Breaking news: Barack Obama ‘does not like people’
So says a former aide to both Presidents Obama and Bill Clinton. Neera Tanden served as a senior advisor for health reform under Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in the Department of Health and Human Services and worked in the White House on getting ObamaCare passed through Congress. 
Now, Tanden reflects on her experience working with President Obama and her inside account is interesting, especially considering that Obama’s personal popularity is one of the only things keeping his campaign afloat.
Via The New Yorker, emphasis mine:
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.”

Posted on October 17, 2012 at 7:50amThis is news to anyone? Unless you are a megastar who can advance this guy’s agenda he has no time for you. Narcissists rarely like people and see them as useful tools to be used and tossed away. BTW–Bill Clinton doesn’t necessary like people either but is better at dealing with them on a personal level. Being raised by his grandparents and attending private schools his entire life did little to give him the common touch Clinton has.

Posted on October 16, 2012 at 4:39pmBarack Obama is nothing but a Cult of Personality, a soulless Progressive golem that has been fabricated to appeal to the masses. He is a blank slate upon which others can write their own story.
Some are still fooled by this charlatan. Why do you think Obama campaigns almost exclusively on college campuses? He needs gullible young minds who are still willing to believe The Lie.
During the first debate, everyone began to see behind the facade. Tonight, Mitt Romney will rip away the rest of it, and expose Obama as the fraud that he is.
