Bill Clinton thought so little of President Obama — mocking him as an “amateur” — that he pressed his wife last summer to quit her job as secretary of state and challenge him in the primaries, a new book claims,

“The country needs you!” the former president told Hillary Clinton, urging her to run this year, according to accounts of the conversation included in Edward Klein’s new biography of Obama.

The title of Klein’s explosive, unauthorized bio of Obama, “The Amateur” (Regnery Publishing), was taken directly from Bill Clinton’s bombshell criticism of the president, the author said.

Well, every president is an amateur. I doubt that there is any job that really prepares a person for that job.

I agree with his other point though. Its unfortunate that there was no strong candidate to challenge Obama for the nomination.

Edward Klein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Boston Herald has quoted him calling the late Carolyn Bessette Kennedy "a disturbed, neurotic, unstable young woman"; according to the Buffalo News, Klein's book The Kennedy Curse described Bessette Kennedy "sprawled on the floor in front of a sofa, disheveled and hollow-eyed, snorting cocaine with a gaggle of gay fashionistas." The News book review called The Kennedy Curse "a contrived and stretched effort that seeks legitimacy by surrounding a few interesting scoops with historical and psychological analysis," adding of one Klein passage: "He takes a long and involved analysis of Ireland's Great Famine of the 1840s, links it to the emigration of JFK's great-grandfather to Boston, and applies enough psychobabble to explain everything from President Kennedy's womanizing to William Kennedy Smith's celebrated rape trial in 1991."[2]


celebrated rape trial in 1991."[2]

He came under fire for his biography of Hillary Clinton titled, The Truth about Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President which was released on June 21, 2005. On the day of its release Sean Hannity interviewed him on the radio. Radio host Al Franken, along with Joe Conason interviewed him on Air America that month as well. During the interview, Franken and Conason exposed inaccuracies in Klein's book, including incorrect names and deliberate omissions from quotes with the intention to deceive the reader.[3] Klein claimed that he was not told that Conason, who had authored The Hunting of the President in defense of the Clintons, would join the interview, but Franken asserted that Klein's publicist was informed that Conason would help conduct the interview.

Clinton and Obama have had an ongoing disagreement for years.
Clinton was part of a good administration up until the sixth year of
his leadership, then the slide began.
Obama is not a bad President, he is of course attempting to fix the
problems of two Bush terms and part of the Clinton one as well.
The three previous guys relied on short term gains rather than fixing
the long term problems.

Bill Clinton could have avoided soooo much grief by using one of these:



....instead of Monica. I mean, as far as we know, Barry Obama isn't
using one of his Interns as a humidor....& that makes him an amateur?
