Presidential Ego
January 23, 2009 American Politics 3 CommentsBy Arran Gold
The two things that leftist bloggers repeatedly commented on when mentioning Bush, was his arrogance and ego. It seems we will be seeing that in prodigious quantities with Obama.
Can anybody recall Bush being this dismissive toward Democrats?
President Obama listened to Republican gripes about his stimulus package during a meeting with congressional leaders Friday morning – but he also left no doubt about who’s in charge of these negotiations. “I won,” Obama noted matter-of-factly, according to sources familiar with the conversation.
This sort of behaviour is nothing new. One saw similar thin-skinned behaviour last year.
He notes that Barack Obama’s campaign limited cooperation with the magazine when Newsweek ran a cover photo of arugula last spring to symbolize his elitist image.
