Neera Tanden, a former aide to both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, had this to say about the relationship of the two presidents:
Bill Clinton, being Clinton, had plenty of advice in mind and was desperate to impart it. But for the first two years of Obamaâs term, the phone calls Clinton kept expecting rarely came. âPeople say the reason Obama wouldnât call Clinton is because he doesnât like him,â observes Tanden. âThe truth is, Obama doesnât call anyone, and heâs not close to almost anyone. Itâs stunning that heâs in politics, because he really doesnât like people. My analogy is that itâs like becoming Bill Gates without liking computers.â
