Though Jobs was not that impressed by Obama, later telling Isaacson that his focus on the reasons that things can’t get done ‘infuriates’ him, they kept in touch and talked by phone a few more times. Jobs even offered to help create Obama’s political ads for the 2012 campaign. ‘He had made the same offer in 2008, but he’d become annoyed when Obama’s strategist David Axelrod wasn’t totally deferential,’ writes Isaacson. Jobs later told the author that he wanted to do for Obama what the legendary ‘morning in America’ ads did for Ronald Reagan.

Steve Jobs Wanted To Make 2012 Campaign Commercials For Obama (via rickwebb)
Kind of unfortunate that the biography, coming so closely after his death, makes him seem like a real jerk. And apparently he wrote it so his kids would understand what he did and why he wasn’t around that much (do kids eve get over that, btw?) so even worse that apparently he wasn’t around because he was busy hating Google. |
