Former President Barack Obama visited The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Friday to accept the schools ethics in government award, and to offer his take on the state of our democracy.
And while Obama found plenty of time to denigrate Republicans for allegedly stoking fear during these dangerous and extraordinary times, he also dedicated a lot of his speech to patting himself on the back for everything from the improving economy to supposedly helping to heal the countrys racial divisions.
All told, the former president referred to himself I, My, Me more than 102 times in about 64 minutes, while simultaneously engaging in the type political pot shots he criticized Republicans for.

Obamas favorite word seemed to be I, which he repeated at least 87 times, followed by more than a dozen references to my or me.

Nah, those media lapdogs has been well trained to turn off their brains & fact checking when a Democrat speaks, especially that one as he’s literally their god!
The sound in the audience:

Hey, and what’s going on with his dark eyebrows? His hair’s gray but his eyebrows are darker and bushier than ever. It makes him look strange than ever.
That socialist shit for brains has nothing. Your agenda is gone bath boy.
Narsissy is back.
This was obama’s short speech.
"And remember when I said, 'If you like your plan, you can keep your plan'?"
An appearance by Obama is confirmation that:
1) Trump is going to move against the deep state in a big way. Obama looked a little worried to me.
2) The dems are in danger of losing their bid to take back the house.
There was a queer Kenyan from Nantucket.....
