Interesting article. Obama may be "hip," but Pied Pipers can still lead a country to disaster. A man may be smooth as silk, and at the same time advocate the most pro-death (abortion) policy in United States history. Wouldn't it be great to see "hipness" associated with justice (rather than trashing one's predecessor), transparency, consistency (keeping one's word), bi-partisanship, school choice (see also here, here, and here), self-reliance, strong self-defense, human rights, and the celebration of life?
