POTUS with a potty-mouth?

[lagilman]

Via GalleyCat, this wonderful, NSFW article, talking about Obama's outtakes while recording his autobiography, Dreams From My Father.

"Best of all? When reading the audiobook version of his bio, Obama does impressions of Ray’s manner of speech. Swear words and all. It’s f**king awesome. And it’s a way of talking we probably won’t be hearing from him now that he’s POTUS."

I say, a little more swearing in the White House, please. The man can put together a lovely sentence, complete with a beginning, an end, and a point. Why assume his intemperate language would be any less enthralling?

It's not as though he's going to win any followers among the tight-arsed and the mealy-mouthed, anyway, and maybe "will you m***********s shut up, sit down, and listen to what a POTUS is telling you?" will get through some GOP heads....


Ah well. A citizen can dream....

I think "You ain't my bitch..." would cause more than a few jaws to drop.

What part of "listen" would you think they understand? :)

[lagilman]

I don't think they'd get past "shut up," actually. But shhh, it's my daydream, damn it.

"Well, if you're not interested in doing the people's business, then fuck all y'all. As Tony Soprano once said, I don't have time to suck your dicks right now."
Somebody would still claim he was fuzzy and unfocused.

I'm just afraid someone'll take the "This sh*t is getting way too complicated for me" and try to pass it off as a current quote. I'm half surprised Limbaugh hasn't already.

if we spend our time worrying about what new hellish stupidity Limbaugh et al are going to fart next....

I'm stunned anyone is still listening to Limbaugh, after his drug bust. But now I'm hearing some call him the leader of the Republican Party. I hope someone (not Palin) steps up during the next eight years and starts talking sense.

I've read "Dreams From My Father." It's one of the better bits of writing I've read in recent years. Such a relief to have someone literate in the White House, after eight years of that f**cking redneck George W. "Nookoolur" Bush.
