Secondarily, it probably has something to do with the quality of the speakers, and the measure of their substantive content...
Yea it does take longer when speakers are so narcissistic like Obama who used the personal pronoun "I" 119 times!
i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,
Geez how totally childish. Referencing himself 119 times out of a 4,148 word speech!
How many times did Obama refer to himself while praising Hillary at the DNC?
Just for fun, imagine what life will be like for Hillary Clinton if she should actually win the presidency. With Obama promising to break tradition for ex-presidents and hang out in Washington, D.C. after his term is over, how much advice will he publicly be giving her? It is no secret that theirs is a relationship of convenience, not personal affection of any sort.
