“Cool We Can Believe In”

Posted by Bossip Staff

Via The New Republic:

Just the other day Geraldine Ferraro was quoted as saying, “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position, and if he was a woman [of any color] he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.”

Never mind the fact that I agree with the folks at Bossip.com, that if Obama were white, the Democratic nomination would be over–and that if Hillary were black, she’d be Star Jones, and that if she were a black male, she’d be mayor of Detroit–it’s obvious that Obama’s candidacy isn’t solely a matter of timing. His political narrative is not the fictional happenstance that placed Douglass Dilman into the Oval Office in Irving Wallace’s The Man and cast Chris Rock into the Blockbuster bargain bin in Head of State. Barack has more going for him than good timing, the proper complexion, and the appearance of marital fidelity. He’s got cool, and cool is the ultimate transcendent.

YES WE CAN!!!
