I Me Mine: Obama Breaks His Own Record and References Himself 392 Times in New Berlin Speech

Ich bin ein Egoist.

President Obama was in Germany on Saturday, ostensibly to speak about "community leadership and civic engagement" on behalf of his eponymous Obama Foundation, but Berliners soon discovered his main topic of interest was ... Barack Obama.
Obama talking about himself in an almost obsessive manner is no new phenomenon, but today he shattered his own records. Over the course of a 90 minute townhall with "emerging leaders," Obama mentioned himself an eye-popping 392 times.

Here's the breakdown of his personal pronoun use (based on a rush transcript of the event):

"I" -- 274

"Me" -- 25

"My" -- 31

"I'" -- 9

"I'm" -- 41

"Myself" -- 7

"Obama" -- 5

The former president's comments began on his favorite topic: himself.

Supercut of all the narcissistic tics at the link.
