I can't help but think that if McCain did everything that Scaeagles finds irritating about Obama, he'd think it was brilliant. Especially if it was Rovian in origin.

Not in the least. I don't like McCain and have made that clear. But I don't like McCain for different reasons than I don't like Obama.

All presidents are arrogant, run on arrogance, and win on arrogance. That's what being President is. THE number one guy. Once again, just because Obama is honest about it, he gets flack.

Just one example: Tell me that "Read my lips, no new taxes" isn't arrogant. Even if he had stuck to it, even though I totally agreed with it at the time, if you think about it, he's saying "I won't let your congress raise taxes." All politicians run on "I am going to win, I am likable, I am going to fix this country, I know exactly what we need to do, I will do it, myself." It's all arrogance, it's all a shiny veneer, and it doesn't matter how they say it.

As for Obama making himself look presidential - sounds good to me. They always say, if you want a promotion, dress the part, act the part, no matter how lowly your current station, and people will believe you can do it. This is what he's doing. IMHO, those pundits that call him arrogant are unhappy that he's not following the usual route of even more pretense that oh, he's just a regular guy, he's just like you and me. (Yes I know he mixes that in - he has to - but I admire that that's not his entire appeal, like W's was.)

Apparently I must spread some mojo around, CP.

scaeagles · 08-06-2008, 10:21 AM

OH! Let me add that to my list of why I don't like McCain.

Will scaeagles be only the second person in history banned from the Daily Grind forum?!?!?

I'm voting for Alfred E. Newman.

It's Nephytys.

I'm not keen on the selective banning (but it ain't my board).

I belive she asked to have herself basically self banned from the daily grind so as not to be tempted.
