  George Will’s impression about Obama's self centered grammar is based on no discernible data.  Mark Liberman has published about 17 Language Log posts on this topic since early June 2009. Counting occurrences of I, me, my, and myself in presidential speeches and news conferences, Liberman rapidly discovered that President Obama uses these pronouns far less than his predecessors. George W. Bush’s speeches used the first-person singular pronouns 60 to 70 percent more than Obama does; Bill Clinton used them about 50 percent more.
