‘I,’ ‘Me,’ ‘My’—Obama Uses First Person Singular 91 Times in Speech on Immigration

Leaving aside passages in which he quoted a Chicago pub owner and a letter from a citizen from Georgia, President Barack Obama used the first person singular—including the pronouns “I” and “me” and the adjective “my”—91 times in a speech he delivered in Chicago Tuesday to explain his unilateral action on immigration.

Gettysburg Address= 0 me’s, 0 my’s, 0 I’s

I guess Valerie Jarrett can’t write a speech for her sock puppet without all those me-my-I’s in them.

I couldn’t think of a better punishment on the American people for falling away from God than allowing a foreign king to be installed who hates his people. See Samuel, Chronicles and Kings chapters in the Bible. There are many more but those chapters really lay out what happens when people disintegrate into lawlessness because they think they know better than God on how to govern themselves.

A close friend used to do the drinking game with Obama’s speeches. Take a drink every time Obama used a first person pronoun. After one of Obama’s State of the Union addresses, my friend was so loaded, he passed out and never made it to work the next morning. On top of that, his wife wasn't amused, so he had to do some serious marital mending.

My friend doesn't do that drinking game anymore. In fact, he doesn't watch Obama’s speeches at all.

I thought collective punishment was a “bad thing.” But, apparently it is biblically correct.

Obama has an unhealthy ego, to say the least. The sharp chin and nose in the air when he’s on the attack against Americans and lying, will always stick out in my mind. He’s obstinate and menacing.

That stance has been imitated by many a thug since Dear Reader came to power. As if leftists don’t already have a problem with the egos that propel their unethical ideology of innate superiority over “the masses.”

The tab for king obama’s amnesty decree? It could be $6 TRILLION

By: DrJohn

http://floppingaces.net/2014/11/23/the-tab-for-king-obamas-amnesty-decree-it-could-be-6-trillion/

The typical unlawful immigrant is 34 years old. After amnesty, this individual will receive government benefits, on average, for 50 years. Restricting access to benefits for the first 13 years after amnesty therefore has only a marginal impact on long-term costs.

If amnesty is enacted, the average adult unlawful immigrant would receive $592,000 more in government benefits over the course of his remaining lifetime than he would pay in taxes.

Over a lifetime, the former unlawful immigrants together would receive $9.4 trillion in government benefits and services and pay $3.1 trillion in taxes. They would generate a lifetime fiscal deficit (total benefits minus total taxes) of $6.3 trillion. (All figures are in constant 2010 dollars.) This should be considered a minimum estimate. It probably understates real future costs because it undercounts the number of unlawful immigrants and dependents who will actually receive amnesty and underestimates significantly the future growth in welfare and medical benefits.

The most recent studies after the fact, concluded that Obama’s unlawful Amnesty will cost over $6 trillion just regarding Social Security and Medicare bankrupting both.
