For some reason when talking to non liberal's or conservatives about the Obama administration the words "arrogance" "extravagance" and "excess" inevitably come up.  And now with increasing frequency these same words are being used across the Atlantic in Europe where our president is not viewed in a very good light.

I recently read an article on TELEGRAPH.co.uk where the writer Nile Gardiner wrote about how the Obama presidency increasingly resembles a modern day Ancient Regime: Extravagant and out of touch with the American people.  Take a look at the article and let me know what YOU think? I think the writer is dead on!
