Not counting instances when he quoted a letter from a citizen or cited dialogue from a movie, President Barack Obama used the first person singular--including the pronouns "I" and "me" and the adjective "my"--199 times in a speech he delivered Thursday vowing to use unilateral executive action to achieve his policy goals that Congress would not enact through the normal, constitutional legislative process.
“It is lonely, me just doing stuff,” Obama said at the speech in Austin, Texas, according to the official transcript and video posted on the White House website.

Oh, Lord, it’s hard to be humble

Others, left unfinished, but partly matured, will recur to your attention without needing a renewal of notice from me. The purpose of this communication will be to present to your view the general aspect of our public affairs at this moment and the measures which have been taken to carry into effect the intentions of the legislature as signified by the laws then and heretofore enacted.
Wow, they sound almost identical. /sarc
May the Lord call this maggot home soon.
Might I also add "illegal?"
"Sir Humphrey: The identity of the official whose alleged responsibility for this hypothetical oversight that has been the subject of recent discussion is not shrouded in quite such impenetrable obscurity as certain previous disclosures may have led you to assume; but not to put too fine a point on it, the individual in question is, it may surprise you to learn, one whom your present interlocutor is in the habit of defining by means of the perpendicular pronoun.
Hacker: I beg your pardon?
Sir Humphrey: It was... I. "
It seems that Obama is overly fond of the perpendicular pronoun.
that smiling women on the left looks like my dopey leftist Obama loving sister.
““I’m just telling the truth now,” Obama told the crowd. “I don’t have to run for office again, so I can just let her rip.”
Translation: “I’ve been lying the whole time”.
““It is lonely, me just doing stuff,” Obama said ———”
