Hipster-in-Chief

“I knew about Jeremy before you did, or everybody else did,” said the culturally-aware leader of the free world, who is apparently on a first name basis with the New York Knicks’s star point guard, “because Arne Duncan, my secretary of education, was captain of the Harvard tea, I’ve been on the Jeremy Lin bandwagon for a while.”
