Which Billionaire Says Obama Is Most ‘Arrogant’ Man He Ever Met?

You know how billionaires like to gab.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg apparently believes President Obama ranks up there on the arrogant quotient. This according to a recent interview with Rupert Murdoch.
According to Murdoch, Bloomberg said, “I never have met in my life such an arrogant man,” after returning from a day of golfing with the President in late August.
ABC News reporter Jake Tapper notes the contrast with the pool report:
“The pool report at the time said that ‘We are told Bloomberg and Obama talked in the clubhouse for about 15 mins about the economy. They then went to the driving range.’
Apparently – at least from a second-hand report – the Obama-Bloomberg convo could have gone better.”
Bloomberg described the conversation he had with Obama as “verbal ping-pong,” Murdoch said in a recent interview with the Australian Financial review.
Bloomberg also described the day of golf with the President as “pleasant” according to Murdoch.
Murdoch also said Obama “might make great speeches but doesn’t get things done and doesn’t listen to anybody,” according to an excerpt of the interview published by The Age.
Murdoch, who was born in Australia, is the founder and chief executive officer of News Corporation which owns many media outlets including Fox News Channel.
Bloomberg and Murdoch have recently rallied together for federal immigration reform through the group Bloomberg started, Partnership for a New American Economy.

Posted on June 1, 2012 at 10:00amOld fireside proverb: “It takes one to know one”. If you live in New York you probably recognize your mayor just told you what you can buy or cannot. Correct? The story here is not about arrogance. It is about arrogance among the arrogant. True story at bottom of article mentioning Partnership for a New America.

Check it out Partnership for a New America and who the partners are. Might be surprised. It surprised me. But then if you combine money and arrogance how incredibly smart you must be. Lest they forget we Americans don’t live in Egypt nor are they Pharoahs.

Posted on November 6, 2010 at 4:08pmObama is an actor who really believes he is whom he decided to play and that is God.
Report Post »Obama thought America needed a God so he stepped forward to take on the role. He made a miscue and took to the stage to soon thinking everyone was ready for him, after all America was tuned into the highly rated ‘American Idol’ TV show at that time in America’s history, and he thought he could do them all one better. That’s why he desperately needs the TelePrompTer, it serves him in the same way cue cards serve Jay Leno or David Letterman.
Since the theater Obama‘s working in is the United States of America and he’s noticed the audience is now leaving and the theater house is financially dying at the box office, with Big Ben Bernache one of his stooges at the FED printing more and more cheaper priced tickets, Obama the supreme actor that he thinks he is in his own head, a God amongst men, Obama baby has taken his entourage and theatrical show abroad, to entertain a newer audience hoping it will bring him back some fabulous reviews and a bigger supportive audience for him when he returns back home.
The trouble is the entire country can now see through him and the false god emperor is naked with no clothes on anymore, not even his cheap suit. Finis.

Report Post »Obama IS the little horn. The judas goat, conscripted to lead the sheep into slaughter. All the economic problems we are facing have been carefully constructed. Obama’s solutions have been formulated to aggravate the situation, and populace and deepen the financial pit that we are in. The wealth IS gone….where is it?. It did not disappear. It has been stolen. This is the biggest con that has ever been perpetrated in the history of the world.
All of this has been done because the U.S. is an armed and Christian nation! The demons that run the show, know Christ, and are aware that we won’t “roll over”, like so many nations have.
If you look back at everything that Obama has done in office, you can see that it all has been to WEAKEN the U.S.,and set us up for hostile takeover. The entire scenario is much more than Obama could have ever come up with ,himself, and if true, proves conspiracy beyond any that has ever existed(in this age, anyway.)
The New world order is an idea that has been “a work in progress” for a century or more and brought to the 21st century by demonic design. Ultimately, the idea is to get the world population down to manageable numbers, and to take control and ownership of the world’s resources.
Have you ever listened to Obama and wondered if he’s stupid? That is not stupidity, it is treachery.
The reason that most of us can’t find common ground with him or his agenda, is because it does not make any kind of sense. It looks counter intuitive, because it is. This administration has caused confusion, purposely, to camoflage, and disguise the true intent of the REAL power behind the oval office. The puppet masters pulling Obama & Co’s strings are not American….Hell, I don’t even think they qualify as HUMAN.

Posted on November 6, 2010 at 4:40pmArrogance: offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride.
Report Post »Yeepp, that pretty much defines Obama and many liberals in the media who work hard and overtime to cover his hindquarters. The sad part is history is littered with arrogant rulers who greatly damaged their countries because they couldn’t be told anything. They knew what was best and surrounded themselves with yes men. Consider how the miserable failure of socialistic policies in Europe is in his face, yet what does he do? Step back and say we don’t want to go down that road. By no means! It’s full speed ahead for fundamental change to socialist communism! That attitude seems to come under ‘overbearing pride.’ Not just pride in himself, but pride in a failed ideology he embraces, but can’t publicly endorse in clear terms because of the consequences. Regardless, the truth will become known to more and more Americans about who they’ve elected. As more news media reporters reveal what their true, core political views are and the public hears their ardent support for him, those that have not put two and two together will.

IQ does not mean much in some circumstances. Especially where a person is lacking in common sense, wisdom, understanding, emotions (positive ones such as comapssion), honesty, integrity, morality, and honor.
Of course these mostly fit Mr Obama to a letter for having none. His IQ may be the only redeeming example he has left – as in what not to become for anyone in the future.

Posted on November 6, 2010 at 5:23pmWhat? President Obama is an arrogant man? He’s not only arrogant but also is extremely conceited or just plain “full of himself”. That’s no big surprise to most of us. He has been groomed all his life by himself and others to be the crowned KING OF AMERICA. In his eyes, America needs a major and complete overhaul starting with the Constitution that just doesn’t address the problems of today like it should. He thinks he could write a better document that would insure redistributive change. It makes complete sense to him to take the money away from those who earned it and give it to those that haven’t earned it. Seems like this “redistributive change” was called “communism” just a few years ago and was labeled as being evil. Now according to the POTUS, it’s the right thing to do and his fundamental remaking of America from a democratic and capitalistic society into a progressive and socialistic eutopia is his destiny. Arrogant, yes, but there are other words that better describe Barrack Hussein Obama, take you pick !

But the intermediary, Bloomberg, has liberal beliefs (doesn’t hate Muslims for example) and this confuses me. Do I want to accept the word of someone who loves the idea of Muslim mosque on the sacred ground of 9-11? Or do I want to believe his second hand story of Murdoch, who is God to Beck’s Christ, at least in terms of the organizational structure of FOX.
I’m going with my gut folks. I think Obama was arrogant, in contrast to every other American President and politician. Jesus was right: the meek will inherent the Earth. But Obama is the exception. He has the character flaw of being arrogant, at least according to a liberal quoting FOX.
