Another thing- much has been said about Obama being 'arrogant', etc. I think it's bull****, much along the lines of confident, ambitious women who get labeled 'b i t c h e s' while their male peers are referred to as 'take-charge' or 'self-assured', etc. The man is articulate, intelligent and doesn't drag his knuckles when he walks, which I know is a huge departure from our current leader. It's a nice change.

So here we go.....criticism of Obama is seen as something akin to sexism (or racism) and can't be legitimate polciy wise.

Sorry, but anyone who claims to be the symbol of American greatness has some issues with arrogance. Some are fine with it, Alex even expects it.

Yes, he is certainly articulate and intelligent. For someone so taken aback by what you view as personal attacks against Obama, you sure hand them down to the current administration without much of a thought.

I have precedent on my side. You don't.

The criticism has nothing to do with Obama's policy. It is an ad hominem attack.
