Politico: Pop culture expert says Obama has lost his "cool" factor

Elayne Rapping, professor emeritus of American studies, is quoted in an article on Politico about President Barack Obama's loss of "coolness." "The persona that Obama likes is when everyone sees him as this very hip guy shooting hoops and all that," she said. "Now he's playing golf with John Boehner, which is about the most uncool thing there is." The article also appeared in the Seattle Post Intelligencer.
