I came across Stranger in a bus station lobby, in paperback. Leafing through it, I noticed a few ... interesting things.

Ah, this is science fiction, then, I said to myself.

I had to have it.

.

This from my writing ...

Every muscle, every bone, every orifice and inch of his body was surrendered to her. His mind fell to her also. Reluctantly, he had to agree -- She owned him totally and completely. Struggle was meaningless. Motion was impossible. He was a lozenge, dissolving and being absorbed on a thousand tongues.

Grok?

Of our President, Obama, Barack
There is much that he does I don’t grok
Hates to sanction Iran
But has no basic plan
His excuses are clearly a crock

Heinlein has been my favorite scifi writer since I started reading scifi as a kid-his novels were a part of what has made me an unrepentant rebel for life...

Obama is just unable to grok-
Others are merely his thralls
When asked about someone else
He mostly stammers and stalls

Even news of a brutal murder
Barely puts him off stride-
It is always all about him
No matter that someone died

After some lip service, Obama
Returns to the topic most dear-
Though someone was burned alive,
Obamacare is what you’ll hear...

I arrived home rained out of work, turned on the news and saw that Obama had made it all about him when he was told that Jordanian pilot had been murdered-probably because he had his scripted little commercial for healthcare going on and he was interrupted to do his JOB-I don’t remember being this disgusted with a pres since Nixon-not even Clinton...

Just out of curiosity-did you ever read Heinlein’s Farnham’s Freehold? I first read it in my mid-teens and have read it several times since. It is like some parallel universe version of what goes on now-just picture Al Sharpton as the slutmaster character in the book-Memtok, I think-or Obama as the supposedly benevolent king...
