Obama Uses Funeral Service to Talk About Himself

President Barack Obama used the funeral for Hawaii senator Daniel Inouye to talk about himself. In the short 1,600 word speech, Obama used the word “my” 21 times, “me” 12 times, and “I” 30 times.

More than the use of “I”, “me” and “my,” the whole speech just drips with self importance. Funeral speeches are generally supposed to be about the dead guy, not the speakers childhood bus trips across Kansas.

UPDATE: Even the shrill, shrieking lefties at Slate have figured this one out:

Today We Are Gathered … To Hear More About Me

Someone needs to tell Barack Obama—it must get particularly confusing this time of year—that his own birth is not Year One, the date around which all other events are understood.
