Neera Tanden, a former aide to both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, had this to say about the relationship of the two presidents:
Clinton, being Clinton, had plenty of advice in mind and was desperate to impart it. But for the first two years of Obama’s term, the phone calls Clinton kept expecting rarely came. “People say the reason Obama wouldn’t call Clinton is because he doesn’t like him,” observes Tanden. “The truth is, Obama doesn’t call anyone, and he’s not close to almost anyone. It’s stunning that he’s in politics, because he really doesn’t like people. My analogy is that it’s like becoming Bill Gates without liking computers.”
It's a revealing statement from Tanden, who "served as senior advisor for health reform at the Department of Health and Human Services, advising Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and working on President Barack Obama’s health reform team in the White House to pass the bill," according to her bio at the Center for American Progress. She is currently president and CEO of the liberal organization
Rush was saying she’d recanted that statement.
Hilarious.
I expect we’ll see a lot of Obama confidantes throwing him under the bus like this if he loses this election. Nobody spent time in the ‘80s singing the praises of Jimmy Carter.
I believe El-Rushbo has already read that she’s “recanted” her previous statements. Chicago eyes are upon her.
May we dump this clown and send him back to Kenya.
Yup, that’s K-E-N-Y-A for public school eddikated liberals.
Your guy is vapid fake.
Obama didn’t get where he is kissing babies. He got where he is screaming ‘racism’.
He only likes himself.
LOL! He doesn’t like peoplpe, but he sure likes it that people like him. Narcasistic man that he is.
I think what they meant to say was that he doesn’t like girls...
"It was the strawberries ..."
My take is that both Obama and Hillary are puppets for the communist cabal centered in Chicago but having powerful tentacles going to internationalists like the Rothchilds by way of such people as Soros(Obama) and the Rockefellers(Clintons). Hillary was told to step back because the time seemed ripe to stretch if not break the bounds of our Constitutional government.
in other news, spoiled, entitled, toddlers in adult bodies who have had "adult spousal status" since they were children are never happy and can never truly bond with anyone. Completely socially stunted.
The people he hates least are those who gladly open fat wallets to him and those who play a good round of basketball but are deferential enough not to block his jumpers too aggressively.
Hateful insults, such as his well-known middle finger salutes are brought forth from a well of ill will for his mother’s race.

Some want the power, but then there are some, like our Founding Fathers, who engage in politics because they are statesmen and know that the people need good leadership.
Reagan genuinely loved people, loved God, loved America, even loved his nemesis, Tip O;Neil. He was probably the most genial, level headed, sane, humble, ego-free, philanthropist to occupy the White House in U.S. History.
There were a few other great Presidents, but not very many who were great human beings.
He got where he is by getting his opponents disqualified (or letting them disqualify themselves).
Alice Palmer was kept off that ballot.
Blair Hull's and Jack Ryan's divorce papers were made public.
Alan Keyes didn't have a chance.
John McCain really didn't want to win.
Obama didn't need to scream much of anything. He got where he is because the machine was looking out for him.
If you really want to see politicians who've gotten ahead screaming racism, there are plenty of them out there.
