I know there is an objection to 'cogito ergo sum' (I think, therefore I am), that has to do with only being able to be sure that "There is thinking going on" and not being sure about the "I"....
I can't remember the name of this objection, I know it bears the name of the person who came up with it, and i think it begins with an L.
any elaboration on the objection is welcomed as well

Looks like it's Georg Lichtenberg. I found that on wikipedia (first "Source" below).
I just did a Yahoo! web search with the query { cogito objection } and I got a lot of results that appear to address this. The second "Source" below is a link that will automatically run that search for you when you click on it.
