Barack Obama So Hip He's Inspired New Slang: Politico (VIDEO)

Barack Obama is famous for keeping his cool under mounting national stress, and doing cool things like drinking beer and listening to Jay-Z. But according to Politico, the president has gained so much street cred that high school kids have built a slang based on his name.

It's so hip that school kids in Albany, N.Y., coined a term for it: "Baracking." And it doesn't stop there. Those in the know at Albany High greet each other by saying: "What's up, my Obama?" and they respond to a sneeze with "Barack you." Misbehavior is peer-corrected with the admonition, "Barack's in the White House," which translates, "Show some respect."

While other president had to try too hard to be cool, Politico writes that Obama "uses his hipster personality as a weapon. His enormous popularity is a bludgeon that demands political respect, if not support."
