Unabridged Title:Content Section Pouncing on Presidential Coolness: How The Right is Trying to Neutralize Obama's Hipness
The right has come up with a new line of attack against Barack Obama: Hes too cool.
You read that right.
Suddenly, it was an act of unpresidential affrontery for Obama to go on Jimmy Fallons show. Never mind that presidents and presidential candidates have been doing the late-night thing for two decades, back to Bubbas sax-playing moment with Arsenio. Never mind that Mitt Romney recited a silly Top Ten list on Letterman and pretended to be reading Kim Kardashians tweets. Never mind that George W. Bush went on Oprah. Obama was a bad boy.
What the hell is "hipness" anyway? I'm sure, those who are out of a job,those who've become financially destitute, desperate, whose lives, this country having been turned inside out, upside down, those hunkering down to await the disaster, catastrophe coming our way as a result of this man's policies, I'm sure "hipness", "being hip" is the only thing that's going to save the day.
On second thought, hipness does count for something. On the day of his disastrous 57-state loss in the presidential election, shouting out, “Hip, Hip, Hooray!” will mean a whole hell of a lot to me.
I have always heard the expression as "You can't swing a dead cat but I suppose he didn't want to offend any cat lovers.
The expression, "Catch a tiger by the toe", has also been politically corrected from the racist version I heard as a kid.
“The expression, “Catch a tiger by the toe”, has also been politically corrected from the racist version I heard as a kid. “
Not where I live.
Obozo is a limp wristed, infeminite, communist homosexual.
Now, how “hip” is he?
It is when you are a failure like Obama is.
Wasn’t Jesse Jackson the first one to suggest “neutralizing” him?
“Now, how hip is he?”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I don’t know, I’m still trying to find “infeminite” in the dictionary.
Obama isn't a "failure". He's doing a pretty damn good job destroying the country.
Hipness??? If Obama din’t have Big Media in his hip pocket, he would go NO WHERE! Tell the truth about him and he loses everything. Metrosexual embarrassment.
ie, “Fundamental Transformation”
*didn’t*
So, some sort of "historical precedent" gives it gravitas? It was lame when Clinton did it; it's lame now. The President should behave . . . wait for it . . . presidential.
If we continue on our current glide cycle, President Camacho is really not too far in the future.
I guess I am just culturally illiterate because I resent the “Ghettoization” of the White House.
Yeah, he’s cool all right. About as cool as a (gay) cucumber.
Howard Kurtz hasn’t know what’s hip since 1988.
Jimmy Fallon hasn’t been hip, ever.
Over the last two decades, it’s hard to believe the depths of failure that Newsweek has dove into on their own free will.
.Comedy shows are a natural venue for a joke of a “president”
Just, wow.
