For the Obamas, looking cool is part of the job

There was something intriguing about Barack and Michelle Obama that went beyond their historic rise to power. It was, in part, their manner of being, their aesthetic and the nonverbal ways in which they communicated — with the public and with each other. Their physical language and style spoke intimately to African Americans, but they also broadly reflected the contemporary culture.

MSM sycophants.

The fawning will simply never stop, will it?

[ealgeone]

is this not a racist observation? that for a black to be successful he/she has to be perceived as “cool” or “hip”?

Robin Givhan is the snob who savaged the lovely Sarah Palin. That was almost 10 years ago.

Since then Givhan has proved -time and again- that her "style" judgment is completely dependent on politics.

Perfect representatives of modern society; where more importance is placed on how you look and what people perceive of you. Actual accomplishments are irrelevant.

Don’t kid youself. White milennials voted in droves for Obama on account of the “I got this” factor. It was the equivalent of Clinton playing the Sax on late nite television.

“Looking cool” is not in their playbook. YHGTBSM.

Print not fit to line the bottom of a bird cage!

Gold plating a turd by trying to turn this into camelot II.

Perfect. Now I know why Putin pees himself every time he thinks about OZero.
