Barack Obama stands apart from other modern American Presidents in many ways. In addition to the obvious bi-racial background, he is the only President to win the Nobel Peace Prize in his first term, and the only one ever designated Advertising Age’s Marketer of the Year. Beyond such specific achievements is his ineffable appeal, the widespread view that he is the coolest President ever. This supernal coolness is not new. In his autobiography, Dreams From My Father, the President wrote that in his teenage years “I tried my best to be cool at all times” (p. 82). However, leaving aside the contradiction inherent in trying to be cool, it is possible that Barack Obama’s teenage experiences may have left him psychologically, and perhaps even neurologically, incapable of performing fundamental tasks of his current position.
Much of the appeal of coolness is its very elusiveness, but one definition is “cool means moving through the world at once effortlessly and effectively.” It is very zen (another kind of cool), for cool people to “get beyond striving [to] … a state where they’re not thinking, they’re not exerting effort, they’re not experiencing any doubts, and yet everything works out perfectly.” Yet everything is not working out perfectly for our President. And now even his supporters are confronting the realization that, while the President is meeting the criterion of not making much effort, the effectiveness part is not following.

“COULD?”
The bloom is off the rose. Of course cool-hand Barack is a narcissist and will never see it. “As the world turns” is going to be the new theme for King Putt in the near future. His celebrity days are numbered.
Nope.. it’s much simpler. He’s a narcissistic idiot whose also a sociopath, socialist, Marxist, muslim.
That was not for his firearms and emergency preparations sales, but it should have been.
So he does not care? I guess it is our imagination that we have the 0bamacare train wreck,50 million now on food stamps up from 30 million,millions more illegals,open borders,an out of control IRS,thousands of guns given to Mexican drug cartels with impunity,more part time jobs in history,incomes down,the military decimated,more racism from every governmental institution,including the justice department.
He sure knows how to concentrate on golf and basketball
As a front man who can shuck and jive with the best, Obama gets and A+
So Cool it hurts....the rest of us.
No, he’s just a self-obsessed asshole.
When the going gets tough, the cool quit
Regarding the pot-filled adolescense. In one of Ayers’ books,”obama” descibes spending high school “in a daze.” Could this, and the fact that he grew up among muslims and communists, explain why he cannot understand America, or think like an American? While we were at least somewhat awake during economics and history classes, this clown was in daze. He has no American background.
“Too Cool to Care”
Bull hockey, he’s just ignorant.
“Advertising Age’s Marketer of the Year”
He has been the selling point boon for the gun industry.
Ineffable, my ass. He's eminently effable.
Eff him!!!!!!
Somewhere in heaven, George Washington weeps for our country.
The America haters objective was to destroy America and he’s doing just that.
He is not totally without measurable accomplishments, he has made me hate to hear the word cool used as a description of a person.
