That's EXACTLY what I was thinking. His 'motherfucker' sounds downright wholesome next to any profanity uttered by Nixon.

Oh, c'mon, Morbs! Did you ever expect to hear a President of the U.S. utter the word 'motherfucker' like that?

Take a listen, Morbs. It's Obama reading aloud from his book about growing up, for a book-on-CD version. He doesn't seem able to make it sound nasty. The timbre of his voice is too gosh-darned good-natured.

― slugbaiting (rockapads), Thursday, 30 April 2009 19:43 (fourteen years ago) link
I've been having a hard time figuring out his flaws. Will we really know this early about policy flaws? All I can think of is superficial stuff. "Arrogance", his whole professorial speaking style which can be tedious to listen to sometimes.
― slugbaiting (rockapads), Thursday, 30 April 2009 19:44 (fourteen years ago) link
Sometimes you can see his political gears grinding his brain to a halt. His answer last night on torture and the Bush administration was totally incoherent because he didn't want to say outright that his predecessor had committed crimes, yet he wanted to signal that he understood that Bush did.

why is there any controversy at all about where the Guantanamo detainees should go? I can understand navigating the legal complexities regarding TRYING them (under what charges, with what evidence, etc.) but seriously - Reps/Senators are complaining about sending detainees to prisons in their states? What the fuck is wrong with their prisons that they can't hold violent criminals? Was federal prison not good enough for Timothy McVeigh? Or Manson? Or whoever? I don't get it. Our prisons already house people just as (if not more) dangerous than these guys (including that blind sheikh from the OG WTC bombing), why doesn't the Obama administration just point this out. It is really not that big a deal.

I cannot believe I live in a world massively threatened by environmental catastrophe, and my government is barely even talking about half-measures, let alone moving heaven and earth with fierce urgency to save the planet. And the oil guys aren’t even in the White House anymore.
I cannot believe I live in a world where the economy is imploding and the guy in charge of the country where the recession is rooted has hired agents of the very criminal crowd responsible for the problem to produce a solution, and that, shockingly, the ‘solution’ once again benefits wealthy elites while doing little for the rest of us.
I cannot believe that I live in a country with a crumbling healthcare system, and the solution being offered by the “change” candidate-now-president – to the extent we will see one at all – will forego the obvious model of universal coverage adopted by all other developed countries in the world, and will instead slap Scotch Tape on the train wreck of the existing for-profit healthcare disaster, in an attempt to hold it together a little longer.
I cannot believe that I live in a world where the Taliban is within spitting distance of capturing nuclear-armed Pakistan, and my government can’t even get serious enough about peace in the Middle East to show some real security guarantee carrots and foreign aid sticks to its client state in the region, forcing it to end an illegal and deeply antagonizing annexation masquerading as a forty year occupation.
I cannot believe I live in a country where individuals who knowingly broke the law and ruined the national reputation by torturing are exposed by the president, only for him to then turn around and deploy magical powers which supposedly allow him to exonerate them in advance.
This is Obama’s America? This is Obama’s America....
For a year now I’ve wondered what Obama would turn out to be – a Bill Clinton or an FDR. I think we have a pretty good answer at this point. Indeed, ironically, Obama now seems to be out-Clintoning Clinton. He not only has the very national crisis that Wild Bill craved, he’s got about six of them. But always the response seems to be incredibly tepid and conventional and, well, conservative – as the above examples show.
Even when it’s a slam-dunk policy choice, he is still the Cautious Kid to a fault....
The biggest irony may just be this: That Barack Obama’s instinct for the capillary could be the one thing that has the capability of reaching deep down into the toilet bowl, down through the pipes and into the sewer system, and dragging the shit-encrusted Republican Party back to the surface, miraculously offering it a magical elixir of renewed viability despite its own immensely successful attempt at party suicide.
