He is too mature for that, or at least outwardly appears as such.

(2,711 posts)a word that I would associate with President Obama.
To a degree that I find almost scary. Maybe behind the scenes he is tougher or something. But what I see is the great concilliator who keeps trying to make the deal no matter how stupid or insulting the other side is.
I can see, however, how this attitude might come out of his life background.
Just like I could see how President Clinton's . . . horniness . . . might come out of his background.

(18,402 posts)Did he say he has genuine disdain for Romney?
Did a spokesperson in the administration say that?
Did they talk to his analyst?
Or did they just teletransport that from the tin foil on someone's head?
(PS: I wouldn't be surprised if he did bear genuine disdain for the man; but my guess is that Romney feels disdain for the president ... where's the analysis on that?)

Romney is a despicable bastard.

(11,464 posts)As people who know me know, while I hated the politics of Bush41, Bush43, Reagan, Cheney, etc. I never personally distained them just politically.
However, and I can't think of anyone else who was a nominee for President that I feel this way about. Mitt I do.
I find nothing admirable in him, and he is the coldest most calculating person I have ever seen.
(like the biggest baddest villian in a movie or book, yet he is real.)
And I remember well his father. His father was nothing like this, making it even more odd.
Where or who the hell did he get this from?
(in fact, the only other person this cold and calculating would be John Edwards, thankfully never the nominee for President.)
