader, not the coach.

The “Rock Star” has turned into a “Death Star”

Like the rock star analogy.

The rock star had his band leave him; and the crowds are gone. The groupies went back home to Kansas and are trying pay off the debt they ran up while unemployed and following the concert around the country.

The rock star now sits drunk and disheveled in an alley with a empty malt liquor bottle and cigarette butt by his side.

With a sign that says “Spare Change?”

Obama's self image in 2008:

and how we see him in 2012....

A sandman with feet of clay

ready to be washed away into the dustbin of history by a Tsunami in November.

I prefer Romney’s earnest geekiness and sobriety.

But, of course, he’s the wrong color and he loves his country.

Yeah, among recent college graduates who have had difficulty finding employment in their field, or ANY field for that matter, ‘cool’ is irrelevant to their situation.
