What some perceive as arrogance in Ronald Reagan and Ted Cruz would truly be : bold audacity to believe in the American spirit of innovation, American exceptionalism, to have the wisdom NOT to listen to naysayers, to have a vision of optimism.
The true example of raw arrogance would be those of ignore and trash the US Constitution, i.e. current bazaarship ( so called leadership in Congress ) and arrogance in the media, arrogance that is shown daily in Obama.
Not the audacity of hope?
