Obama Watch: Think W. Was Arrogant?

President Obama, writing about Republican opposition to his stimulus package, and the Republican urge for tax cuts, said this:

"I reject these theories and so did the American people when they went to the polls in November and voted resoundingly for change."

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Obama got 53% of the vote. Not resounding by any stretch of the word "resounding."

This is the kind of arrogance that helped garner the last White House occupant the lowest approval ratings for a president ever. I think the American people have a lower tolerance for this sort of attitude on the part of their elected officials. Keep it up, Mr. Obama, and you will be a one term president. And even that one term will be too long for the 47% of us who didn't vote for you.
