Barack Obama is tired of your motherfuckin' shit.
If you’ve ever read President Obama’s Dreams From My Father, good for you. I couldn’t get past the foreword.

I wish I had. Because today I discovered that there’s a fairly juicy little subplot in the book, involving one of Obama’s high school friends.

Ray, a fellow classmate of Obama’s, was also bi-racial, and also trying to define himself. But what set him apart was his colorful manner of self-expression. Ray cursed like a motherfucker.

This would all be snickerworthy enough, but it turns out that Obama actually read the audiobook version of Dreams From My Father.

And that means he read Ray’s quotes.

And that means you’re about to hear the President of United States using language that would finish Cheney off once and for all.

1. Saw this elsewhere and thought--why did I not know of this resource?
I heard a rumor that some brave folk have put these utterances in their ringtones...

5. Time for me to re-read the book and pick out a quote for my cell.
Though I'll probably go with a non-cursing one. ;)

13. It's like Bill Cosby's "My Brother Russell, Whom I Slept With" LP.
Hopefully even they realize that this is too silly to be a weapon.

I find it as funny as it is endearing, and want to use the "Fries" line when autosigs return :)

19. Now I HAVE to get the whole audio version of the book!
Edited on Wed Feb-11-09 11:57 AM by FirstLight
I wanna hear the context, but DAYUM that shit's funny!

You know, behind closed doors, esp. with Rahm Emmanuel I bet he has a few choice words for the Rethugs...not to mention Congress in general:

"Get over your stupid shit, and MOVE that Motherfuckin bill!"

23. There is NO excuse for EVERY member of this board to not have it....
.... in all seriousness, if we'd all read the book, or even took the lazy route and listened to it, there's be a WHOLE lost less confused people here. lol

... I have now listened to both audio books about five times now .... what can I say? His voice calms me as I drive home from work ..... anyway ... yeah, that part always skeeves me out .... I can swear with the best of them .... but not the great POTUS head ..... probably the same reason I can't change closes when he's on the TV. lol

I'm still not clear why this was rejected as the official portrait. :)

35. This thing about the fries reminds of a movie made quite a few years ago that starred
Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez working as garbage men.

Their supervisor was an older African-American dude.

There's a scene where all 3 were sitting in a diner booth for lunch, and the waitress brought over a big plate of fries for the supervisor.

I think Emilio's character pilfered a fry, and got his hand slapped.

The supervisor said, "Kid, there are 3 things you just do not do. One of them is touching a man's fries! You do that again and you'll wake up in the hospital!"

:D

28. That audiobook's not exactly a secret, and 4 years old.
Edited on Wed Feb-11-09 01:59 PM by Larry in KC
I'm a little surprised that we didn't hear more about it during the election... along about Rev. Wright time, for instance. It would have far less negative impact now than it might have then, with the country getting to know him better and better as the intelligent, mature and reasonable person he is. It does make you wonder why exactly political enemies shied away from it then... when there's such a wide range of opponents, you'd think someone would have tried it.

Personally, I loved the book, and it's great to be able to get as far into our new president's head as that book lets you. It seems obvious that he actually wrote it himself, which is of course rare among politicians, and it's very personal, at times intensely so.

I have to disagree with the poster who said that listening to the audio is the "lazy" way, because with something so personal, hearing his own voice and his own inflections adds a great deal to what's on the page (don't get me wrong--I love to read, and most books are far better on the page. This sort of personal memoir is an exception).

Don't you love the fact that our president is BOTH an intelligent, mentally healthy person AND clearly a real person?

38. And for the 80 bagillionth time let me repeat....
... EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET THE AUDIOBOOK!!!!!

reason number 80 bagillion: in addition to the "Ray" impersonations described above .... he does a whole spectrum of voices, everything from a random British guy to his Kenyan Aunt Zeituni. There's even his impression of his GRANDFATHER doing an impression of his father. It's good stuff.

He even doesn't a decent W ... but I think it's in "Audacity" (this would be the famous hand sanitizer encounter of 2005.)
