Former President Barack Obama visited The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Friday
to accept the school’s ethics in government award, and to offer his take on “the state of
our democracy.”
And while Obama found plenty of time to denigrate Republicans for allegedly stoking fear
during these “dangerous” and “extraordinary times,” he also dedicated a lot of his speech
to patting himself on the back for everything from the improving economy to supposedly helping
to heal the country’s racial divisions.
All told, the former president referred to himself – I, My, Me – more than 102 times in about
64 minutes, while simultaneously engaging in the type political pot shots he criticized Republicans for.
Thankfully another thing that will never change, he'll never be president again.
