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 Obamas 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 Clintons 2016 presidential run, wouldnt say if he would back Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the upcoming presidential election, but said when it comes to politics, I dont 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.

I’ll bet if Obama had a son he would like him to be just like Soros.
BS - Hes only throwing Obama under the bus because hes outlived Soros usefulness. Obama happily encouraged Soros and Im sure the evidence will show that Soros was a regular visitor to the White House.
Obama NEVER played to his opponents (we won, elections mean things) but Obama was and is only out for himself, not a statesman and Im sure thats Soros problem. (Clintons are also out for themselves but theyll play the role of statesman)
So Soros wasted big piles of his cash on the loser twins, obama and hillary. And obama snubbed him after he got in office.
Cool.
So, Soros is praising John McCain! But where is John McCain? There are also those alleged statements by McCain but McCain is nowhere in sight. Why is he hiding? Is he in a coma? On a tropical vacation? Drugged? The possibilities are many.
You and I can have a contest about which of us can hate Soros the most.
Soros should be furtively sneaking around in hiding. But he knows the right is gentle and peaceable and meek so he’s totally safe everywhere. We obey the laws. Soros spits at them.
A lot of people who died as the hands of illegals and gang members were here because of the support Soros gave and his help to sanctuary city officials. Many people were afraid to go to political rallies for the GOP because Soros bused in violent rioters to chill the turnout.
The small mom and pop donations to GOP Trump people were overwhelmed by millions of dollars of Soros laundered money.
I vowed to keep this list under 2,000 items so I’ll stop.
I now hate Soros even more.
Ditto.
This man is PAYING FOR people to riot and destroy.
Why would anyone want to hear him talk???
No, he wants to be feudal lord, but that is not done in the USA.
So why aren’t there demands for his deportation? I thought at least Jewish organizations hunted former Nazi supporters.
I think Soros is mainly the visible "face" of a much larger globalist group.
Its much much worse.
Him and his staff have been actively working with RATS funneling strategy and insider information to the DNC.
Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy and Schumer were his contacts.
I suspect Joe Biden was the go-between as he seemed to know more about the inner workings of the Senate than Turtle.
Go to Hell, Soros...
Obama consulting a Jew? That’ll be the day... I guess Soros has finally figured out that the Democrats are no longer interested in him, Jewish supporters, Jewish votes or Jewish voters.
The Democrat party has followed Obama all the way down the Socialist rabbit hole and into Socialist Wonderland, where everybody works and serves the state obediently, everybody gets a phone and free money every month, and everybody works towards a Socialist state controlled utopia. Not much room there for Capitalist and their money grabbing ideas.
“When you lose George Soros...”
All you have left is Karl Marx.
Disappointed? Obama followed Soros’ orders like a lap dog. When did Obama not follow Soros commands?
He probably gets winks, nods and approvals from the real masters for all his destructive works. His comfort level and imprinting in tact.
I suspect it wasn't the execution of his orders that disappointed him; it was the outcome that disappointed him. Soros is just now realizing that what his first round NFL draft pick had the talent of a practice squad alternate in the CFL.
“Sounds like Soros is throwing O under the bus. Why now?”
An attempt to humanize himself before the onslaught of justice arrives.
