[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Over/Under on Obama's use of "I" in tonight's speech?

That's my over/under line on how many times Obama makes Syria about him and his foreign policy prowess. I could be way, way under, of course. What's your guess?

WAYYYY under, and he will stutter on I more than once. Each counts, as it is a narcissistic thing and not a speech impediment.

"I wanted to strike Syria to protect America's interest and security to secure the chemical weapons... However he American people and Congress voted not to.". "the loss of face to the nation is irreparable, and unless we Strie now, we will no longer be the greatest nation on Earth."

"Let me be clear... (stern look into camera followed by dramatic pause) I blame the international red line, the UN, Congress and the average citizen for failing to support my goals of preventing further loss of life of innocent Syrian children...". "those innocent children could be my sons and daughters... And yours"

Something along those lines I am sure since he always has to blame someone else when he does not get his way

How sad is it that Russia pulled his punk card.

God Bless Texas!

How the hell can he still be going after Syria? Didn't they surrender their weapons? So now he is advocating for attacking not only a soverign nation, but an unarmed one as well? And why do I know that his liberal idiot minions will follow him right through the gate of hell.

You call an AR a weapon of war?
