Maureen Dowd on Senator Obama:

There’s no doubt the cat is cool. It’s easy to imagine the wild reception many parts of the world would give a President Obama as he loped down the stairs of Air Force One in his aviator glasses, the chic and chiseled Michelle on his arm. The imagery of the 2008 race is all about cool and hot.

It’s all part of that “re-branding of America” thing that Barbara Ehrenreich said was coming. Wouldn’t it be cool if America was, like, a fashion magazine or America’s Next Top Model or whatever? Then, like, all the problems would go away, because there’d be like change and everything.

Question: how cool is too cool? If the Senator flips his opponent the bird, is that the coolest presidential gesture yet — or is it something else entirely?
