By now, we all know President Obama is actually a fist-bumping Muslim socialist. But there’s another side to the president, as Republican Utah Senator Orrin Hatch pointed out today. Obama, he said, has traded in his hardhat for a “hipster fedora.”
Hatch was speaking in Congress about energy policy, and accused Obama of favoring liberal elites over blue-collar workers. “President Obama has traded in the hard hat and lunch bucket category of the Democratic Party for the hipster fedora and a double skim latte,” he said. “The president is putting the preferred lifestyle policies of wealthy urbanites ahead of the needs of blue-collar and union workers and middle-class Americans.”
You gotta at least give the guy credit for attempting to inject a current cultural reference into a creaky, rusting conservative complaints.
