Cool Story About Obama . . .
, , , playing Taboo with reporters. Makes him seem like a pretty cool guy. For instance:
He was then faced with having to define “revolution” without resorting to “French” or “American.” He dug back to his Ivy League education: “Thomas Jefferson called for it to happen every once in a while.” When this highbrow clue met with blank stares, he went middlebrow instead, offering that it was also the name of a Beatles song, which did the trick.(I think the reporter overdoes it a bit—the Jefferson quote seems like it would be common knowledge among moderately intelligent people.)
