Do you think this post about Obama Cussing will cause any problems?
http://www.aprilwinchell.com/2009/02/05/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."

3. His audio-book was out there during the entire campaign. This isn't some revelation.
No, it isn't going to cause any problems.

4. I've been known to cuss up a blue streak myself.
While Obama isn't my favorite politcian, and certainly wasn't my choice in the primaries, I can't really work up too much concern about a few obscenities. Since George W. was known to let loose from time to time as well, I doubt that many Republicans will care either.

7. Not any more than his half hour campaign ad hurt him
:rofl:

Or that he didn't make it to that hospital in Germany. Or called Sarah Phalin' a pig. Or wouldn't suspend his campaign to work on the economy. Or missed a couple of days campaining to go see his grandmother. All of those things and may others were of great concern at one time.

Didn't Nixon curse like a sailor, and on tape? I've always heard LBJ cursed a lot, too.

9. And your fucking point is......
...only motherfuckers like Republicants, who given an opportunity will fuck mothers, give a flying fuck about their lily-white, virgin ears.

Fuck 'em if they can't take a fucking joke.
