    One could easily conclude Barack Obama is in love with himself!

    If only he loved our free enterprise system and our values of hard work and personal responsibility as much as he loves himself!


    I, Barry...

    Never let it be said that Barack Obama is an introvert.

    Case in point: while on the campaign trail in Sandusky, Ohio, Obama used the first-person pronouns "I" and "me" 117 times during a 25 minute, 32 second speech.

    According to a transcript of the speech released by the White House, Obama used "I" 98 times, and "me" 15 times.

    A YouTube video shows the speech lasted 25 and a half minutes.

    That's an average of references to himself every using "I" or "me" once every 13.09 seconds.

    "You" Come In Second Place...

    Towards the end of his stump speech, Obama vowed to his supporters that every morning when he wakes, they will be the first thought on his mind:

    "I want you to know that when I ran in 2008, I said I wasn't going to be a perfect man and I certainly wasn't going to be a perfect president, but I'd always tell you what I thought.

    I'd always tell you where I stood.

    And, most of all, I would wake up every single day thinking about you…"

    In letting the enthralled masses know how concerned he is with them, Obama used "I" 10 times, "you" four.

    This is the worst thread, highlighting the absurd pickiness of the Obama-obsessed Republicans. Where other people (libertarians) care about record on individual rights, record on liberty, you guys will look for the stupidest (*)(*)(*)(*) to get all gleeful over. How about his record on the DAA, the Patriot Act, drone assassinations?

    You know, things that are meaningful and makes sense?

    He's wearing chambray. Why doesn't someone call him out for that? It's just as useful.

    Ha-Ha!

    More liberal diversion to obscure Barack Obama's true politics and his true personality!

    Barack Obama is a "community organizer" who has never met a payroll or operated a successful business in his life. He has no credentials for how to lecture successful people about how much they should pay in taxes to support Obama's socialist welfare state! In Obama's mind a "perfect" government would be one that provided welfare benefits for everyone!

    This is a typical example of what the Left calls success. You spend more money with fewer results but this is success because more money benefited the people who are poor. We lay off productive NASA aerospace workers to provide welfare benefits to more and more poor people with third grade educations. This is the Democrats' definition of success!

    Liberal diversion? Cessna have you gone absolutely off the edge of reason and plunged into the abyss of talk show mentality?

    I bring up Obama's record on individual rights--DAA, Patriot Act, suspension of due process to murder an American citizen, something that actually matters and you think it's a liberal diversion.

    and what is the most Mitt has used or is he not running on what he can do for America, but how he can profit from America at America's expense?

    It may not be a current event, but the way he continues to express this behavior is a current event!

    Yes, a liberal diversion. Please explain to us why Barack Obama has not met with his jobs council.

    As a result of Obama's policies, the number of weekly jobless claims has now risen by 386,000 Americans who lost their jobs last week!

    With millions of Americans out of work and income tax receipts to funds Obama's favirite programs way down, you would think an emphasis on creating new jobs and new employment opportunities for all Americans would be Barack Obama's number one priority!

    The panel of CEOs and some union officials has not met with the president for six months, after it issued a divided set of policy recommendations (labor participants thought it skewed too much toward corporate tax breaks and deregulation) in January.

    Everything of any importance Obama should be doing these days appears to be next in line to his record number of campaign fundraisers.

    “Obama is just out there campaigning every day and looking for somebody else to blame for his failures to move the economy forward,” Mr. Boehner said.

    Mitt Romney and Republicans are trumpeting the White House’s inactive Jobs Council as evidence the president is sidestepping work on the economy in favor of campaigning for re-election.
