Title: Hipster Cred
Post by: Jaguar on January 10, 2009, 04:16:14 pm
He's not even sworn in yet and he's already racking up hipster cred.

How? (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090110/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_chili)

Be careful what you wish for or, in this case, you will be walking to SXSW from Kansas City with no luggage...barefoot!

Hipsters go to Ben's late night.  Interesting call going there sober.  What's ignored in the story is that he's been a Senator for 4 years.  Why is this his first trip to Ben's??

BUSTED!!!  :D

So, in reality, the true hipster is Adrian Fenty.

Senators are tourists while presidents are residents. Obama was just waiting....

to his credit, he walked into ben's unsure of what to order, listened to advisors in line (including Fenty), and settled on the correct answer - chili half smoke.  that shows a good willingness to listen to experts and then make good decisions.  some will argue he should have ordered cheese fries as well, but you can't blame him for taking a prudent, moderate approach - especially considering the time of day.

some will have read exactly that in the article...

He and Fenty ordered a house specialty, a Chili Half-Smoke ? a quarter-pound half pork and beef smoked sausage on a steamed bun with mustard, onions and chili sauce ? along with a big helping of some cheese fries.

obama's hipster cred remains intact.  upcoming appearance: the antony & the johnsons gig at 6th & I.

exactly... i love ben's, and i don't really know what's hip, but i know ben's is pretty far from it

more importantly, obama pushed on Georgetown v. Maryland basketball (3:07 on the youtube clip) ... Obama's brother-in-law (oregon state coach Craig Robinson) and gtown's coach (JTIII) are both part of the tight-knit princeton hoops alum community and are close, so i'd expect Obama to be pretty strongly in the Georgetown camp

Somehow I think we have differing definitons of the word "hip"

Good point. In nursing homes, they sometimes make certain oldsters wear a padded garment under their clothes called 'hipsters'. I kid you not! Makes these people look like they are wearing super padded diapers. Of course, some of them are wearing hipsters and diapers.

On another note, I saw on the BBC website that they were reporting about the O man visiting Ben's. I don't know if it's actually hip but it sure appears to be trendy.
