Arrogance in the second term

Second terms are often characterized by arrogance. Bush’s obnoxious swagger and smirk are nothing new. In fact, this administration’s arrogance in the first term, taken in the context of actually losing the popular vote, was amazing in itself. With The Mandate in play in the second term watch out! We will see some seriously arrogant moves…but with arrogance can come sloppiness. Kerik’s botched nomination may be an example of the latter. Keep posted.
