POTUS with a potty-mouth?

Via GalleyCat, this wonderful, NSFW article, talking about Obama's outtakes while recording his autobiography, Dreams From My Father.

"Best of all? When reading the audiobook version of his bio, Obama does impressions of Ray’s manner of speech. Swear words and all. It’s f**king awesome. And it’s a way of talking we probably won’t be hearing from him now that he’s POTUS."

I say, a little more swearing in the White House, please. The man can put together a lovely sentence, complete with a beginning, an end, and a point. Why assume his intemperate language would be any less enthralling?

It's not as though he's going to win any followers among the tight-arsed and the mealy-mouthed, anyway, and maybe "will you m***********s shut up, sit down, and listen to what a POTUS is telling you?" will get through some GOP heads....


Ah well. A citizen can dream....

Beef: it's what's for yum.

My mother made the original recipe last week, and I loved it so much I needed to try it myself. But, since this is me and I apparently cannot follow even the best recipe exactly-as-written...
