2. Great
With the arrogance we've all seen from the Repubs the past few days - in a month she'll be back. They are only going to get worse and worse. We've seen this from them before . . . like for 12 years starting in 1994. She'll be back when she realizes they think she's a toy for their corporate masters.

4. I Think She's a Liar then... when it comes to arrogance, the GOP defines the word
with their daily actions as they work for their wealthy lords like pathetic sniveling little suck-ups.

5. She's getting older and cranky.
Perhaps her reasoning skills are slipping or the T baggers have instilled some fear in her regarding dealth panels and all that crap.

20. Yep, her use of "arrogant" is a dead give-away to that.
It's one of the right's favorite buzz-words to describe our President, who has been anything but arrogant.

8. It is that uppity black man
Lets admit it.... he is not what most of America has been raised to expect from their minorities.

Minorities are supposed to fear the majorities. It is the way of the white man. How do I know this? Because I am one, I talk with them all the time, I do biz with them, and talk politics with them.

The white man feels entitled. The white man thinks he rules the world. In my more insane moments, even I believe that.

So sometimes when I see Obama, my perception is "Who the f does he think he is?"

I then remember.... he is smarter than I. More ambitious, has more friends, is richer, is a harder worker and he is younger.

This election, as a percentage, more old farts voted than young folks. Their base fears, racism and entitlement came to the fore and they voted to go back. They make me sick.

If you are white and arrogant, you're cool. But be a minority and you are uppity trouble maker.

I can't wait to see this shit end. But I doubt I will live that long.

All I can say to the oppressed minorities is: Stay united. Together, you can change things.
That's how the white man got where he is.

14. Notice when the talkiing heads are discussing issues..
they always go to the people with the least amount of income or resources. Notice if you talk about we citizens and what we need when its an EMERGENCY and you watch the media and the talking heads they tell us what the AMERICAN PEOPLE want and how we want to spend OUR MONEY.

16. If she had said 93 years I would have believed her but 40 - too round a number

Imagine the first time in history where somebody called CSPAN and misidentified themselves because they wanted to damage the other side.


Oh and there has never been as arrogant a campaign as the Republicans ran.


Never identified a single issue. Want to shrink government but won't identify a single program that is going to get cut.

17. Democrats are arrogant!!!!!!?????
What the HELL?????? I could care less what "those kind of people" say. If you want to define arrogant Nothing could be more arrogant as the s--t they expect us to believe. Like be good in school,respect your parents,grow up and go to college,work hard, and you can be president. But as soon as a Black Man did,Oh education is horrible, if you went to college and graduated you are now somehow an elitist and look down at average Americans,Universities are now re-education camps,give me a break!!!!!Arrogant yeah okay!!!!!:wtf:

18. ergo: she then got tired of her own arrogance.
she is full of shit.

I never understood the concept of claiming one thing then doing another. That is a typical repuke tactic.

She was never a Dem.

19. 'Arrogant'
That's the favorite word for people who just can't seem to admit that they just don't like someone.

It's not me. It's you. You're arrogant.
