Former President Barack Obama was "Actually my greatest disappointment," liberal megadonor George Soros said in an interview published by The New York Times on Tuesday.
An early supporter of Mr. Obama's 2008 election campaign, Mr. Soros told The Times that he felt let down on a professional level by the lack of attention he received from the former president during his eight years in office.
Mr. Obama "Closed the door on me" after he was elected, Mr. Soros said in the interview.
"He was someone who was known from the time when he was competing for the editorship of The Harvard Law Review to take his supporters for granted and to woo his opponents," Mr. Soros added.
Mr. Soros subsequently committed over $25 million during the 2016 U.S. general election to presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton and other Democratic candidates, according to federal records.
"I don't particularly want to be a Democrat," Mr. Soros told The Times.
