Neera Tanden, a former top aide, recently told New York magazine that the president is “not close to almost anyone,” adding, “It’s stunning that he’s in politics, because he really doesn’t like people.”

Article about how Obama isn't a people person and doesn't talk to anyone. I'm starting to like him.

When I see him give a speech, I am reminded of Il Duce. His nose is always in the air and I half expect him to give that backhanded wave.

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

Obama doesn't like people.

Which isn't a great loss because real people don't like Obama.

And this is news? He's a narcissistic sociopath. Not liking other people is a given.

Give the author a break. He's obviously not a quick study, since he both voted for Obama in 2008, and admits it now. A smart man would do neither.

Bullschnitz!  He made a mistake, owned up to it and has been actively campaigning against the prez.  That is what I call a good democrat!

People are useful, a means, not an end.  He decided on that a long, long time ago, probably he was wondering why he'd been abandoned by both parents...

My stomach isn't strong enough to watch or listen anymore.

Fixed that for me. Can't stand watching or listening to him anymore.

I don't understand. how. people. can. think his delivery with random. pauses. as. he speaks is good. I got very annoyed with this schtick EARLY on. (In addition to his overuse of multiple catch-phrases: "Let me be clear" "Some say" etc...)

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

100% agreement. Don't forget "yuh-oh," which is his nervous stammer pronunciation of "you know."

I've actually never listened or watched for more than a few seconds at a time, at least not since sometime in 2008. I soured on him early. With Clinton, it was just the last couple of years of his presidency. Out of power, I can listen to him again.
