Obama; Narcissist in Chief

as seen in Moonbattery

Obama Mentions Himself Nearly 1,200 Times in 41 Speeches (Or Did You Not Notice?)

Dan Gainor has a spicy little piece that pretty much sums up Narcissist-in-Chief Obama, the quintessential product of the I-My-Me culture:

In mythology, Narcissus was the guy who fell in love with his own reflection.

In 2009, he’s the president of the United States.

Instead of adoring his own image, Obama loves to hear himself talk – about himself. In just 41 speeches so far this year, not including this week's big speech at the United Nations, Obama has talked about himself nearly 1,200 times – 1,198 to be exact. (That breaks down to 1,121 “I”s and just 77 “me”s.) And that just includes 34 weekly addresses and his seven major speeches. Count the hundreds of other public speeches and he’d be off the charts.

Mr. Gainor should be praised for this numeric feat of true heroism. It must have been stomach-turning. Not even the unprecedented wall-to-wall Sunday talk-show circus escaped his scrutiny. Despite that glaring hole right around the Fox affiliates, The Narcissinator still set records:

The interviews went off as expected. Obama kept his “I” on the nation’s problems. He mustered 387 personal mentions in just 82 minutes of air time. Forget the economy, health care, racism or whatever. Every 13 seconds, Obama was talking about … Obama.

If a first-person pronoun falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, would it make a difference in the polls?

"I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and bright!"

Nice bit of content analysis there. Obama is the quintessential pathological narcissist. Looks like all those shrinks before the election who called him as such were right. Unfortunately, such people are extremely dangerous when in power, especially when cornered.

Well, if he couldn't be the potus, then perhaps he could be an opera singer, and his favorite aria would be "Me, me, me, me, me!"

Good post! And great blog too. I wanted to let you know that I linked to your post this morning in my own post on this topic. Obama is a cold man, and shows more and more his own lack of character. I'm glad to know that others share my opinion.

Good work, keep it up!
