President Obama referred to himself 45 times over the course of the speech he delivered Tuesday at the memorial service for the five police officers killed in Dallas last week.
Obama referred to himself twice before finishing his opening salutations and before mentioning the slain officers or their families. After noting the presence of President Bush, members of Congress and Dallas mayor Mike Rawlings, Obama appeared to go off-script.
“Chief Brown, I’m so glad I met Michelle first because she loves Stevie Wonder,” Obama said, jokingly referencing Dallas Police Chief David Brown’s earlier speech in which Brown quoted lyrics from the song “As” in tribute to the deceased. The president looked around the room, pointed at Brown and cracked a grin while the audience laughed at and applauded his joke. “Most of all, the families…” Obama said, proceeding with his speech.
Obama would refer to himself 43 more times throughout the speech — most of which he personally wrote, according to the LA Times — including one instance where he referred to himself in the third-person: “the president.”
The president also referred to himself while lamenting the apparent inefficacy of his own rhetoric. “I’ve seen how inadequate my own words can be,” he said.

I heard Obama today and his moronic reference to Stevie Wonder. He forget to give a shout out to Dr. Joe Medicine Crow. (Ft Hood shooting 2009)
What a self absorbed puke of a man?!
Lest we forget.
Jet lag must have made him tired.
Narcissistic national agitator never misses an opportunity to enjoy himself, completely disconnected from whatever event he is dishonoring and defiling. I SO wish all the police officers would have turned thier backs to him.
He needs medical help for “I” trouble.
That even Stevie Wonder can see we need more gun control?
Typical self-absorbed liberal.
It’s a good thing for the cops that the CIA has not yet perfected ‘Mind Reading’ or similar data downloads.
I’m sure a lot of them were saying; “This is our President?
This man is as crazy as a bed bug!”
“Me me me me me me me me me me me...”
Well it’s sad, but it appears to be what we have to put up with for the rest of his tenure.
If folks understood this better, maybe they could endure it without getting so bent out of shape because “consider the source.”
OK, we’ve heard from “Mr. Me.” Now let’s do what God wants.
Mirror,mirror on the wall!
Narcissitic personality disorder on parade....leader of the world caliphate....blah, blah,blah,blahhhhhhhh.
Traitorous piece of sh$t who belongs in prison with his female puppet, Billary.
Wow, "inappropriate" doesn't even start to cover it. Especially from the POTUS, no less.
I never thought I could hate and utterly detest anyone like I do this evil puke and sorry excuse for human scum.
Most disturbing is that most people cannot detect even a tiny bit of anything wrong with him.
Stepping on the Chief’s Stevie Wonder speech was pretty tacky and then went downhill from there.
Pray America wakes
Of course he did
The DiC is impossibly self centered
Sending signals that he really doesn’t want to be sympathetic, huh.
That was very insipid indeed. Did you notice the female officer sitting behind him? She looked throughout the speech like she had just guzzled a pint of concentrated lemon juice! Cops recognize BS when they hear it!
