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: He’s too cool.

You read that right.

Suddenly, it was an act of unpresidential affrontery for Obama to go on Jimmy Fallon’s show. Never mind that presidents and presidential candidates have been doing the late-night thing for two decades, back to Bubba’s sax-playing moment with Arsenio. Never mind that Mitt Romney recited a silly Top Ten list on Letterman and pretended to be reading Kim Kardashian’s tweets. Never mind that George W. Bush went on Oprah. Obama was a bad boy.

Oh please. Not the “Mr. Cool” cr*p again...

The same bunch of crotch sniffing clowns would think Al Gore was cooler then the Fonze if Al's skin was brown. A guy who throws like a sissy, eats grass, has smaller biceps and shoulders then his wife and has homosexual tendencies, is considered the perfect man by a certain crowd.

LOL....yes, I did! I've decided since you guys have a “rule” that women's pictures must be posted to determine their guilt, I'm making a rule that all lunatic lefty journalism must elude to HT being the real author and must contain a picture of HT - even after she dies. BTW, I'm a dudette ; )

Obama would make a perfect late night talk show host. Don’t look over your shoulder, Mr. Fallon.

If you’re truly hip, no one can take it away from you. Miles Davis was hip and all the Dana Perino snarks in the world wouldn’t have been able to change that one iota. Barack Hussein Obama? ‘Nuff said.

One of these things is not like the others.
One of these things is not quite the same.

Beautiful! We need to make that a poster!
