[1]Obama the unlearned one traveled to Europe to tell the unwashed masses that his fellow American were ‘arrogant’. Philip Sherwell, Telegraph [2] (UK):
His references to American “arrogance” and its “dismissive” attitude were viewed by some commentators as an unwarranted attack on his homeland while travelling abroad.
In a speech in France, a country that has been a bastion of anti-US sentiment in recent years, the President said: “In America, there is a failure to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.
We were arrogant in 1775 [3]. 1944 [4], and 1947 [5]. Ronald Reagan was arrogant, albeit with an Irish charm when said [6]:
General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall![9]
If it were not for us f*ck*ng arrogants Americans, those socialist scum in France would be speaking German today and living is slums. Fifty million Iraqi woold not be free today.
Gordon Sinclair, from our good friends to the North, didn’t quite use the word arrogant in his 1973 broadcast [7], Maybe he should have. We are Americans, We are proud. We are arrogant. Get used to get. Thumbs up Gordy.
