Even his 'Staunchest' supporter is BACKING out ...

New York billionaire George Soros is not a fan of former President Obama - telling the New York Times that Obama is his "greatest disappointment," lamenting that he was "frozen out" by the administration despite his financial support.
Soros, who also poured millions of dollars into Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential run, wouldn’t say if he would back Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the upcoming presidential election, but said when it comes to politics, “I don’t particularly want to be a Democrat.” -Fox News
Did Soros just have a #WalkAway moment? If so, there will be a lot of sunk costs: Soros has contributed more than $15 million to support Democrats in the midterm elections, and told the paper for every Trump supporter "there is more than one Trump enemy who will be more intent, more determined." Perhaps.
When asked about where he views his political ideology, Soros told The Times “I’m opposed to the extreme left,” he said. "It should stop trying to keep up with the extremists on the right." Which is surprising in light of the various media reports that it is Soros who is, directly or indirectly, funding many of these most extreme elements on the left.

ZH seems to have left out a few words.

"The New York Times broke the story. After the “greatest disappointment” comment, “Prompted by an aide, he immediately qualified himself, saying that he hadn’t been disappointed by Obama’s presidency but felt let down on a professional level.”

While Soros has no desire for a formal role in the Obama administration (which would result in a significant pay cut for the billionaire hedge fund manager), “he had hoped that Obama would seek his counsel, especially on financial and economic matters. Instead, he was frozen out.”

“He made one phone call thanking me for my support, which was meant to last for five minutes,” Soros complained."
