Didn't somebody produce a count of the number of "I's" in obama's speeches recently? An astounding number. Never about America -- just about him. Real narcissm on display.

"mmm, mmm, mm. Barrack-Hussain-Obama." - The liberals cool-aid drinking song

I'm going to start attaching the adjective, immediately.

Someone here made the same comment last week about Vain Obama's speech in Copenhagen, countint the I's and me's.  Just goes to show you that the NB crowd is quick on the draw and spot on, too.

I hope he fails, too.

Someone even has the guts to point this out.

They did not lose the Olympics because of any reason but this guy and his vowels.  The I's and O's and never yoU.

"1/20/2013 The end of a Error"

One prominent characteristic of contemporary super-celebrities is the extreme degree to which it is "all about them."  Some are more obvious about it than others, but George Will highlights an excellent point about Obama:  it's all about him.

Certainly, his charm has won him three major elections without a loss, and delivered him to the White House.  But the trap here is that in achieving the ultimate political prize, he has never had to make any real accomplishments in the offices he has held up to now. In fact, in his two previous offices -- Illinois Senator and US Senator from Illinois -- he was very quickly back on the campaign trail for the next election before he could prove his worth as a legislator.  That's one reason he can neither steer his Congressional leaders toward resolution nor rally the support of the fence-sitters in his own party;  he's never really worked in their little fiefdom, so he doesn't know what makes it operate. 

Now there is no higher office to campaign for, and the public expects leadership and results -- That's asking a tall order from a man who has never displayed either.  Having failed to ram health care reform through on mere charm and hubris, he has no alternative strategy to employ.  And critics from across the political spectrum are losing confidence and (trumpets please . . .) HOPE.

Since he measures his success with his standing in polls, it must be a shock to him to see his numbers plummet on the very issue he wanted to deliver.   The more visible he is on the issue, the more public support for it drops. 

But he still doesn't get it.  And just as a Hollywood actor or rock star dumps his/her agent when the contract offers trickle off, watch for BHO to dump some advisers in order to re-energize his Presidency; it will be billed as a "new strategic direction initiative."   Yet it will merely be Emperor Barack I still failing to acknowledge that he has no clothes.

Her reaction to what Will says is something:  she looks down and laughs.  Yep, Cookie, the public has figured him out.

The mainstream media is cracking. This is accurate of Will. Meet the press this am was supposed to be about issues but turned into a debate about mainstream media vs. talk radio. Through it all is Obama, who is becoming the problem over all of the issues. It is his ego and charm that is supposed to solve everything. He hasn't a clue how to solve anything except to throw money at things which he clearly never had. He is systematically ruining our country. Hope more media types will call him out. Mainstream people are running out of excuses for him.

Rino's like Will, Noonan, McCain, Graham, Specter, and the worst of the bunch, Both Bush's have gotten us in the mess we're in today. They tried for years to out liberal the liberals. They are worthless and perceived as such by rank and file conservatives and even some Republicans. The vitality is with the TEA movement and it will absorb the GOP and bring most so called moderates to it as well. The media will NOT select the next GOP pres candidate, believe me. McCain and Dole were hand picked to insure Dem victories but those days of media power are LONG GONE.

Did he not take his teleprompters this trip?  I mean, after all, the man is a BRILLIANT reader.  Brilliant speaker?  Not so much.

Maybe the teleprompters should've just made the trip without him. 

I remember lots of self-referential pronouns in that one, too.

 But what was truly cringe-worthy was when Obama took credit for the children's school supplies! 

 Suggestion for Jack Cashill--do a speech by speech Narcissism Analysis.   Is there an Obama speech out there that is not about him?

With Obama (and Michelle too for that matter), it's always all about him.  

Though this is hardly a newsflash, I'm very glad that Will said this...I just wish more in the media would catch on. I'd be willing to bet that a number of them already have, but are too intimidated by the rest of their Obamaton media brethren to say so. 

That whole useless excursion to Copenhagen proved to be nothing more than another vanity trip for the Obamas..."Look at us...look at us!" The bright spot was that it blew up in both of their faces. 

"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan

(My message posted here rather than under the post to which I was responding. So, with reference to a comment above about not wasting a good crisis...)

He could have used the earthquake and tsunami in Samoa, but rather than even make one little mention of their suffering, he chose to say nothing, and instead of showing them support, he went ahead with his Copenhagen debacle.

Well, maybe it's not so bad, since he's now showing his true colors: vanity and arrogance

Barack Who's Vain Obama?

...AFTER Obama's massive, unprecedented ego is satiated. Or non-insatiated, in this case.

No matter, 'everyone was watching', whatever the outcome.

I understand the administration is diverting WTC funds -with the help of VanityPAC, the NEA, and ruinthemall.org- and are in the process of designing the Barack Obamument to replace the aging and boring Washington Monument. I have an advanced concept photo.

I'm not buying the whole "vanity" angle though- an accomplished leader such as our dear one deserves an erection that just won't go away.

And the "I's" have it. all in favor say "I", the Obama's three favorite people are "me, myself and I". 

How can Barack and Michelle stand to be in the room with each other both would want the kudos on every thing. it is no wonder the Media has to paint a over glowing comments about these two. Otherwise it would be such a narcissistic nightmare that no one would read or listen too.

what is the total of "I's" Obama has used since campaigning (which has never stopped)?

"The ultimate result of shielding men from the effect of folly is to fill the world with fools."

Herbert Spencer's "State Tamperings with Money Banks"

The greater danger is that in another generation the word vain will disappear utterly because no one will recongnize as being abnormal. It will become one of those quaint little dictionary words such as "nocent" or "thrifty" that people no longer use and soon will have no idea of  it's meaning.

The George F. Will pendulum swings just a little further to right of center than normal.

His a$$ must hurt after sitting on the fence all these years.

Goes to show how extreme the Liberals are in this country as they see fit to dub a moderate as being a conservative.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

...the eerie resemblance between Obama's popular campaign "logo" and this one, or this simpler one, of a "canonized" militant left-wing radical "revolutionary"?

Today I saw somebody with a T-shirt sporting the Obama logo (in it's more mainstream form with "Hope" in bold lettering as opposed to "Progress"), when it dawned on me like a ton of bricks.

"Steady."  -- Keith Olbermann to Chris Matthews

The IOC rejected the U.S. bid because the Obamas thought their mere presence would knock the IOC over and  confirm the U.S. media's idolization of these two fools.  Obama wanted the games in Chicago because it would be so convenient for him to walk from his home to the Olympic stadium.  What was the necessity for Michelle Obama to talk about her father? I had never seen an Olympic presentation before and was amazed at how terrible this one was.

One of the easy answers to this is that when he uses a teleprompter he doesn't say "uh" and "uhm".  He is terrible about doing that when he does speak without the Prompter.  He has found a new crutch in his speaking by using "I". When in doubt, use "I".

To think that he could get the Olympic Committee to care whether he could walk to the Olympics is so unbelievable.

 So does this mean he lives in Valerie Jarrett's slums if he can walk to the site of the proposed Olympic village from his house?
