New book says Clinton called Obama “amateur”

New book: Bill Clinton called Obama “incompetent”, urged Hillary to run in 2012. We don’t need a book to figure out Obama’s incompetent, but it’s nice to know Bill Clinton knows it too – makes his campaigning that much more effective. But the author is some GOP racist, right? Nope. Edward Klein is a NY Times bestselling non-fiction author, the former foreign editor of Newsweek and former editor-in-chief of The NY Times Magazine.

  • Hillary has repeatedly insisted she is not interesed in running for Dog Catcher, much les president. But BILL keeps saying she really does, that she will miss it when she is out etc. I think Bill is projecting his own desires on Hillary. As far as Obama being incompetent, was wht, 2 terms as a Junior senator whos most important vote was "present" not clue enough?

  • I've been following the articles about this book. I wonder how much of it is true. I mean "Mr Lewinski" is currently campaigning for the Dog Eater in Chief. And the book's author did write for the New York Slimes, which is known for being full of $#!t.

  • Ole Slick Willy got that one right for a change. But then we all knew that "Dear Leader" dosen't want to be a president, he wants to be a despotic ruler.
