“President Obama was in Germany on Saturday, ostensibly to speak about ‘community leadership and civic engagement’ on behalf of his eponymous Obama Foundation, but Berliners soon discovered his main topic of interest was … Barack Obama.”
Tom Elliott at Grabien goes on to document the numbers — 467 references to himself in one speech:
Here’s the breakdown of his personal pronoun use (based on a rush transcript of the event):
“I” — 303
“Me” — 33
“My” — 43
“I’d” — 9
“I’m” — 59
“Myself” — 9
The former president’s comments began on his favorite topic: himself.
“It’s been over ten years since I spoke to a slightly larger crowd in front of the Victory Column when I was running for president,” Obama said to a notably quiet crowd. “I had a little less gray hair then. And since then I’ve been back to Germany I think at least ten times. I’ve been to Europe countless times. But I’m as excited to be here with you as I have been ever when I’ve come to Europe.”
Incoherent as always. Pull the teleprompter out of his teeth and his words come out from — somewhere else. A few presidents have had the grace to fade away quietly, but this one is not a member of that club.
