So Alex, I'm going to read you a list of adjectives from this profile.

You wrote back in September.

Sanctimonious, condescending narcissist, professional critic.

Who are these adjectives describing?

Those adjectives are describing Senator Elizabeth Warren and they are all attributed to former

Obama administration officials and treasury officials.

Alex Thompson writes for Politico, where he covers the Elizabeth Warren campaign.

I was signed the beat in March and so it was actually just calling around people that

had worked with her, but it was literally my first call to a former treasury official

who just unloaded.

The Obama administration is where Elizabeth Warren, the politician, was born.

I mean, it's been a decade and they're still angry.

They're still so mad.

And I was even taken aback at how visceral the anger was at times.

It's funny because Warren says on the campaign trail all the time how grateful she is to President

Obama.

She said it just this past week at the presidential debate.

Yes.

I mean, that gratitude is sincere, but it's also a shield to sort of paper over all these

other very acrimonious and very fundamental differences between her and the Obama administration.

I mean, the thing is that they really ate large swath of the entire Obama administration,

not just disliked her, but really hated her.
