Obama’s SOTU: Uniting the Country…through Pronouns? "Obama’s 2011 State of the Union incorporated the 2nd largest percentage of first-person plural pronouns since FDR – one year after his 2010 Address delivered the 7th largest use of first-person singular pronouns
"It is sometimes said that politicians – particularly those who attain the highest levels of elected office like that of the presidency – have unusually large egos.
"But when the President of the United States holds court before tens of millions of Americans in important speeches such as the State of the Union Address, it is usually in his best interest to check that ego at the podium, and talk about the nation, not himself." . . ,
