It would be helpful to get a comparative count. That way it would be possible to say 200% more, or what ever the actuality is.

I counted 79 “I”s and 8 “me”s from the text. Still “American(s)” he only said 5 times.

What I thought interesting, was instead of using so many I's, me's he morfed his I and me mess into WE and Our mess.

In other words We are responsible for the I/ME mess he created.

I counted 91 I, me, mine occurances in the speech. If he repeated a phrase with I in it, I counted each repetition.

Note that he is also using "we" frequently to substitute for "I".

An embarrassing speech--in an attempt to talk down at the (imagined) knuckledraggers he adopted faux folksiness. Ugh. Creepy.

I believe that we need to have a new drinking game thread. Every time BO says I, me or my take a SIP. Only a sip or you'll be hammered 5 minutes into the speech. I have never seen a bigger narcissist in my life.

No surprise. It’s all about him. And it’s SOTO - State of the Obama.

If anyone was actually playing THAT drinking game, then they are dead.

The thing about all these I, me, and my’s is that it has to be a group effort. Obama’s not writing his own speeches, at least not the bulk of them. So all the I, me and my’s have to be agreed upon between Obama and his speechwriters.
