Does anyone understand the right wing talking point that Obama is arrogant?
I was visiting my right wing dad this summer, and he made the crack about Obama being "arrogant" a couple of times.
I have not been happy with Obama on many policies, but for the most part, I feel like he's struck the right public tone for his job, somewhere between gravitas and familiarity.
If anything, a lot of the time he has come off like a principal explaining himself to a school board that has the ability to fire him (especially when dealing with the right).
Is it just that he is black and it's arrogant of him to become president?
Do they have a wheel of insults they spin, and Fox News and talk radio will believe whatever the wheel says?
Or if anybody has the stomach to listen to right wing media, what evidence do they give for this talking point?
Barry is the most peevish, arrogant, childish president in living memory.

1. The dim often think the bright are arrogant because they can't keep up intellectually. Add racism in some cases and boom, there it is.
yes... I am sure that is it. ::)

12. I'm suspicious of any attacks based on people's emotional presentation unless it's blatantly obvious
That's all DU is...

8. President Obama has his head tilted back a lot when he talks, like the picture of Chuck Todd
on the main page. It used to be called "looking down you nose at someone". It is all body language. Most people don't know they are doing it.
Barry doesn't. He and the Mooch are all arrogance.

9. Yes. He is very smart and sometimes fails to hide that.
Stupid people find that "arrogant".
Meanwhile, other smart people tend to find it like a breath of fresh air.
Unfortunately there's a lot of stupid people.
Barry isn't anywhere near as intelligent as he likes to think he is. If he was he'd release all his academic transcripts.

16. I agree. On the other hand, Baby Bush won by appearing ignorant, and in '08, Palin was wildly
popular with the right because she appeared even more ignorant than Bush.

15. Its a dog whistle.
And they're mad because he has more intellect in his pinky fingernail then they possess as a whole.
ah.... no.

The primitives view Dear Leader as smart because they falsely believe themselves to be smart, and he's smarter than them, so to them he is smart. I flush things down the toilet that's smarter than every primitive combined, but I digress.

Poor question. If you were smart, you would already know that.
First, it's not a "talking point," it's an observation.
Second, there's plenty of evidence, but none of which you are willing to accept because you're biased and closed minded, so why would anyone bother? Besides, you're not intelligent enough to decide what is and isn't evidence, so to make the case to you would be a waste of time.
He's arrogant, he has no reason to be, and we recognize this fact. Your opinion and/or beliefs are irrelevant.

"I've got a pen and I've got a phone " sounds like a pretty arrogant way to say F.U. to a congress who won't bend to his every whim and desire.

"I won, Get used to it" plus the early middle finger salutes he'd give like a NYC_SKP under-the-radar Chillery slur.

So does "If Congress won't act...I will" and of course "You didn't build that"

Well that explains a lot of the left's attitude towards the rest of America who hate their Libtard ways.

Puhleeze! That imbecilic f'n clown can't formulate a single f'n sentence without a teleprompter. He sounds like a bumbling fool. I don't see intelligence when I see Obama; I see a dumbass.

And the dim often take mere arrogance for brilliance. I encountered a little thing I call "The illusion of competence" many times in the military and in the legal profession, where people who simply have a great familiarity with professional jargon are taken as professionally qualified, even though they are in fact dangerously stupid.

""We're not campaigning anymore," he told McCain. "The election's over."
Arrogant POS.

I will calm the waters.
I will cause the oceans to recede.
I will heal the planet.
That has to be not only the most arrogant attitude I have ever seen projected, but also the most delusional.

Precisely. I know some scarily clever people, the last word one would use to describe them is arrogant; they get frustrated with stupidity, and they talk and think very quickly. Dunderheads don't seem to be able to differentiate between that and utter condescension.

Yes. Excellent way to put it.

Well, a perfect example would be his remarks about those who oppose his disastrous Iran deal that he thinks he can do without senate approval.

Maybe this is why we oppose that deal. This was just released:

If Obama isn't a ****ing retard, DUmmies, it's by design. Pick one. It can't be anything other than those two. Iran was isolated, so don't give us that "deal or war" bullshit.

He sort of can. He only needs about a third of the Senate for it to pass, thanks to Congress giving him a blank check in advance it will not require the normal 2/3 majority that a treaty would, but only three-fourths of the Democrats to vote for it.

Just another example of Mitch McConnell betraying the voters.
