C2 She has that "feminist attitude" that a lot of men have difficult with.. She is one strong woman though I admire and appreciate strong women I also feel that Hillary has got to eat a little humble pie occasionally..It would help her image. And she needs to work on that to attract those who resent her How do some of the woman who post here feel about that ? There is a lot of prejudice here as those who don't like her see her in the way you do. Mrs.Kerry had some of the same brusqueness's that I am sure many men and some woman did not appreciate. Laura Bush on the other hand is an asset to George in that department. Every man's dream woman... along side, not out in front. The perfect mate for a president...

my response clearly stated that it was not intended to be comprehensive I noticed. But it's still not satisfactory not because it's not comprehensive (broad enough) but because it doesn't work linearly given that it's not a factor that's unique or even distinctive to this particular set of politicians. Although I have never considered Bill arrogant, Hillary positively reeks of it. I started to offer a potential explanation, then decided against it to give you a chance to reconsider. My suggestion would have been attitude, specifically arrogance, broadly defined. Bill may not display arrogance in classic way but there are similar elements in his charming bad boy style. I react more against smarminess and self-righteousness in politicians. And then there's Bush's more classic arrogance. These all bother us because they combine our resentment of the airs put on and offend our sense of justice that they're getting away with a fraud, although the frauds are not quite the same ones. With Bill it was the sleeziness under the charm. With Bush it's the incompetence behind the swagger. That these "frauds" have "blind," enthusiastic supporters produces anger. IMO.
