        No. This was a lie made up by McBride. Gordon’s love for Obama beach is not reciprocated. According to Richard Woolfe, author of Obama’s official biography Renegade, Obama was very impressive by DC and said “I’m glad I’m not running against him.” Aparrently Obama thought a lot less about Brown and his cronnies, he said they were tired, lacked new ideas and seemed resigned to defeat. “Boring” is a word an Obama-insider used.
