As a so called 'European', I'm kind of shocked/dubious that this would also be acceptable in American culture.
My guess is most people would agree that if you put your feet on the table and take credit where it isn't due then you're probably an ahole. But this is a stereotype of the typical 'jerk'.
It's the jerks that 'play the game' and aren't necessarily blatant that do (perhaps unfairly) well.
