When President Obama talked about Mitt Romney in recent months, "aides picked up a level of anger he never had for (Hillary) Clinton or (John) McCain," writes Politico's Glenn Thrush in Obama's Last Stand, which will be out on Aug. 20.
Thrush notes that Obama "began campaign preparations feeling neutral about Romney, but like the former governor's GOP opponents in 2008 and 2012, he quickly developed a genuine disdain for the man," according to excerpts released by Politico.
Of course, we suspect that Romney's views of Obama may be somewhat similar.
Obama's Last Stand is the latest in a series of e-books on the campaign produced by Politico.
Writes Thrush of the president's anti-Romney views:
"That scorn stoked Obama's competitive fire, got his head in the game, which came as a relief to some Obama aides who had seen his interest flag when he didn't feel motivated to crush the opposition.
Obama, a person close to him told me, didn't even feel this strongly about conservative, combative House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the Hill Republican he disliked the most. At least Cantor stood for something, he'd say.
When he talked about Romney, aides picked up a level of anger he never had for Clinton or McCain, even after Sarah Palin was picked as his running mate. 'There was a baseline of respect for John McCain. The president always thought he was an honorable man and a war hero,' said a longtime Obama adviser. 'That doesn't hold true for Romney. He was no god------ war hero.'"

Oh where the fuck to begin with this one.
1. Has obama ever served in the military?
2. Obama hates Romney, and then complains when people hate him? How fucking old is this jerk? 9?
3. Romney is a successfull business person who has accomplished a lot in his life, Obama is merely an AA hire who has been pushed through his whole life by guilt ridden whites and thoughtless idiots like we see on this board.
Fucking pathetic you stupid fucks would even entertain the idea of voting a second term of this narcissistic freak.
