Former Obama Aide: “It’s stunning that he’s in politics, because he really doesn’t like people.”

A former Obama aide told reporters this week, “It’s stunning that he’s in politics, because he really doesn’t like people.”

But, it’s obvious who he does like.

The Weekly Standard reported:

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.”
