Hope and Change are simply not chic any longer.

Obama was so 4 years ago. They liked Obama before it was cool to like Obama. (Except they actually didn't)

Yes, 2006 vintage Obama. :D

Obama's team and the media really pulled off a marketing masterpiece to get this vote in the first place. Making some rich, Harvard educated, career politician, who voted for wars, the patriot act, and other un-progressive things into a hipster hero takes some serious mindfucking.

LOL, I'm still holding out hope for a movie - supposedly it is being filmed.

Those hipsters on are the dole - they will bow down to Obama when the time comes:
"Hipsters of Food Stamps" (http://www.salon.com/life/pinched/2010/03/15/hipsters_food_stamps_pinched)


Food policy experts and human resource administrators are quick to point out that the overwhelming majority of the record 38 million Americans now using food stamps are their traditional recipients: the working poor, the elderly and single parents on welfare. But they also note that recent changes made to the program as part of last year's stimulus package, which relaxed the restrictions on able-bodied adults without dependents to collect food stamps, have made some young singles around the country eligible for the first time.

...

And in cities that are magnets for 20- and 30-something creatives and young professionals, the kinds of food markets that specialize in delectables like artisanal bread, heirloom tomatoes and grass-fed beef have seen significant upticks in food stamp payments among their typical shoppers. At the Wedge, a market in the stylish Uptown neighborhood of Minneapolis; at New Seasons Market, a series of nine specialty stores in and around Portland, Ore.; and at Rainbow Grocery, a stalwart for food lovers in San Francisco's Mission District, food stamp purchases have doubled in the past year.

"The use has gone way up in the last six months," said Eric Wilcox, a cashier who has worked at Rainbow Grocery in San Francisco for 10 years. "We're seeing a lot more young people in their 20s purchasing organic food with food stamp cards. I wouldn't say it's limited to hipster people, but I'm certainly surprised to see them with cards."

I hated Obama before it was cool to hate Obama.

I hated Obama before it was cool to hate Obama.

I was calling Obama a neocon before it was cool to like Obama.

I said Ron Paul was going to win before he even won!

I thought it wasn't hip to vote.

Q: How did the hipster burn his mouth?
A: He was eating his pizza before it was cool.
