From April Winchell, some very brief excerpts from the audio book of Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father, read by the author.

About Curzon
Lord George Nathaniel Curzon (1859 - 1925) entered the British House of Commons as a Conservative MP in 1886, where he served as undersecretary of India and Foreign Affairs. He was appointed Viceroy of India at the turn of the 20th century where he delineated the North West Frontier Province,
ordered a military expedition to Tibet, and unsuccessfully tried to partition the province of Bengal during his six-year tenure. Curzon served as Leader of the House of Lords in Prime Minister Lloyd George's War Cabinet and became Foreign Secretary in January 1919, where his most famous act was
the drawing of the Curzon Line between a new Polish state and Russia. His publications include
Russia in Central Asia (1889) and
Persia and the Persian Question (1892).
In real life, "Curzon" is a US citizen from the East Coast who has been a financial analyst, freelance translator, and university professor; he is currently on assignment in Tokyo.
I find it amazing that this never made it around during the campaign. It would have really taken off. I guess the only people who read his book were his supporters.
(of course, as the link makes clear, Obama is just quoting the speech of another character in these clips, not speaking for himself)
Thank God this didn’t make the rounds during the election. The ‘ignorant motherfuckers’ that make up a healthy slice of the American electorate already had enough bullshit nonsense to confuse them; both parties were guilty.
