Bill Kristol: Obama "Is An Arrogant Man" (VIDEO)

During the panel discussion on "Fox News Sunday" the topic turned to President Obama and the controversy surrounding the arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates. Unsurprisingly, Bill Kristol had a negative reaction to Obama's admission that he could have calibrated his words differently in his initial statement that the Cambridge police had acted "stupidly":

The President could have said, you know that was a stupid thing for me to say. But he didn't say that for some reason. You know, that would be too self-deprecating. And I think he is an arrogant man. And he feels entitled to pass judgment on Cambridge cops or on pediatricians.

I really don't like the way he smiles as he attacks his opponents. That is what you call "arrogance".

[phylliscooper1]

Oh, I see Mr. Kristol, if our President has an opinion, because he is entitled to one, just like the rest of us, his opinions are somehow arrogant, while your opinions are just the garden variety.

Arrogant? Trying to start a narrative, huh Bill?

Swing and a miss.

[applescruff]

No. An Arrogant Man is someone who has proven himself consistantly wrong and still believes his words have any relevance what so ever. That is Mr. Kristol. Cheney Cheerleader and advocate for everything involving foriegn wars and abuse of power.

It's not arrogant to think Republicans are stupid. In fact, it's the only rational conclusion.

[GreatTruthsSeeker]

He lives in the Republican up is down, bad is good world. He is a projectionist. I think he doth protest too much.

Code word...next this loser will be saying that the President is UPPITY. Crawl back under your rock Krystal.

Obama feels entitled to pass judgment on Cambridge cops or on pediatricians - and Kristol feels entitled to pass judgement on the president.

So what's the issue ?

[pspidey]

If that isn't projection I don't know what is.

[ForeverHopeful]

He certainly is not as ARROGANT AS GEORGE W BUSH!!! "the DECIDER"!

[JimLarkin]

did kristol arrogantly predict he'd last longer than a year at the NYT?

[philosopherkingtomas]

[dgventers]

Great, now liberals want to suppress free speech.

[flossophy]

What philosophy compels you to want to restrict speech, thomas?
