He’s never comfortable with the troops. He has nothing in common with them. Hell, he has nothing in common with America....except thuggery and buggery on the South Side of Chicago.

He wont do it once,he is paranoin about criticism and he has heard it. The Best thing to do is shut up and not say anything beforehand and let him step in it then clobber him. Now he is forewarned and will make you look like fools

22? That’s a low figure. Especially in a speech already publicized as being between his and Bush’s accomplishments. That has to be worth another 100 or so, at least.

Actually I think it is going to be in the low numbers.

He received quite a bit of static for all the "I's" in his speech on Saturday. Even some of the main stream media commented on it.

How many "I"s? As many as he can.

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that they're superior to others and have little regard for other people's feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

Depends on the length of the speech. I’d say about 3 per minute. Okay, 25 minute speech? 75 times.

I am going to go with 4 times per minute - the boy king is beyond desperation for a 'win' that he can hold up for his rabid left before Nov 2. This is close as he is going to get to what the RATs will consider a 'win'

AND NO I do not believe he will give Bush credit for the surge.

Count for me, b/c I’m not going to watch.
