Another subtle and very telling similarity between Bush and Clinton
Edited on Thu Apr-24-08 09:34 AM by burythehatchet
One thing that Bush does is so frickin obnoxious ... he always to refers to the government as "My government".

Yesterday I noticed that every time Obama talks about the campaign its "Our campaign", with Hillary its "my campaign". This focus on oneself is very indicative of a narcissistic personality.

Though most politicians devolve into this speech pattern, another thing I like about Obama is that he always refers to "us", the only reference to the first person is when he talking only about himself.

1. Hmmm
That could be because he doesn't want to take responsibility.

2. Or it could be because he understands that only we can make it happen.
He is telling us that if we want to rescue ourselves, it will be through our efforts not because he's going to do some magic.

3. If I was helping her out, I wouldn't want to be considered "hers".

4. That's it. As a manager, I never enter into a project without thinking what
I would have to do in order to have the work team "own" the project.

5. Hillary's campaign has always been focused on HER
Obama's campaign has always been focused on US.
