‘I,’ ‘Me’—Obama Uses First-Person Pronoun 117 Times in 1 Speech - The Firearms Forum

jack404 · 07-09-2012, 03:58 AM

Speaking in Sandusky, Ohio on July 5, President Barack Obama used
the first-person pronouns “I” and “me” a combined 117 times in a speech
that lasted about 25 minutes and 32 seconds.
Obama used “I” 98 times and “me” 19 times, according to a transcript of the speech posted by the White House. A videotape of the speech posted on YouTube shows that Obama spoke for about 25-and-a-half minutes.

During this speech, Obama used “I” or “me” approximately once every 13.09 seconds.

comparison for those who say i'm one sided

Romney used “I” 47 times and “me” 8 times. During the just over 18
minutes that Romney spoke at Salem

I wonder how many times he used "bush" and "my predecessor".

Scum.

Bush only 3 times but previous government previous administration was like 35

infowars has the transcript and you do a word search ( CRTL +F and type in what you are after ) it'll highlight and give you a count

I'm sure that his excessive usage of IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
is a direct result of the previous administration.

I feel charming,
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real.

I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty
That the city should give me its key.
A committee
Should be organized to honor me.

It is all about him though, isn't it?

Ya crack me up Raven.

Only you can come up with songs so fitting of threads. I'll bet most of 'em zip right by the other members here.

There's only four words that I'd like to hear from Obie.

"I take full responsibility" for something he was actually responsible for.
