I, Me, Me, Mine

I'm told that the only time Dwight Eisenhower used the personal pronoun "I" in his announcement of the D-day invasion, was to tell his troops "I am very proud of you"

Funny, I emailed a friend recently who sent me a speech by Obama about the Osama kill "I think Obama uses the word 'I' more in 8 minutes than BUsh did in 8 YEARS"

I think it's the sign of a REAL MAN to not constantly blow his own horn and to recognize that a president does NOTHING alone.......and, if he did, it's still for our country, not HIM.
But, alas...this president's a whole other breed.

oops! That's what I get for commenting on your text before seeing your link.
Ah, well. Let me just say then "I AGREE" :-)

Oh! Then it's not just me. ;-)

The "I" is bad enough, what's worse is trying to determine which "We" he's using half the time. Some one should point out to him that the collective "We" are not amused.

Did you hear that Obama said not long ago, in reference to our troops, "Serve on my behalf"?

The man's ego is insufferable!
