i get that for free. august of 2011. you missed your opportunity on that, the president told him. i m suspicious of the way these quotes are remembered. first of all, i ve learned this from reading lots of books. nobody remembers exact quotes. three years ago he said to me verbatim. did you have a recording device? no. so these are grabbed from sources. sources have their own way of remembering. these make the president look like a schmuck. any time you re hearing it, you get nothing. he doesn t talk like that, does he? it depends. it could be partial quotes. it makes him look like a hard negotiator to his base. you get nothing. presents obama as playing too hard. if you re negotiating with someone, you put a cushion around you. but when you get in the room, how about this. we re almost there. i d like to give you more, but that s where we were last year. that s what you talk like or do you say screw you?
