BARACK OBAMA READS

Dreams For My Father -- audio clips from the Hugh Hewitt show.  FCC regulations required Hugh to bleep out a number of words -- Hugh seems to have selected these clips for the  entertainment value of listening to a Presidential candidate swear.  It would have been more entertaining -- and more authentic I'm sure -- to have clips of Navy man John McCain swearing, perhaps at a Reagan conservative.

The thing to note in these clips is Obama's genuine talent for taking on the persona of other people -- this goes beyond good acting into something more like ventriloquism.

And be aware that the character Ray is a stand in for the views of Obama himself, according to Obama's childhood friend.
