<<Trust me, I like Obama A LOT but I think that calling Obama cocky is just calling him cocky unless you know the guy who said it before is a racist.>>
I'd agree with you if the guy JUST called him cocky. In fact, the guy said he wouldn't vote for him because he was cocky.
Cockiness never turned off anyone on a politician. JFK was cocky and the people loved him. FDR was cocky AND an "elitist" too. But OBAMA turned this guy off for only one reason important enough to mention - - cockiness. Draw your own conclusions, Brass - - I've drawn mine.
