Sometimes You Have To Push The Seriousness Away. Seriously.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fellow blogger April Winchell posted this little tidbit a few days back:<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever read President Obama\u2019s Dreams From My Father<\/em>, good for you. I couldn\u2019t get past the foreword.<\/p>\n

I wish I had. Because today I discovered that there\u2019s a fairly juicy little subplot in the book, involving one of Obama\u2019s high school friends.<\/p>\n

Ray, a fellow classmate of Obama\u2019s, 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.<\/p>\n

This would all be snickerworthy enough, but it turns out that Obama actually read the audiobook version of Dreams From My Father<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And that means he read Ray\u2019s quotes.<\/p>\n

And that means you\u2019re about to hear the President of United States using language that would finish Cheney off once and for all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
