Barack Obama is TIRED of your motherfucking SHIT - so it seems that Obama's book Dreams from my Father recounts some stories of his friend Ray. And it seems that Ray was partial to the black slang. And it seems that the book has an audiobook version. And it seems that Obama narrated the Audiobook himself. And so it has come to pass that someone was able to cut out audio segments of our 44th president saying “You know that guy ain’t shit. Sorry-ass motherfucker ain’t got nothing on me” and “You ain’t my bitch, nigga! Buy your own damn fries!” and many other great lines.
And that means that people will be recontextualizing this in ways that continue to be funny for a long, long, long long time. (The original source of this is Mike Miliard at The Phoenix, with more mp3s there -- but not the nice little autoplayer doohicky.)
