Obama's presidency heralds a plethora of firsts. He is the first African-American President the U.S. has ever elected. Obama's campaign team was first to realize the change in voter consumerism and has, therefore, influenced a change in campaigning strategy for the future. As President, Obama has first to alleviate the economic struggles that grip the country... And yet, CNN reports and comments on how Obama is the first "cool" President in the White House.
They comment on his fashion, his musical taste in rap, his shades and his basketball skills... But is that really important to even focus on at this point? CNN should stop advertising Obama's "youthful" marketable appeal and focus on covering Obama's first mandates as President. We all know that Barack Obama has more popularity points than McCain or Bush, but we don't need a couple of CNN commentating heads who claim to be 'fashion stylists' to talk about Obama's newest fashion trend or faux-pas.
