****See Update Below**** President Obama spoke yesterday at the 2014 U.S.-Africa Summit in Washington, D.C. "I want to thank," the president began. He continued: "Last year in South Africa, in Soweto," he said, "I held a town hall." Later, the president discussed Africa's expanding energy market: "I don’t want to just sustain this momentum, I want to up it." "I just want to close," he ultimately concluded -- having eventually referred to himself 68 times 97 times in a 44 minute appearance*. *Grabien staff calculated this number to the best of our adding ability.
