permit me to help

I've been watching the reporting on President Obama's first State of the Union address last night, and without exception, the right has been up in arms at how "churlish," "presumptuous," "arrogant," and "rude" he was for chiding the Supreme Court for their sell-out decision on campaign financing and for publicly calling out the republicans as the obstructionist dicks they have been for the last year.


Guys, I think the word you are looking for is "uppity."
