Faux news concerned about how many times Obama says "I" in NH, I am serious
The I's Have It: Obama Hits 45 I's in Nashua, N.H.

FOXNews.com


Much attention has been given to President Obama's persistent use of "I" when giving speeches to sell his administration's agenda. Is he taking responsibility -- or, as his critics say, is he still in campaign mode? FoxNews.com is tracking the president's speeches all this month and will report back after each to see whether The "I's" Have It.

Today's Speech: Opening remarks at a town hall-style meeting in Nashua, N.H.

Subject: Jobs and the economy

Speech Length: 2,811 words

Number of "I" References: 45

5. I don't care
I really don't. Why should I care? I don't watch fox "news". I have a job. I voted for Obama.
Hey all you fox idiots, how many time did the word "I" get used in this meaningless post? Don't care? Neither does anyone with a friggin' brain.

7. They did this before his SOTU address, too. Another board I go to...
had a nutjob poster who said, "I have heard that he mentions 'I' 137 times in the speech!"

I said, It's good that some news gathering organizations are reporting the truly important stories. In equally pressing news, Michelle looks AMAZING!

Seriously, they want us to believe that Pres Obama is a megalomaniac. It's one of the narratives they want to build, like that he is a celebrity, etc. They will do and say anything: it wasn't enough to claim he was the most liberal member of the senate; they had to claim he was a socialist instead. When that didn't work, they had to compare him to Hitler and call him a fascist. And their rubes eat it up.
