Obama says "I" 16,000 times since taking office

Today is Barack Obama’s 49th birthday and an ideal time to mark a little more than a year and a half causing havoc in the White House. What could be more appropriate to celebrate his 18 months of self interest and self involvement than a day honoring him?
 
According to the Associated Press, Obama will have dinner with friends and then settle down to a nice evening in his Hyde Park house. With his wife and children away, he’ll be “spending his birthday instead as a bachelor.” That’s the metaphor for the Obama presidency. He’ll be spending his birthday with his favorite person – himself.
 
Since Obama took office January last year, he’s talked endlessly about himself. At town halls, in speeches, during anniversaries and to the press, the message has always been the same: “I.” Obama has spoken some form of “I” or “me” more than 16,000 official times since he took office.

That's close to 30 times per day, but since this only counts his speeches, wow.

That's it? I would have taken the over on that one. Way over.

He believes in an "I" for an "I".

That's why you can't make a drinking game with the word "I" during his speeches.  You and your buddies would be flat on the floor in no time.  Remember his SOTU?  There were some bingo cards going around the net with all his cliched phrases, (let me be clear, inherited, etc.)  That was a fine idea!

One of my roommates and I did this. I hadn't hurt that bad the next morning in a long time.
