President Obama referred to himself 75 times in his farewell address Tuesday night, according to a review of his prepared remarks by The Daily Caller.

Obama heavily promoted the speech, penning a blog post about it and appearing in a promotional video in the days leading up to the address.

Can't wait for the De-Obamaization process to start.

I had guessed a couple of days ago it would be 110 times...

I wonder if Obama will have a clear coffin ala Lenin for his final resting place?

I forget at the moment who it was, but one of the Presidents delivered his inauguration speech without a single use of the word “I”.

Looked like a pretty small crowd compared to Trump rallies.

Such restraint against self-aggrandizing! seriously, the tag should be self-evident

[Gaffer]

He’s like a double-pinched out loaf we’ve finally shat out that he tries to spike like a Touchdown but comes over as a turd that splats on the 1 yard line, toppling over like the messy pile that it is. He will end up being the stain that marks the Presidency as the result of racial and religious hatred on this country coupled with a huge dose of misplaced errant white guilt.

Only seventy-five?!

...

We both would have lost the over under bet.

Perhaps Barky is more humble as he approaches retirement.

Nope. That’s not it.

Ya’ know, I missed it. I wonder if he could repeat that speech over the “Madumb Suckretary” show.

Had to watch a great Walker, Texas Ranger re-run on Grit TV.

That sounds more like a speech from a tin-pot dictator from the 20th Century. Even Adolf Hitler didn’t refer to himself (for the most part) in the many speeches he gave at rallies during the 1930’s.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

That’s the statistic I was watching for. He’s learned nothing in 8 years.

Only 75?

HAHAHA!

[JBW1949]

I missed it also...I watched Florida State send Dook packing....

[SkyDancer]

I wonder how many one-shot drunks there were? Seventy-five shots is a heck of a lot of booze.

[SkyDancer]

I bet the MSMLSD camera’s were tight on the crowd to make it look larger than it really was.

[JBW1949]

OK...New one...

How many days (or maybe even hours) before Obammy asks to be on CNN to begin slamming Trump???

In the meantime, while you weren't looking, jug-ears awarded himself the Distinguished Public Service Medal.
