I, Barack: Obama References Himself Twelve Times in Latest Fund-raising Email
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/17/2014 7:45:35 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

But enough about me. Let's talk about how you feel about me . . . Maybe Barack Obama should modify his famous New Age-y line, uttered after the 2008 Super Tuesday results, to read "I am the one I have been waiting for." In recent times, it's become an entertaining parlor game to count the number of self references in President Obama's public statements.

The latest opportunity to play the game comes via a fund-raising email the prez sent out this morning. Defiantly entitled "I Won't Apologize," the short message contains by my count no fewer than 11 self-references [12 if you count the URL for the fund-raising link]—a self-adoring assortment of I, I'm, I'll and me.

More here.

I think that’s how I will refer to him...I, Barack.

Another 2.3 years of this national nightmare.


And he’s just warming up. We really haven’t seen anything yet.

One thing for sure, the damage he’s done will be with us long past Nov 2016.

Obama’s self references are pathological. Other presidents somehow managed to talk about other people. For instance, when Bush eulogized Reagan, he spoke not about himself but about Reagan.

By contrast, when Obama ‘eulogized’ Daniel Inouye, he spoke almost completely about himself. Read the transcript sometime. It’s all about Obama taking a vacation as a boy, and running around to see if the motel had an ice maker & a swimming pool. It was about Obama realizing that a boy of mixed race had a chance in America. It was so bad, even the libs noticed—& I mean the moonbats. That’s saying something.

One only need compare the titles of Reagan’s and Clinton’s autobiographies to see the contrasting use between a patriot and a narcissist— “An American Life” vs “My Life.” I wonder what Obama’s will be called?

I think the best way to get rid of this clown is for him to have a narcissistic meltdown. Unfortunately, some cities may get nuked while this is going on before he can be dragged away and locked up.

President Bush seldom, if ever, used the word “I” in his speeches. He was always talking about the soldiers, or the heroes, or the team. He was one of the most self-effacing men to ever hold the office of President.
