'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs...."
LOVE IT!!!!!!!

The debates unnerved both candidates. When he was preparing for the Democratic primary debates, Obama was recorded saying, "I don't consider this to be a good format for me, which makes me more cautious. I often find myself trapped by the questions and thinking to myself, 'You know, this is a stupid question, but let me ... answer it.' So when Brian Williams is asking me about what's a personal thing that you've done , and I say, you know, 'Well, I planted a bunch of trees.' And he says, 'I'm talking about personal.' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'."

1. I wish he would have actually said this in the debates
minus the cursing it would have been very refreshing.

2. Honestly, I can't imagine Obama using the F word
I guess he can, but it sure doesn't seem like him. And it seems even less like President Obama.

That's what the Greeks called ethos.

3. Oh yep, he cusses...read his autobiography! I have to say...
...call me crude, but I love the fact that he curses, makes him gritty and real! But that's just me, a shoddy upbringing :-)

4. Well, now that he's fucking President...
I doubt he'll fucking curse anymore.
