George Soros Calls Obama 'Greatest Disappointment,' He Doesn't 'Particularly Want To Be A Democrat'
Fox News ^ | 7-18-2017 | Benjamin Brown

Posted on 07/18/2018 6:29:53 AM PDT by blam

New York billionaire George Soros said former President Barack Obama was his “greatest disappointment,” during a wide-ranging interview with the New York Times published on Tuesday, while also appearing to distance himself from partisan politics.

The wealthy liberal donor, who was an early supporter of Obama’s 2008 presidential run, told The Times that Obama was “actually my greatest disappointment,” before he was reportedly prompted by an aide to clarify that he was dissatisfied on a “professional level,” rather than with his presidency.

At another part of the interview, he told the paper that Obama "closed the door" on him after he secured the presidency.

Soros, who was an early supporter of Obama in 2008, said the former president was his "greatest disappointment."

“He made one phone call thanking me for my support, which was meant to last for five minutes, and I engaged him, and he had to spend another three minutes with me, so I dragged it out to eight minutes,” he said.

Soros told the paper the he had hoped to have been consulted on economic and financial issues, and that Obama was known to “take his supporters for granted and to woo his opponents.” Soros, who also poured millions of dollars into Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential run, wouldn’t say if he would back Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the upcoming presidential election, but said when it comes to politics, “I don’t particularly want to be a Democrat.”

While speaking with The Times, Soros praised Arizona Sen. John McCain and said the main priority of his political activism was to promote bipartisanship – noting that Republicans on the far-right led him to become one of the top funders for the Democratic Party.

He'd rather declare as the full-blown marxist he is.

So he is a "John McCain" pretending to be the middle of the road while stabbing conservatives in the back.

I now hate Soros even more.

Wow. A greater disappointment than The Allies discovering and shutting down his beloved Nazi concentration camps?

“His” disappointment. Soros isn’t hiding the fact that he’s manipulating the strings. Many times the truth comes out when the end is near. One can only hope.

Soros is disappointed Obama didn’t facilitate the slaughter of conservatives as Soros did by dropping the dime on Jews in WWII.

I have always said Soros was a mid level player. A mobody with a lot of money and a sociopathic need to destroy lives.

Who was giving the commands to Oblather? Who is orchestrating the coup?

You can’t have it both ways; they both suck.

2 words, George:

A A [no, not Alcoholics Anonymous]

Sounds like GS had a slip of the tongue and is ‘clarifying’ before he gets called a racist and has some of the groups he bought and paid for rioting against him.

“Sounds like Soros is throwing O under the bus. Why now?:

BIG things connecting the dots coming out in the near future and the Red Tsunami coming in November.

Soros is going back to his cave to lick his wounds and regroup. We’ll NEVER be rid of this creep because he’s grooming his evil offspring to take his place!

Grrrr!

He doesn’t want to be a Democrat. It’s a huge step down from god.

He had eight years of being worshipped and the bobblehead media blindly accepting any bs that came out of his mouth.

wealthy liberal donor

By "liberal" they mean someone that will stomp a boot on your face forever--aka fascists.
