So no one ever called Bush or Kerry "arrogant"?

Kerry was "elite" not arrogant; and Bush was called arrogant in the campaign (just in his actions in office).

But I'm sure you can find a "nuance" between "reaching above his station" and answering questions that are "above his pay grade."

Yes I could but it would be wasted on you. You only believe in nuance when it's YOUR nuance.

Ten, does it cheese you off that a black man will be the American president before a smarter, more deserving Asian?

"Blatant in the way it's being twisted into some sort of racist statement."

No. In the South, "reaching above his station" was the polite way to criticize a Negro who acted white. If you were less polite, he or she was "uppity" or "doesn't know their place".
