Karl Rove says Barack Obama is arrogant.

We've heard that; we've heard the pejorative "arrogant" before. When I say "we" I mean those of us who are "others" in America; people of color. Minorities. Women. We hear the word all the time from a select section of privileged white guys; the codifying they use when they fear the silver spoons are about to be snatched from their lily palaces: "Those people... How dare they think they can work jobs like ours or live in neighborhoods like ours or send their children to school with ours? Those people are just so damn arrogant."

Arrogant, of course, is a euphemism. In the monochromatic bunkers from which old-schoolers cling to power the true word they use is "uppity" when hurled at blacks. It's the "B-word" for women. I'm not sure what the Rovian ilk use for the Latinos and Asian-Americans who dare claim their due, but I'm sure it's equally as derisive and wielded with sick pleasure.

Arrogant?

The only arrogance Obama is guilty of is the same "Unforgivable Blackness" so many exceptional people of color have demonstrated throughout the history of this country: a refusal to bend to the will of the Retro Guard. To Rove, to the neocons such attitude is wholly unacceptable. Back in the day such "arrogance" was met with a strong rope and tall branch, and anyone who believes that analogy to be too harsh, read here how Roy Bryant and J.W.Milam dealt with the arrogance of 13 year old Emmett Till.

But in this day and age Karl Rove is reduced to making statements which he does not even have the meat to own up to.

Nevertheless, speaking of Obama's "arrogance" Rove is quoted as saying: "Even if you never met (Obama), you know this guy. He's the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone."

Really, Mr. Rove? Do you really wish to go there? I will give you the cigarette. Obama did smoke. I will give you the beautiful date. Beyond being a Harvard-educated lawyer, Michelle Obama is a beautiful woman. But I would bet the farm -- and I have a farm to bet -- that George Bush has been in more country clubs than Barack Obama. I would easily take the line on who's had more cocktails in their day. And isn't it the current president who loves to slap a condescending nickname on everyone?

And is there anything more arrogant, Mr. Rove, than ignoring the international community, the United Nations, weapons inspectors on the ground, very facts themselves, to invade a nation because you and a small cadre believe it's the right thing to do? Is there anything more arrogant than the belief that after such an invasion we as the occupying nation will be welcomed as liberators? Is there anything more arrogant than slapping on a flight suit, playing like you're the one landing on a carrier deck, making nice for the cameras before that infamous banner while tens of thousands of troops are left behind to fight, and four thousand (and counting) are left to die?

Arrogant?

It's nothing but hubris for the neocons to believe they can win the election on that one.

I'm with Ridley on everything but the "HUBRIS". These bozos are BONEHEADS incapable of strategizing such a colossal failure resulting in GIGA PROFITS for the ILLUMINATI!!!

They are just marionettes in the Napoleonic ROTHSCHILD FRB BILDERBERG WTO flying circus.

What makes you think that even the EXXON BOARD has the ability to control the MARKET MAKERS & MONEY MANAGERS? (Acually they and their brothers in Carlyle Group, DO have that kind of power.) Dont tell me you think the wench on MSnbc's husband Greenspan had any say in the FORECLOSURE AVALANCHE that Consuelo Mack on PBS still doesn't recognize as a RECESSION.

TRY AGAIN PMC OWNED MSMedia and ultra low profile C-Span DoD MOCKINGBIRDS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carlin was right. The EARTH will survive despite the EXTINCTION of "humanity" as Nostradamus portended per the continuing production of FISSILE material that HEROIN money launders have EASY ACCESS to thanks to the SHADOW GOVT who manage MERCHANT VESSELS and CHARTER JETS that DONT SCREEN VIP passengers EVER, not to mention CIA DIPLOMATIC POUCHES to RENDITION SITES which NO CONGRESS or CINC has a clue about, DELIBERATELY!!!

And you can take that to your SCOTUS Opus Dei Skull & Bones Dubai Halliburton Lichtenstein Caymans VATICAN BANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just listen to Hartmann and DO NOTHING!!!! The french and spaniard DIRECT ACTION is just TOO HARD for MORONIC the United Staitian Sheeple, while GI's on STOP LOSS, crippled or in Leavenworth after being denied CO status having killed enough NONCOMBATANTS by MISTAKE.
