I count nine "I"s and three "my"s. Of course there could have been fewer and more mention of the troops and each little "I" or "my" might have stung, but that number isn't completely beyond reason.
I guess a lot of how people think about this depends on how plugged in they are to political opinion -- and nowadays more and more people are, so their reactions reflect political considerations.
I missed President Obama's speech and didn't find out about what happened until the next day. I was glad we got Osama and that a chapter may have come to a close.
Sure Obama gets a bump up in the polls, but it wasn't about him. It was about America, about all of us. Too much focus on him one way or the other takes away from what's really important.
Hmmm ... 6 "I"s. That's enough.
Thanks the info...I took the “count” from some editorials I read...they went just “I”s, but 24 personal pronouns.
