President Obama referred to himself 75 times in his farewell address Tuesday night, according to a review of his prepared remarks by The Daily Caller.

Obama heavily promoted the speech, penning a blog post about it and appearing in a promotional video in the days leading up to the address.

The president made a habit of focusing large chunks of his speeches on himself during his eight years in office.

Last July, for example, he mentioned himself 45 times over the course of a speech given at a speech for the slain Dallas police officers. (RELATED: Obama Mentions Himself 45 Times During Memorial Speech For Dallas Officers)

In his blog post promoting the speech, Obama encouraged Americans to tune in “because, for me, it’s always been about you.”

the daily caller? It might as well have come from faux news.

really? and because its the daily caller its what? inaccurate? then correct the story.

or coming from a perspective you don't agree with? then share your own perspective that still addresses the content.

otherwise, at least i'll assume, as indicated by your post and oh so clever "faux news" moniker, youre just another brain dead liberal incapable of critical thought and there are already too many of them here.

A big deal has been made by the Daily Caller about how many times President Obama mentioned himself in his farewell speech. It was broken down like this:

I.....33 times
My.....20 times
Me.....10 times
I'm or I've.....12 times

That is a total of 75 times in approximately 51 minutes. That averages out to approximately 1.47 times per minute.

So I went to Ex President George W. Bush's farewell address. He only spoke for about 13 minutes. Using the same I, My, Me, and I'm or I've criteria I counted how many times he used those same words. It worked out to this:

I.....33 times
My.....6 times
me.....4 times
I'm or I've.....1 time

That is a total of 44 times in approximately 13 minutes, which works out to approximately 3.38 times per minute.

Somehow Bush's 3.38 times per minute was okay, but Obama's 1.47 times per minute was worth whining about.
