‘I,’ ‘Me,’ ‘My’—Obama Uses First Person Singular 199 Times in Speech Vowing Unilateral Action
cnsnews.com ^ | 7/11/14 | Terence P. Jeffrey

Not counting instances when he quoted a letter from a citizen or cited dialogue from a movie, President Barack Obama used the first person singular--including the pronouns "I" and "me" and the adjective "my"--199 times in a speech he delivered Thursday vowing to use unilateral executive action to achieve his policy goals that Congress would not enact through the normal, constitutional legislative process.

“It is lonely, me just doing stuff,” Obama said at the speech in Austin, Texas, according to the official transcript and video posted on the White House website.

“I’m just telling the truth now,” Obama told the crowd. “I don't have to run for office again, so I can just let her rip. And I want to assure you, I’m really not that partisan of a guy.”

He’s taking over. He’s declaring himself king, or Fuhrer.

The lying never ends, a stream of undiluted bilge pouring forth anytime, anywhere, regardless of the audience. Another name for the Devil is The Liar. And as long as a substantial number of Americans want to believe lies, so be it. Well, if the loafer fits, wear it, Barry.

There’s another word in the presidential word cloud that begins with ‘I’.

And now I’ve got that George Harrison song “I, Me, My” running around my head along with inages of Obama bloviating. Kinda amusing, actually.

“(Well, don’t you know)
That’s the sound of the men
Working on the choom gang
That’s the sound of the men
Working on the choom gang

All day long they’re singing
My, my, my, my, my, my
My work is so hard
Give me water, I’m thirsty

My work is so hard

I wonder how Obama will express himself when he stands before the Living God. Will it be “I did this... it was my idea..etc.” or will he try the blame game(someone else did that, not me).

Obama follows the BBL model in almost all speeches. Bragg, Blame, and Lie.

“I wonder how Obama will express himself when he stands before the Living God. Will it be “I did this... it was my idea..etc.” or will he try the blame game(someone else did that, not me).”

That’s what he does now, no reason for him to change. He takes credit for things he did not accomplish and denies responsibility for the things he’s done.

It’s like dealing with a 5 year old.
