Default "The truth is ... Obama really doesn't like people"

The following quote went widely unreported recently:

"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."

What dastardly conservative said such a hateful thing?!?! Rush Limbaugh? Glenn Beck? Ann Coulter???

Uh, no. The above quote was actually spoken by a former Obama aide Neera Tanden, who claims she meant it to be a statement on how "private" he is.

A comment which she is saying was misconstrued and for which she is sorry.

I was trying to say how President Obama, who I admire greatly, is a private person, but I deeply regret how I said it. I apologize.

Damn, Obama apparently doesn't like people. Romney I guess does.

I guess I'll vote for Romney now. Thanks for changing my mind, WP!

The Patriots have been overachievers the past two years. It doesn't have the talent to compensate for injuries, and it wins so much because it puts in 99% effort in the regular season and plays with terrific schemes to mask its deficiencies.

But in the playoffs a good team at 99% will not beat emotional, talented teams that play at 100%. It's what happened against the Giants in 2011 and the Ravens in 2012.

Well, all but 47% of them, anyhow.

Yes, Mrs, she got caught telling the truth and is now desperately trying to backtrack an "un-say" what she said.

How do you misconstrue a direct quote? She said, verbatim and word for word: "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."

How does one "misconstrue" a direct quote?

I don't expect anyone to change their votes over this, I just enjoy educating the gullible, moronic liberals who think Obama is the messiah who loves and cares for everyone.

Fact is he is an egomaniac who "doesn't really like" people.

You miscontrue a direct quote, because you want to believe what the bloggers tell you to believe.. this is from an 8 page article in the New Yorker Magazine.. about the relationship between he and the Clintons.. save you the effort go to page 3...

You won't find this on Gateway Pundit, Breitbart or any of the other right wing blogs.. the thought police do not want you to think, just follow along.

What she said was that he is a private person..

Quote:
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.”

And he doesn't like people. Which is why she apologized for it. BLINDERS!

All politicians are. Romney is worse and his policies are bad for me and my idea of where this country should go.

Therefore, I vote for Obama. It really is that simple.

Take your candidate's biggest weakness and project it on his opponent.
