I, Barack: Obama References Himself Twelve Times in Latest Fund-raising Email

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.

Why would a man with such a sorry record think so highly of himself? Ping to Today show list.

Zero is so full of himself.

Another 2.3 years of this national nightmare.

Thanks for the reminder.

[SMARTY]

Right... AND national joke!

[Ditter]

Maybe the answer to your question is because.......... his adoring fans still tell him he is fantastic.

It reminds me of this quote “Do not accept your dog’s admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful”.

We can change “dog’” to “libtard”!

Hard to laugh and cry at the same time.

the real Obama...

I am not surprised at his self-adoration. He is a narcissist.

The Left has most control over MUCH of the media and it perpetrated this fraud on a gullible and stupid public.

The real obama would have a communist flag behind him, not an American one.

[Celtic Conservative]

All through the day, I me mine, I me mine, I me mine......

That George Harrison song now plays in my head every time I see or hear Obama.

the real Obama...

Or, as Vito Corleone spoke of Philip Tattaglia: "He's a pimp."
Short, sweet and to the point: the real Obama.

Is there inherent wrong in an individual using the first person when speaking? The Office of President is singular. Let’s check the statistics and see how many times prior presidents used the first person in their speeches. The problem isn’t so much that Obama refers to himself and his intentions so frequently, but that he and his intentions are misguided at best.
