AUDIO-- President Obama: "This @#$%!'s getting way too complicated for me." Yes, it's really him.

By GottaLaff

Strong language alert (Real Legal Alien, are you paying attention?):

If you don't want to hear President Obama roll out curse words that make Chris Rock's vocabulary look like that of a pre-school teacher, then skip this post. The president usually chooses his words so carefully, but not here, not in this post. Because they're not his words.

He's merely imitating an old school mate. I swear (pun intended):

In his bestselling autobiography, Dreams From My Father, President Obama introduces us to his high school friend, “Ray,” who, like him, is bi-racial. Who, also like him, is casting about to find his place in the world. But, who, unlike him, has a potty mouth that would make a sailor blush.

Best of all? When reading the audiobook version of his bio, Obama does impressions of Ray’s manner of speech. Swear words and all.
The article allows us to imagine what Obama might like to say if he were to talk super-duper, extra crunchy tough, and juxtaposes the audio below with lead-ins like:
Sure, it’s a complicated bill. But all these revisions and amendments and cuts and counterproposals and compromises? Ridiculous. Enough’s enough.

It’s time for the Prez to say it plain:

Go read, and listen to, the rest, in context, here. Meanwhile, I'll provide a few more bonus potty-mouthed little audio clips for those who are fascinated by words like these coming out of the mouth of a man who is otherwise so incredibly well-spoken. Make sure your kids are out of the room. Some of this is pretty strong stuff:
