Obama sets record (breaking his own, I suppose):

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.

Obama talking about himself in an almost obsessive manner is no new phenomenon, but today he shattered his own records. Over the course of a 90 minute townhall with "emerging leaders," Obama mentioned himself an eye-popping 392 times.

Here's the breakdown of his personal pronoun use (based on a rush transcript of the event):

"I" — 274

"Me" — 25

"My" — 31

"I’d" — 9

"I’m" — 41

"Myself" — 7

“Obama” — 5

The former president's comments began on his favorite topic: himself.

They all looked bored silly.

I wonder what he paid himself for that speech out of foundations funds.

God bless the USA
I tried to respect him, and had high hopes for our first black prez. Those hopes were dashed. Our first black prez should have been MLK. The rest is history.

And, never forget Michelle’s famous words about the first time she was proud of our Country. :barf:
