re: #175 reine.de.tout

It takes a certain type of ego to run for public office; and anyone who runs for public office has at least a bit of that ego.

I think your other points are right on target.

I will admit that it grates on me to hear a speech by anybody that uses a lot of “I” and “we”. But I think Obama did it more often during the campaign than he does now. Bill Clinton, I think is the one who takes the prize for using “I” and “we”. I reached a point where I thought if I heard Clinton or Hillary say ‘We are working very hard …” one more time, I would scream.

how do you focus on the single words and not the full content of the speeches?
