In contrast to the times the impeached, disgraced boy president used personal pronouns, I counted this many uses of "I, me," and "my" in President Bush's speech in Atlanta Thursday night. Just the first ten paragraphs. I didn't count the uses of "we" because Bush uses the word overwhelmingly to refer to us as a nation when using this word, rather than the giants on whose shoulders he might claim to stand within his administration.

Watch President Bush refer to himself in his November 8 speech
---------------------
I = 1
me = 0
my = 0

In Keeping with the "ME" thread:

I was commander-in-chief of the people…

…the best of the world that I worked hard for eight years to build

In the years that I served… prevented many, many more terrorist attacks than were successful. (Does anybody else catch the insinuation? Clinton prevented terrorist attacks while Bush was unable to prevent, or allowed, the Sept. 11 attacks!)

I've been going all over the world and I've been all over America going through this exercise so I'll take you through it.

Since you're living here and we've been doing reasonable well the last few years…

When I became president in January of '93 there were only fifty sites on the worldwide web. When I left office there were 350 million.

I was honored to be president at the first time in history when more than half the world's people lived under governments of their own choosing, and when America… and the societies were actually working, and working better…

The Florida Everglades I worked so hard to save.

In my last year as president we got 300 million dollars… to feed six million children…

I think I've earned a right to say this, I was the first president ever to recognize…

I tried to create a peace in the Middle East…

I think I have earned the right to say…

… bringing their kids to see me because they were so grateful that America had given them a chance to build their lives.

Remarkable!!

Even when you know that Xlinton is a narcissist and Bush is a LEADER, seeing those contrasting numbers referring to self in your two posts absolutely blows me away! (especially since I can't stomach even <>looking at the debauched one, so I didn't see his speech).

PRAISE GOD FOR THIS PRESIDENT!!!
There is truly an angel in the whirlwind directing this storm!!

Your #32 observation deserves a separate thread. It isn't spin, but verifiable fact.

I once posted a John Edwards speech highlighting the word power which he used so often. One of his friends was peeved at me. The truth hurts.
