(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.

I’ll take your word for it...the only word I ever want to hear from that guy follows is: “resign”.

He is, of course, God reincarnated, at least in his own mind. (And in the mind of the libtards).

Only 68?
He must be lightening up.

Usually it's 5 per minute.
And his speeches are never shorter than 90 minutes!

Yes, well, I can kind of understand that. Not condoning it, mind, but I think if I were working alongside Patti Anne Brown, Andrea Tanteros, or Anna Kooiman, for example, I would have a hard time as well.

However, there is NO Blippin' way I would want to be anywhere near ANY of that race-baiting arsewipe Jakson's mistresses. Yet, he continues to promote her on his program when she does little more than interject such intellectual comments such as "you're disgusting!" to opponents on his show.

Revoltin', is what it is.

Obama just has to learn to use the “royal we”, as the Queen and some other rulers do. That would cut down on his use of the vertical pronoun.

No wonder I can’t stand listening to him. Inflated buffoon.

I haven't willingly watched him on TV or listened to anything he says since mid-2009.

Life is too short. I can get an idea of his imbecilities from the later commentary.
