Turd Blossom is trying to paint Obama as being arrogant!
And of course, the media is eating up! Quoting Rove as if he was the walking bible. If Mr. Rove thinks Obama is arrogant, how about when a disaster hit, Turd Blossom's "clay figure" flew over New Orleans, after partying with John McCain. While, Barack Obama was busy loading sand bags in Quincy, Illinois.

<<snip>>
"I will say yes, I do think Barack Obama is arrogant," Rove said Tuesday night on Fox News, where he's a contributor.

Rove's line of attack started a day earlier when ABC News quoted him telling Republicans that Obama is "coolly arrogant."

"Even if you never met him, you know this guy," he said at a Capitol Hill breakfast, according to ABC. "He's the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone."

1. Republicans are the masters of Freudian projection
Why don't they just change their name to the Freudian Projectionist party?

2. If they are not picking NITs...then they are making BS talking points
Rove should look into the mirror sometimes....

Then again the mirror might fracture..........

9. Hillary Clinton was constantly called arrogant.
And, like Obama, she is.

You don't run for prez as a black man - let alone as one as young as he is - or as the first female candidate and NOT be arrogant. It comes with the turf.

8. Because presidential candidates ARE arrogant!
Obama had his own version of the Prez seal made up - THAT's arrogant!

It's a quality all good presidents have.

10. How could you seek to be the most powerful person in the world
and not be arrogant? Why are people always so astonished by arrogant politicians, especially presidential candidates?

11. People here are fawns in the wood if they think ALL these candidates ...
are not arrogant!

They were all voted "most likely to succeed," etc.

TR was arrogant.
Taft was arrogant.
Wilson was Arrogant.
Harding was arrogant.
Coolidge was not.
Hoover was.
FDR is the King of Arrogance. Someone once said to ER that he thought FDR was the most selfish, self-centered man he'd ever met. She paused for a moment and said, "yeah, well, you have to be if you're going to be president."
Trumen was arrogant.
Eisenhower was arrogant.
JFK was uber-arrogant.
LBJ was uber-arrogant.
Nixon was arrogant.
Ford was not.
Carter sometimes was.

You get the idea.
