Not that we needed proof, but Barack Obama showed last night that even at 63 he remains the coolest US president out there. He rapped a portion of Eminem’s Lose Yourself at a rally in Detroit, and produced a viral moment that for 99.9% of politicians would be knuckle-clenchingly embarrassing, but which, coming from him, sounded naturally funny, and yes, kinda cool.
He came on after Eminem himself, who told the crowd that he was backing Kamala Harris. “It’s important to use your voice,” he said. “I’m encouraging everyone to get out and vote, please … I don’t think anyone wants an America where people are worried about retribution of what people will do if you make your opinion known.
