Barack Obama is tired of your motherfucking shit

If you’ve ever read President Obama’s Dreams for 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 For 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. You ain't my bitch

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I'd like to be a fly on the wall, after he and rahm throw a few back.

[ChoralScholar]

4. That's aweseome....

one wonders how many times he has used the term "ignorant motherfuckers" in private when referring to house and senate republicans.

[Still Sensible]

30. That's probably his ringtone when republicans call n/t

[whathehell]

21. Just a note:...That was "Ray" and they were both teenagers at the time.

As an adult with two daughters, Obama has said repeatedly that he doesn't like the mysogyny in hip-hop.

[Muttocracy]

2. pretty hysterical, even if he's quoting others - I've never had a fancy ringtone

on my phone before, but might have to figure out one of those :)

[ferrous wheel]

3. I really love DU. where else could one click up a forum and find Motherfucking Shit upfront?

Nice.
:D

5. I think people who swear are sexy.

6. Holy Fucking Shit

The dance remix is going to be EPIC. :wow:

34. ROFLOL - would someone please hurry up and get on that??

[Idealism]

7. "Buy ya own damn fries, Congress"

Book-motherfucking-marked

8. Excuse Barack while he whips this out...

9. FYI - “There are white folks, and then there are ignorant motherfuckers like you.” isn't him being

Ray.

This was what Obama said to his basketball coach after the coach called the players on another team the n word. Obama objected. The coach responded that there are black folks and then there are n word - paraphrasing. Obama responded that - “There are white folks, and then there are ignorant motherfuckers like you.”

10. does anyone believe this is for real??

i don't; i think it's a hoax, with slightly racist undertones too.


freepers would be happy to get a hold of this one, imo.

[ColbertWatcher]

12. It's absolutely a hoax!

There are several reasons why I believe it is a hoax:

#1. the timing is suspicious: it's being said at the end of the week and when Congress is debating an important bill

#2. it plays into the fears that "the black man is angry!"

The first reason works to benefit the party controlling the media: the GOP. The second reason is the complete opposite of what we already know to be true.

So, the hope is that the GOP-controlled media can distract people with it when we should be putting pressure on our Congresscritters to pass the fucking JOBS BILL! http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4991250&mesg_id=4991250

13. She's a voice actor.

Voice actor April Winchell offers a collection of phone pranks, parodies, celebrity covers, bloopers, outtakes and sundry audio and video clips featuring: ...google

This is the fake radio show of Internet.

arggg .. Please put in the Louge!

[inna]

14. "she"??

wow, i guess she is a talented actor, but.... i think she should've made some sort of disclaimer;

many people will take her hoax seriously (and many have, judging by most comments in this thread).


(not as if i don't have a sense of humor or anything.... it just seems to be slightly disrepectful and very likely politically targeted.)

[Why Syzygy]

15. I haven't heard the clip. Her site is down. nt

[ColbertWatcher]

16. "This is the fake radio show of Internet." Oh good. So it's not a hoax. n/t

[Political Heretic]

36. It's not a hoax dork.

It's him reading from his book... quoting someone else.

Sheesh.

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

23. um, yes they are real. theyre from the audiobook of his first book. nt

[inna]

29. are they really? nt

[calimary]

11. Barack Obama isn't the only one who's tired of your motherfucking shit.

That goes for you, DICK, and the rest of the whores you rode in on. And that goes for YOU, wrong-wing media and republi-CONS everywhere, who drove him and his arrogant little semi-literate, twisted, self-involved, phony-cowboy sidekick.

[Hekate]

17. I listened to the audiobook & don't recall the scene that way. You can get a copy from your library

What I mean is, I heard Obama recreating a scene with two young men trying out bad language--but frankly, nothing I haven't read here at DU over and over and over and over.

Somehow I don't think this is the shock of the century. If April Winchell had managed to read past the foreword, she would know that. And she would know a heck of a lot more if she managed to read it all the way to the end.

18. They've disconnected all the poor peoples' phone lines. They can't call the White House, or

PIGlickiCON senators.

[rcrush]

19. My new ringtone!

There are white folks and there are ignorant motherfuckers like you.

[Poll_Blind]

20. Ha! DUDE. Ok, you WIN the Internet! That....is...awesome!

PB

[sohndrsmith]

22. Don't forget the muddle-duckin' GRAMMY he won for this audio book, too...

All the sweeter, that.

Take that, Andy Card. Take your mock offense at the lack of respect for the Oval Office... go take your jacket and tie and dress up a few more criminals who happened to DESTROY the integrity of the Oval Office with historically massive disrespect... all while looking ceremoniously stately and formally dressed.

Brings to mind one old adage... about pigs and cosmetics... only there is nothing funny or comical about these jacket wearing, tie requiring, flag pin boasting monsters...

[Fly by night]

24. And I'm tired of internet punk-asses typing like convicts talk

Believe me, I know.

Grow up, would ya'.

[Texasgal]

31. Geez...would you shut up already?

If you don't like it don't read it!

Good GAWD!

[Fly by night]

32. I've been here over four years and this is the first time DU has sounded like cell block 4.

I'm glad not to be there anymore. I hope all this m-f verbal diarrhea will blow on through the DU system. Already today, it looks like the adults are back on-line, at least based on the "Greatest" page. Glad to see it.

[Political Heretic]

37. Hey who wants to be a judgemental asshole?

Raise their hands? :hi:

[Fly by night]

38. Is that your hand that's raised ...

... or are you just happy to see me?

[Fly by night]

39. I'm not trying to be judgemental (sic) either.

Just tired of all the m-f nonsense.
It does remind me of being locked up.
Didn't care for it there and I certainly don't care for it here.

[stuntcat]

25. omg omg

:rofl: I'm putting this on my iThing :rofl:

[Why Syzygy]

26. How do you make one into a ring tone? nt (Sprint)

[stuntcat]

27. someone else in this thread knows maybe! I can just..

I can just put the things on my ipod to play at random between my songs.. and make me laugh :rofl:

[fadedrose]

28. Interesting - R

[inna]

33. ok, my bad. this is for real. (and it's pretty funny, too; 'k?)

"I have listened to Barack's audio version of the book, Dreams From My Father, read by himself, and knew these clips would make good fodder sooner or later. The fact is, these are actual quotes, his voice, from the book he wrote in 1996, long before he ran for the Senate. They are funny when standing alone, out of context, and that is the point. What, people don't think the author should be quoting friends from his youth in his own memoir? Or that people can't have fun with them when they are out there? That we have now elected that author to the presidency is part of this amazing event. These quotes are real, they are true to his life, and we are in a new era. Grow up, enjoy the ride, have a laugh. And buy your own damn fries."
