About that commencement address by Obamanation at the (captive) Air Force Academy on Wednesday..

In his usual modest fashion - BO used the word "I" 36 times. threw in two 'me's, while invoking 69 instances of "we" that were reminiscent of the Pope or the Queen's 'I' first person pronoun.

I'll bet those graduating upperclassmen thought their years of suffering hazing were over when they entered their second year.... a lesson learned, I reckon - with some POTUS's, it never ends.

I am reminded (by Ross Kaminsky) of one of George Will's more deliberate comments: "If you struck from Barack Obama's vocabulary the first-person singular pronoun, he would fall silent, which would be a mercy to us and a service to him, actually."

Go here for his whole article in American Spectator.
