I get it. I know what thats like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasnt always able to give us things the other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didnt fit in. So I wasnt always as focused as I should have been. I did some things Im not proud of, and got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse. Is he talking to elementary school kids or his therapist here?

Zot?
I know the leftists have been using this as defense for Obama’s original indoctrination plans.

Geez, what a load of excessive drone-blather. I can shorten this into ONE frickin' sentence:
"Kids, if you want to succeed, don't be like me."

My problem with the speech is just how pathetic, depressing and demoralizing it is for my three sons (1st, 2nd and 7th grades). They go to a decent public school, do great in school and are happy to be going to school.
The speech is probably appropriate for a segment of the stundent population (I would argue middle school or high school) that is struggling in school.
Why give this speech to Kindergartners and elementary school students? Simply does not make sense.

No Reagan said “I” 25 times. I checked.

Not so quick, there’s plenty of beat down opportunity left.

I wanna talk about me, I wanna talk about i,
Wanna talk about number 1 oh my, me, my.
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see.
I wanna talk about me! (me, me, me,) I wanna talk about me-e-e (me, me, me)

In 139 sentences, comprising 2436 words, “I” occurs 56 times, “my” 11, and me four times. A total of 61 occurances of the first person singular pronoun, more than once every fortieth word. He can barely stagger through two sentences with out invoking some form of the word “I”.

He took questions from the students, but nobody can question Obama. Were all those “I”’s Reagan”s?
You know, you defend Obama an awful lot . . .

“IT’S ABOUT HIME”
I thought that meant it was going to be Revum Wright style. All about “them himeys” (is that the correct spelling of Jesse Jackson’s “himey”?)

Thought experiment: Let’s pretend it’s early in the Bush Administration 8 years ago. George Bush asks for access to the schoolkids of America to deliver a similar speech. What would have been the reaction of the teachers union and the media?

It’s all good fun until someone loses an I.

I’ve noticed his love for the word “I” for quite some time. The man is not ready for prime time.
