Barack Obama is like Adam Lambert on American Idol: all trying too hard to be as hip as possible, decked out in all the trendiest of trendy duds, etc.
While the very least perceptive of the American Public are incapable of seeing through the shallow facade...and imagine the "image" is the "substance". And believing the guy(s) are actually "cool" when the very best that can be said of either of them is that they are "trendy".
"Trendy" is about how you say things. "Cool" is about what you say.
"Trendy" is how you look. "Cool" is what you are.
"Trendy" is wearing things you think make you "cool". "Cool" is making whatever you wear "cool" because you wear it.
The difference is monumental. And anyone who can't see it...well, may not be very "cool".

"Right on!" Kidding,sorta. "Ebony" cover ("Black Cool") reminds me...Guess BO's White Mama and Grandparents (who gave him a better chance at Life than his Daddy's other babies never had) never existed.I've noticed that a disproportionate ammount of successful celebs on the cover of Ebony,Jet,etc. are half-White,yet are considered "Black". Reminds me of apartheid South Africa's race rules,tho to American Libs it's a feel-good,huggy thang.Like those flaky folks who are 1/8 Amerindian claim to be "Native Americans" (a lot are in so-called Tribal Councils nowadays,in order to get those Casino bucks,or on a small scale,assume some bullshit moral high ground).Sorry...off-topic.But,not really.Old Tower of Power tune that says it all..."What is Hip?"
