One “I, me, mine” per 35 seconds. Depends on length of speech.
Probably a lot. I bet he uses the phrases, “inherited this problem (economy)” and “previous administration” at least three times.
Enough that it wouldn’t qualify so much as a drinking game as much as a Chugging contest! LOL...(Chug-a Lug..Chug-a Lug makes you want to holler hidey ho)
36 times.
All through the speech, I me mine I me mine I me mine....

Twice/min.
N times, where N is a very large number.
57!
Pelosi looks like she is wetting her pants. Causes tingle down the leg too.
43
Don’t forget the countless errrs and uuummms
“Let me be clear, obstructionist tea party republicans in congress are the reason the economy fails to grow. I propose a trillion in new spending..”
he keeps saying:
"Let me be Clear"
I predict an average rate, over his entire campaign speech, of one "I, me, mine" per 25 seconds.
Also, I predict one "let me be clear" (or derivative) per minute.
All I know is, if you make a drinking game out of it you’re going to have one hell of a buzz.
I’m getting my list together for the Obama Speech Drinking Game:
“our crumbling infrastructure”
“green jobs”
“get America back to work”
“invest in our future”
“put partisanship aside”
“I’m asking you to join me”
“I believe we can build a better America”
“9/11”
“ten years ago”
“tough times”
“but we are tougher”
“Some are saying”
“the wealthiest among us”
“We are a resilient people”
“From (somewhere) to (somewhere) and to the (something) (somewhere)”
“Get this economy moving”
“for all of us”
“Our children are our future”
“I remember my grandma Toot always saying. . . .”
“The (occupation) in (city), the (occupation) in (city), and the (adjective) (occupation) (phrase) in (city). . . .” For example: “We need to . . . blah blah blah . . . for the bricklayer in Boston, the auto worker in Detroit, and the struggling single mother going to night school and raising her kids in Chicago. . . .”
And, of course, the standard “Let me be clear,” “Make no mistake,” and “As I’ve said before.”
(One word you will NOT hear: “stimulus.” Not good politically.)
“bad luck” “Mother Nature”
