Why is the word "arrogant" brandied about quite often in reference to the IL senator? I've heard it recently at a PBS round table of reporters. One of them mentioned that some senators view Obama as "lazy, ill prepared and a tad arrogant". They were mainly referring to his performance in committees. I have also been reading it lately in newspapers, nothing major but it has been used frequently nonetheless.

Months ago, when Obama started gaining more visibility, I studied him with curiosity and came away with that same impression: the man has a certain cockiness and arrogance about him that, to me at least, it's off putting.
