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.

WRF is the point of the POS trash rag?

[Fightin Whitey]

Yes, tell this child just how cool is the gutless, nutless pickaninny Obama.

Sickening.

[Let's Roll]

The soft bigotry of low expectations - very low.

“For the Obamas, looking cool is part of the job”

They failed on both fronts.

Robin Givhan is racist.

[jch10]

Oh, please! This is disgusting!

[moovova]

Lord...please tell me that’s not a thong line showing.

On the other hand, it’s a testament to American ingenuity...

...a thong made out of wire mesh.

For the Obamas, looking cool is part of the job...

And by "cool," we mean irretrievably stupid.

[Organic Panic]

The Obamas are black and liberal. The LSM was required to worship them. Mooch wore garbage bags and they fawned over her. If they were conservative and black they would have thrown every racist meme at them.

More clickbait from the Washington Post’s ‘fake news department’. So I did not click through to read the article.

Did Robin Givhan call Obama a “lightworker”, or did she settle for merely calling him “the Messiah”?

Why is Robin Givhan such a sucker?

[minnesota_bound]

obama has always looked the fool.

[Darksheare]

The msm will eventually report on: Obama’s “an historic poo”, his historic nose picking, has passing, burping, etc etc.

That’s the first picture that pops in my head when the words “cool” and Obama are used in the same sentence.LOL

[catnipman]

The REAL heroes don’t dress and act to look “cool”, they dress to preserve their lives and act to preserve ours. How “cool” do the guys look in the cherry-pickers in the middle of the night in a howling blizzard when it’s 10 below zero fixing your broken Internet service or electric service, as was the case here a couple of weeks ago? Or the guys fixing broken water mains in the same conditions?

I’m sick of the fawning, sycophantic fake stream media and their “metrosexuals are so cool” BS.

[Baynative]

I think Obama being so uncool and effeminate sort of shows the power of the racial rhetoric used by liberals.

I can't imagine why most black men who seem to be mostly strong and assertive would be drawn to him.

(but that's just me)

[shalom aleichem]

where’s the barf alert?

[trebb]

LOL! And I was led to believe looking “clean and literate” was the standard.....

[Joe Boucher]

can’t climb any further up the obammy’s rear ends/
