Over/Under--the Word "Unprecedented" in Obama's Speech...


Just wanted to put out the "official" line on the number of times President Obama will use the word "unprecedented" in his Oval Office speech tonight. Given his and his speechwriters seeming desire to portray everything that has happened during his presidency as unique, one time only disasters of a magnitude only he has been forced to deal with, the word has been far over exposed to the point of now being meaningless.


I am putting the over/under on its use at 5 times. If his over use of the word had not been so well documented in the past six months I would have gone higher. As well as counting the number of times he uses the word I will also be drinking one beer for each usage, both in preparation for tonight's Celtics-Lakers game and as the only way to not slit my wrists in viewing Obama's blabbering...
