National Memo Editor-in-Chief Joe Conason stopped by MSNBC’s “Hardball” today to discuss a new e-book by Politico’s Glenn Thrush, which claims that President Obama has developed a “genuine disdain” for Mitt Romney.

“It’s not surprising that he dislikes Mitt Romney,” Conason told host Chris Matthews. “All of [Romney’s] opponents have come to dislike him.”
