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.

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!

Glad I'm not the only one who sees that similarity

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...)

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.
