No he's not. He's just doing the stuff everyone else wanted to do, but their preceding media image did not allow it (due in part to his disclosure and admissions in his books). ie, he can get away with it.

Grover Cleveland was a pimp with the ladies

He certainly was - and on non-consecutive occasions to boot.

Uh, Bill Clinton wasn't?

Jack Kennedy just called.
He says Fark You.

I know it's nice to finally have a president that isn't embarrassing, but the guy is a dork.

T.R. would love to chat with you, but he's got to break three horses this morning and drop a lion from 200 yards with a single shot. Then it's off to Havana, baby.

John Adams got'em all beat.

I don't care if he's hip or nerdy. Just do a good farking job, please.

Do not taunt Teddy's awesomeness with the ridiculous claim he had to use a firearm.

I wouldn't call him hip. He's a policy/legal nerd. That's not to say he doesn't have a good sense of humor, but not hip.

What makes me think I am so funky?

/RIP Birdman

Yea, he's about as hip as this guy

It's so hip that school kids in Albany, N.Y., coined a term for it: "Baracking." And it doesn't stop there. Those in the know at Albany High greet each other by saying: "What's up, my Obama?" and they respond to a sneeze with "Barack you." Misbehavior is peer-corrected with the admonition, "Barack's in the White House," which translates, "Show some respect."

The kid who told you this is laughing his ass off that you actually believed him.

I would just like to echo the view that Teddy Rosevelt is the most AWESOME President of all time.

Dude was a cowboy, a cavalry-man, took a bullet in the chest and STILL continued his speech.

Take that, Barack Von Bam-Bam.

Oh, those negroes and their ebonics.

"Hip" is a relative term. Compared to the pasty white men who've never done a real days work in their life who usually run the show, I guess he's hip. Compared to most people under the age of 30, not hip.

Hilariously this. Wasn't there a (very, very) old Doonesbury plot when they were still in Walden, and Zonker was taking Roland Hedley around campus and completely making up things about student life just to fark with him?

/Yes, I realize the strip was probably printed before I was born.

Chester Arthur was a party animal.

/Grover Cleveland was one of our greatest presidents.

Didn't he make a reference to 'All you base are belong to us' at one point?

The alternative is John McCain, the nation's first 'replaced hip' president.

He also has to get shot in the chest and give a speech before going to the hospital (good 'shop opportunity -- TR as Terminator).

Nice.

Another hip President...


So cool, you could store meat in him for a month.
So hip, he trouble seeing over his pelvis.

One froody dude.

I thought that was the 'hipster' capital. Basically, when all of the emo/goth/punk/vampyr kiddies hit college they start wearing black band shirts instead of black weirdo fishnets and all morph into a singular 'screw the world but I enjoy my rich parents money' entity.

Even though he's not particularly badass, I wouldn't have liked to get in a fight with Ford.

Or Eisenhower, for that matter.

He is a bit of a geek. An excellent President so far, not bad-looking, but a geek. If playing basketball makes you cool, then rural Indiana is the world capital of hipness. Forget clubbing in New York, the paps will be surrounding the Hilltop Tavern in Morocco, Indiana.

ilambiquated: What about Andy Jackson?

This (to Andrew Jackson).

When the 1828 election rolled around, a lot of people were terrified when they heard Andrew "Old Hickory" Jackson was running. If you're wondering how a guy we're calling a bad ass got such a lame nickname, it's because he used to carry a hickory cane around and beat people senseless with it, and if you're wondering why he did that, it's because he was a farking lunatic.

Former Democratic Senator and Secretary of the Treasurey Albert Gallatin feared a Jackson presidency because of his "habitual disregard of laws and constitutional provisions." Or in other words, the man was a loose canon--17th Century Washigton's answer to Martin Riggs. Sure, he probably didn't have an irate black lieutenant to answer to, or a weary partner who was too old for this shiat, but he most certainly had a death wish.

How do we know? Well, despite everyone's best efforts, Jackson was elected to the top office, and when he wasn't busy shaping the Presidency as we know it today, you could find him out back dueling. In case you haven't been to the 18th century lately, this unmanly sounding activity actually involves standing across from an armed man and shooting at him while he in turn shoots at you. The number of duels that Jackson took part in varies depending on what source you consult; some say 13, while others rank the number somewhere in the 100's, both of which are entirely too many times for a reasonable human being to stand in front of someone who is trying to kill them with a loaded gun.

On one occasion, he challenged a man named Charles Dickinson to a duel, (the reason behind it wasn't important, not to us and certainly not to Jackson), and Jackson was even kind enough to give Dickinson the first shot. We're gonna go ahead and repeat that: In a duel with pistols, Jackson politely volunteers to be shot at first. Dickinson happily obliged and shot Jackson, who proceeded to shake it off like it was a bee sting. When Jackson returned the favor, Dickinson was not so lucky, and that's why his face isn't on the twenty. The bullet, by the by, remained in Jackson's body for 19 years because, we assume, Jackson knew that time spent removing the bullets would just fall under the general category of "time not dueling," Jackson's least favorite category.

Greatest Display of Badassedry:
Andrew Jackson was the first president on whom an assassination attempt was made. A man named Richard Lawrence approached Jackson with two pistols both of which, for some reason, misfired. With the possibility of an assassination taken off the table, Jackson proceeded to beat Lawrence near death with his cane until Jackson's aides pulled him off the assassin.

The guns were inspected afterwards and it was discovered that they were in perfect working order, leading some historians to believe that it was an odds-defying "miracle" that Jackson survived, while we're pretty sure that the bullets, like everyone else, were simply scared of Jackson.

Most Badass Quote:
"I have only two regrets: I didn't shoot Henry Clay and I didn't hang John C. Calhoun."

That's right. In a life rich with murdering people for little-to-no reason, Jackson's only regret was that he didn't kill quite enough people. People like Calhoun who, it should be noted, was Jackson's vice president.

Cracked article. (pops)

Well, until he's snorted coke off a whores ass, that title will still belong to W jr. II

During his first 100 days as president of the United States, Barack Obama revealed how different he is from all the white men who preceded him in the Oval Office,

And it's not even on Wonkette.

JFK dropped acid in the White House and nailed Marilyn Monroe. That's a perma-win as far as hipness goes.

Covered this topic months ago.

JerseyTim: I know it's nice to finally have a president that isn't embarrassing, but the guy is a dork.

Bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia and running around telling the world it's great and the United States is terrible, getting friendly with our enemies... No sir, none of these things are embarrassing to watch.

This is of course when somebody isn't telling us what Obama meant to say when he isn't just giving a prepared speech.
