He is typically a stoic Commander-in-Chief.
But now, Barack Obama’s former top adviser has revealed in a new book what happens when the President loses his famous cool.
David Axelrod, Obama’s top strategist during his 2012 presidential campaign, claims the 53-year-old once cussed at him in front of others and stormed out of a debate-prep session in a fit of rage.
In his book, ‘Believer: My Forty Years in Politics’, he describes how he attempted to offer Obama some constructive criticism prior to his first debate with Republican nominee, Mitt Romney.
However, Obama refused to accept his advice, Axelrod writes.
Instead, in an unexpected move, the US leader reportedly exclaimed:
‘Motherf****r’s never happy!’ before storming out of the room in front of stunned onlookers, according to Business Insider.
‘That was a first,’ Axelrod says in his book. ‘Obama and I had been working together for a decade, through some pretty hairy moments, but he had never before lost his temper in this fashion.’
He added: ‘He certainly never attacked me so harshly, especially in front of others.’
And perhaps Obama could have done with heeding Axelrod’s advice – as his first debate proved to be disastrous, with 67 per cent of viewers declaring that Romney had won it, according to a poll.
Only 25 per cent said the same of the President, whose poor performance was watched by more than 60million Americans in October 2012, the poll by CNN/Opinion Research revealed.
