In becoming Obama Cool
The dictionary defines cool as fashionable and attractive at the time; often skilled or socially adept.
Marlon Brando, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy, and Princess Diana amongst others became icons and defined the word cool for their generations.
Will we be talking about another defination of cool as in Obama cool?
Whether he intended defining Obama Cool or not, David Brooks in his New York Times column used the terms:
organized unconscious
reassuring and self-composed
calm, appreciative and didactic
Analytical
So perhaps we will be striving towards that outward coolness that the US presidential candidate has shown over the past year or so?
To be just average cool may no longer be good enough; to be Obama Cool might just become the new measure of a man and woman.
