In 12 Minute Speech to America About Mass Shooting, Obama Refers to Himself 28 Times
grabien.com ^ | October 1, 2015 | grabien.com

Less than six hours after the mass shooting today in Roseburg, Ore., President Obama called a press conference to demand new gun laws, a move he predicted would spur critics to accuse him of politicizing the issue. If they don’t accuse him of that, they might accuse him of making the tragedy about himself.

During today’s 12-minute address, President Obama referred to himself 28 times. (For those counting at home, that's almost three times per minute.)

Note that in arriving at this calculation, we included mentions of "we" when he was clearly including himself as part of the plural pronoun; the many uses of "we" in referring to America at large were not included.

0bama is a worthless political power whore that has done nothing to help America prosper.

I hope to live long enough to see him planted, even if it is in Arlington NC.

And your point is what???

Trump is campaigning and introducing himself to the populace and what He will lead us through...

Maybe you prefer a softer, gentler kind of speech where everybody gets a lolly pop and nobody loses...

You seem to have a very poor grip on the tools needed to really motivate people versus just painting a dream

Such a happy fellow you must be!

I’m just trying to draw a comparison between outsized egos

One is productive and one is destructive.

i understand and i agree with you in part...Trump comes to the table with a lot of past achievements and some failures...obama came to the table with nothing more than half black skin.

I am just posting a short statement, with little detail. If the Democrat Party does force Obama to resign as POTUS, or impeach him, immediately, the Democrat Party will suffer devastating political defeat after the November, 2016, elections!!! End of story!!!

How quickly he jumps in front of this to deflect any blame from islam. You watch, he’ll send WH representatives to the muzzie’s mosque to tell them he will protect them but not one single staffer to any of the victim’s families.

I don't know. Why don't you get a room with Donald Trump since you OBVIOUSLY are smitten with him and I'm sure would love to grant him sexual favors.

Oh I’d never do that, wouldn’t want to make Karl Rove jealous, he’s already had a bad week losing his BFF John Boehner.

Maybe you can cry Karl to sleep tonight, eh?

If it was just 28 times in twelve minutes, he is slipping. Usually it is 28 times in one minute.

You’re trying to be creative with insults but they’re kind of lame and awkward. So I’m bored by you. Thanks for playing.

Translation = you’re going to slink off to bed and whisper sweet nothings into Karl’s ear.

Wake up to that country classic, “Kiss a RINO Good Morning”, lol

I’m not a supporter of Trump, but I’d hope what we can all agree on is the day Obama leaves office will be one of the greatest days in America in some time.
...............................................
So you think he’s going to leave huh, I’ll bet he tries for a third term.(IMHO)
