Yeah, so what? We probably will again too, so what. Haven't the Russians, Germans, French, the British, and Chinese, the Japanese, etc... etc... acted arrogantly at sometime?

I know this may come as a shock to some, but we are human beings, which means we are imperfect, flawed and subject to all the failings of mankind. In other words were not perfect.

janelle !!! ... On The Mark !

May I add a few of these also to describe the absolute disgrace and embarrassment that it truly appears so many Americans are experiencing regarding " The One" and Crew !

These foolish folks ( "One Term Misery Bells" ) are very soon going to receive the"Big Voters Boot" out of the WH and rightly so !!!

Thanks / Old Sgt. Lamar

The level of arrogance it takes to think one is incapable of being arrogant makes me want to vomit on my shoe. This standing in a circle stroking our egos to the point of some kind of near sexual arousal over how damned humble we are? Please for God sake, learn some humility people.

An entire thread dedicated to American exceptionalism and I didn't start it this time.

I haven't seen Americans acting arrogant until Obama. I always say look at what a person is doing when he accuses others of doing something because he is probably doing it himself. Bingo---this happens.

Sexual what? I won't ask you what you are doing with that jab. LOL

I am saying we are humble, Obama is saying we are NOT.

Humility (adjectival form: humble) is the quality of being modest, reverential, even politely submissive, and never being arrogant

How are we humble?

As someone who has lived abroad for a long time, I can tell you that Obama has done absolutely nothing that would make him appear as arrogant as the Bush admin's crap. Rumsfeld on "old Europe" - anyone? Or "You are either with us or you are against us."

THAT was arrogant and it was that type of general attitude that made people abroad see the US in a very different and usually very negative light.

In that sense, Obama is absolutely right claiming that the US has acted arrogantly in the past. It has.

Flash for Obama----most people have national pride---nothing wrong with that.

So what does Obama want? He says we are arrogant but now when we need help from other nations he is not accepting because he thinks Americans can clean up the gulf ourselves from all of our modern technology and innovative people here---oh wait, he won't even listen to OUR people who are suggesting ideas.
