George Will: Obama Went to Copenhagen to Speak About Himself By Noel Sheppard Created 2009-10-04 12:10
On Sunday, ABC's George Will uttered an inconvenient truth about Barack Obama that his adoring media have been ignoring since he first threw his hat into the presidential ring in February 2007: his rhetoric is filled with constant references to himself.
To prove the point on the most recent installment of "This Week," Will counted the number of times Mr. and Mrs. Obama used the words "I" and "me" during their speeches in Copenhagen Friday.
The numbers are shocking making it likely in Will's view that the word "vain" is going to eventually attach itself to Obama (video embedded below the fold with transcript):
What's alarming is whether it indicates a belief on the part of the President which is that there is no problem that will not melt before the sunshine of his charm. And this is evidence again that it's not so. The President and First Lady went to Copenhagen and gave little speeches about themselves. She, Mrs. Obama, used the first-person singular pronoun in some form or another, "I" or "me", sixteen, 34 times in sixteen paragraphs. He used it 23 times in thirteen paragraphs. It was all about them, and the danger is an adjective sooner or later attaches to presidents. Honest Abe, Tricky Dick Nixon. All kinds of adjectives. The danger to the President is that Vain is going to attach to him.
Precisely.
The only question is when will other Obama-loving media members begin to realize this?
This seems especially important given the press's complicity in helping Obama create his Cult of Personality [0].
....of course they behaved that way!...they’re full of themselves...Michelle has learned that in this country an educated black person can get white approval by giving a “how-I-triumphed-over-adversity” speech...that’s because so many liberal whites automatically assume a black person is a “victim”....apparently Europeans on the IOC weren’t moved to tears by her tale.
Obama is a rap star competing with his idols like Jay-Zee. Jay-Zee gets his self worth from how many CDs he sells while Obama measures his self worth by the polls. White idiots make the rap stars rich and same idiots got Obama elected
Dear Joe: if they were really social mores, they wouldn't require government "nudges". Is it Joe Stein, or Joe Stalin ?
This article is nothing more than testing the waters for dictatorship. Count me out, baby.
I doubt the 0bama’s are happy. She always has a miserable look on her face and he is just present.
:)
well I guess the obamites cared but the honest half of Chicago, the rest of us and the entire world didn’t care.
I wish someone on MSM would have poingted out Manchelle said that at age 20 she was sitting on her father’s lap watching the 84 Olympics
Right now it’s one or two “reporters” here and there (outside of Fox and talk radio) who are willing to step out of the “mmm mmm mmm Barak Hussein Obama” chorus line and actually do their friggin’ job... I wonder if other reporters might say to themselves, “you know, why do I have to continue playing the low-IQ fool... why can’t I be a real reporter to?”
And if that starts to happen... if that starts to snowball...
We got this Imbecile from the trillions spent educating Mediocrity and The greatness that could have helped Mankind got left behind because of the Government sponsored color code..
Anti-American's do not understand this idea is born out of men given the gift of free will by a creator, whether this is a being or their conscious, not some faux utopian gov't.
This is why liberalism all the way up to totalitary communism is so incredibly evil and selfish. This is why Obama talks about himself because not only is he spitefully arrogant, his thoughts are small minded garbage!
No, no, no. Please allow me to correct you:
“Barrack The Vain Obama, Ummm, Ummm, Ugh.”
his most significant accomplishment before running for the US Senate and then the presidency was writing two books--both of them autobiographiesAnd Michelle went to Princeton and got a degree in Herself.
Her thesis: "Princeton Educated Blacks and the Black Community."
And it was all about her.
That's what she studied.
Herself.
That's what she's an expert in.
Herself.
...
“how-I-triumphed-over-adversity”
A great many people in our country would be successful if the only criteria they were required to have to get into Yale or Harvard was to have skin.
Did Princeton have any fashion classes?
You’re so vain....I bet you think this world is about you.....
mmmm mmmm mmmm Barack Hussein Obama
Barrack The Vain ObamaThat's it.
You have got it exactly right, in this single phrase.
Now all we have to do is launch this... hope it catches on...

I'm with you - let's expand America's vocabulary - "Narcissist" is the word... "vain" is to limp...
Why do I have to wear this stupid flag pin? I hate it.
Excellent point...I heard this has been a problem once these affirmative action people get to college and they hit the real world. I'm for the type of AA that's in the NBA - you gotta produce no matter what your color.
