From
Mark Halperin and John Heilemann’s Double
Down – Game Change 2012 (New York: Penguin Press, 2013), p. 59:
[Bill] Clinton was... mightily
impressed by Obama’s ability to get a health initiative passed, as he himself
had been unable to do. At the same time,
he was baffled by Obama’s failures at the basic blocking and tackling of
politics, his insularity, his alienation of business [constituencies]. Obama got all the hard stuff right, Clinton
believed, but didn’t do the easy stuff at all.
