Watch Obama Refer to Himself 68 Times in Speech to U.S.-Africa Summit
Grabien ^ | August 6, 2014

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

President Obama spoke yesterday at the 2014 U.S.-Africa Summit in Washington, D.C.

"I want to thank," the president began.

He continued: "Last year in South Africa, in Soweto," he said, "I held a town hall."

Later, the president discussed Africa's expanding energy market: "I don’t want to just sustain this momentum, I want to up it."

"I just want to close," he ultimately concluded -- having eventually referred to himself 68 times in a 44 minute appearance*.

*Grabien staff calculated this number to the best of our adding ability. We make no guarantees. Here is the full transcript.

It’s got to be deliberate either by him or his speech writers. One of the ways to build unity with your audience is to say “we” and not “I”....don’t separate yourself from the audience because it’s divisive...of course that’s exactly what he does.....divide.

He is a pathological egotist.
Some people learn from their mistakes.
Obama just denies his.

Contrast that with Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address. Lincoln used 272 words and didn’t mention himself once.

Dang. He talks about himself more than Hannity.

At least he does not continually bring on that disgusting sneering skank Tamarah JaksonHolder all the time.

Honestly, Hannity's program is usually watchable, but more and more I am beginning to believe what other posters have said that he must be enguaging in some very private maneuvers with that thing, in return for putting her on the show much too often.

I felt the last straw was when he had her on for that scene in "Atlas Shrugged II" where he played himself debating three liberals on his program -and there she was!

Talk about revolting. Why would anyone care about what the mistress of J. Jakson says?

I said last week (when the Ebola scare started) that I doubted Obama was going to have any personal contact with any of them...I guess Crazy Uncle Joe gets to do the fear-of-Ebola detail.

The Campaigner-in-Chief has no clothes on

Foisted on his own "Chomb Gang" pitard,.. and of his own doing

I Me Mine
Performed by The Beatles
Written by George Harrison
Lead singer George Harrison
From the Beatles album “Let It Be”
Released 07 May 1970

All through the day I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
All through the night I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
Now they’re frightened of leaving it,
Everyone’s weaving it,
Going on strong all the time,
All through the day I me mine.

I me me mine,
I me me mine,
I me me mine,
I me me mine.

All I can hear I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
No-one’s frightened of playing it,
Everyone’s saying it,
Flowing more freely than wine,
All through the day I me mine.

I me me mine,
I me me mine,
I me me mine,
I me me mine.

All I can hear I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
No-one’s frightened of playing it,
Everyone’s saying it,
Flowing more freely than wine,
All through your life I me mine.

“I Wanna Talk About Me”
TOBY KEITH

We talk about your work how your boss is a jerk
We talk about your church and your head when it hurts
We talk about the troubles you’ve been having with your brother
About your daddy and your mother and your crazy ex-lover
We talk about your friends and the places that you’ve been
We talk about your skin and the dimples on your chin
The polish on your toes and the run in your hose
And God knows we’re gonna talk about your clothes
You know talking about you makes me smile
But every once in awhile

I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me

We talk about your dreams and we talk about your schemes
your high school team and your moisturizer creme
We talk about your nanna up in Muncie, Indiana
We talk about your grandma down in Alabama
We talk about your guys of every shape and size
The ones that you despise and the ones you idolize
We talk about your heart, about your brains and your smarts
And your medical charts and where you start
You know talking about you makes me grin
But every now and then

I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me

You you you you you you you you youyouyouyouyou
I wanna talk about me

I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me

Two autobiographies before he had ever accomplished anything. The man is his own one one man fan club.

I think Hannity has long engaged (or tried to engage) in private maneuvers with those who surround him. Years ago, there was a hot traffic reporter on WABC named Heather. He turned every traffic report into a flirt session. Word was she finally asked to not do his show anymore.

Obama’s favorite song is probably “I, Me, Mine.”
