I noticed Faux News is spending time today on Obama comment that US has been "arrogant"
in the past. They had on there expert analyst--John Bolton--naturally in a FAUX world the US is always right and never arrogant. The world must look up to us because we are mightier than they are. Thank goodness we have a change of tone today--even if FAUX doesn't like it.

1. Americans believe more strongly than anything else that they should never admit to being wrong...
So this is a good strategy for fox news.

3. FOX News merely plays to its house...
Unfortunately, it's an outhouse.

6. IIRC, GW Hoover said the U.S. had been arrogant.
Naturally, Faux "news" chooses to ignore that.

8. Yeah, we need someone humble like Dick Cheney.
With level-headed commentators like Limbaugh and Hannity cheering him on.
Obama is arrogant, but Cheney is not. And the sun will rise in the west
tomorrow morning, too.

13. And they leave out the next few sentences, where Obama says that the US...
has done a lot of good for them too, and that shouldn't be forgotten. It is the usual MO from Faux, cut out what you don't want your viewers to hear.
