There were times during a Thursday rally Barack Obama couldn’t help but talk about himself, even though he was supposed to be talking about other people. There were other times he could barely talk at all. “I see you,” Obama started, pointing into the audience. “Let, let, let, let, let me just say these, these are friends of mine,” Obama said, stumbling over his words, “I admit I am biased.” Several times, Obama called Cordray and Sutton a “friend of mine. I have worked with them,” he said, keeping the focus on himself.
