At times, Obama — the “hope and change” president — seemed to warn against the kind of change Trump has promised. […]

No more undermining of the 2nd Amendment by running guns to Mexico to cause greater carnage.

AP actually has text of the speech, and the count is 34. He said “me” ten times and “my” nineteen times.
