During his White House homecoming speech on Tuesday, former (?) President Barack Obama unsurprisingly mentioned himself 33 times.
Obama used the words “I,” “I’m,” “me,” and “my” 33 times in a speech focused on the passage of the Affordable Care Act, according to a TVEyes transcription software search of MSNBC. He used “I” alone 20 times while standing next to puppet president Joe Biden and our vapid shell of a Vice President, Kamala Harris.
“So when President Biden said he was not going to just celebrate the ACA but also announce actions that would make it even better, I had to show up,” Obama said. “Members of Congress took courageous votes, including some who knew that their vote would likely cost them their seat. And the night we passed the ACA — I’ve said it before — it was a high point of my time here, because it reminded me and reminded us of what is possible.”
“Everybody feels frustrated sometimes about what takes place in this town. Progress feels way too slow,” Obama said. “But what the [ACA] shows is that, if you are driven by the core idea that together we can improve … if you stay with it and are willing to work through the obstacles and the criticism and continually improve where you fall short — you can make America better.”
After the event was over, a crowd surrounded Obama while Biden appeared to wander around looking for someone or for something to do. The Republican National Committee’s research team tweeted the video with the caption “Literally no one wants to talk to Joe Biden.”
