How Arrogant!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Ok, I know I'm going to get bashed for this because there are just way too many Bush supporters here, but this just galls me to no end. And you all know I normally don't get into these political discussions, but I just can't help it this time.

I've always thought Bush was arrogant. When you hear people overseas describing the "arrogant Americans" I think Bush is the epitome of that expression. And last night was no exception, and, as a matter of fact, he really just went overboard with it.

I'm talking about when he invited the press into the White House - for what, to watch him gloat and prance around and preen in front of the cameras. "I know I'm going to win." Well, how arrogant can you get? No wonder the rest of the world hates us when this is how we are represented....

A little modesty never hurt anyone.

I got upset when he did that too. I was trying to eat at the time and wanted to vomit my food on him!

I know what you mean Aly. He's just so smug he makes me sick!

I am a Bush supporter, and I must say that he does get arrogant, but doesn't Kerry too? Kerry isn't all modesty either. But I always thought that there were more Kerry supporters than Bush supporters here. Maybe I am wrong.

According to the poll taken in General, yes there are more Kerry supporters here. But what I said is that there are way too many Bush supporters here, not that there are more Bush supporters than Kerry supporters.

And if he said, "I'm not really too sure, I think Senator Kerry may win", you would be making fun of him for being a weak leader and who would want someone as President who isn't even confident in himself.

Don't you think you guys are going just a touch overboard? Sure, I'm a Bush supporter but when I heard John Edwards say last night, "We've waited a long time for this victory, we can wait one more night" I sure didn't think he was being arrogant. I thought he was acting like a normal political figure running for office.

It seemed like it before, but now Bush supporters are coming out of the woodwork to comment. I'm not sure why they've waited Although most of the polls on this site did have more people voting for Kerry. Who knows!

Actually, it's not what he said. It's the fact that he invited the press in, which is highly unprecedented (sp?). Ok guys, come on in so you can watch me gloat.

I'm not say who I voted for but confidence some times gets confused with arriogant. I gave up watching ads and debates I got in to the voting records of both and made my decision based on the record not mouthing or media.

Omg.. Bush IS arrogant lol. I totally agree with you and Aly. He only does things in HIS own interest, it seems to me a lot of times. -.-'
*sighs*
About half of the American population, as well as many OTHER countries, are very scared right now...

EXACTLY. I have no problem with him going around saying he's going to win. But he did something so stupid that is completely unprecedented. Even the reporters were surprised and didn't quite know what was going on!

Okay, but I still don't get it. If Clinton had invited the press in during his second-term election night, I wouldn't have cared. I totally know how it feels to have someone in office that you abhor, but it just looks to me that some Kerry supporters on here are reeeeeeeeeeaching for more things to hate about him and it's coming off as a little junior-high-catty-girlish. Sorry.

Ok everybody, I know I started this thread, but I have to get to work, and thinking about all this just gets me sooo aggrivated, so I'm going to return to my usual MO of staying out of all the political debates here. You now know my opinions - and frankly, who cares, because that's all they are is my opinions. So continue on with the thread if you want, but more than likely I will refrain from posting anymore.

Corinna, good for you! I wish more people would do the same instead of listening to all the rhetoric.

Tubby & Peanut's Mom, I am in complete agreement with you. Humility is a quality he seriously needs to develop ESPECIALLY as a Christian.

Well said, Debbie!

I think people across the world can see what kind of a person he is .... and it seems, about half the Americans. How sad that he's in charge for the next 4 years!
