Arrogant Obama?

Lately in the news, America is leeching off of the latest Obama story; “Obama is arrogant”. Who cares! America is great at trying to break down people as they get to be famous, and transforming them into something to laugh about. Shows such as The Daily Show, Saturday Night Live, and The Tonight Show undermine people’s abilities. For the past months Saturday Night Live, has opened with some sort of election routine, but now even CNN is reporting Obama’s mistake of being cocky. Videos of Obama speaking as if he already has his place in the oval office, and his very own presidential seal with his face and his presidential slogans underneath it written in Latin. I think this is an appropriate mindset for anyone who wants to win or do well at something. It is said that you envision what you want before you set out to do something then you act as if you already do. Or do what is necessary to get to where you want. An arrogant attitude is sometimes mandatory just to relieve some of the stress that has been going on. Now I am not an Obama supporter by any stretch of the imagination, but he has been working towards the election non-stop for almost (if not) a year already. We need to give the guy a break. He is only human. Lay off his back and everyone else’s for that matter. The public should understand by now that even celebrities get into some troubles every now and then. Of course some more than others, but no one is perfect. And it is none of our business how others live their lives or their ignorance. We get so hung about trying to find mistakes with the candidates that we don’t even know what their policies are. Most people just vote about what they hear in the media and who is cocky, who has the better-looking wife, who makes the most money, etc. The mass media should such as CNN should focus more on giving us the candidates’ policies and lay off the worthless news.
