New Book Claims Clinton Called Obama ‘Amateur’

Journalist Edward Klein has a new unauthorized book out about president Barack Obama in which he claims that former president Bill Clinton called Obama an ‘amateur.’

The book, which is called Amateur, claims that Bill thinks so little of the current president that he encouraged Hillary to run against Obama in this year’s presidential election. The New York Post reports:

according to the book, Bill Clinton unloaded on Obama and pressed Hillary to run against her boss during a gathering in the ex-president’s home office in Chappaqua last August that included longtime friends, Klein said. ‘The economy’s a mess, it’s dead flat. America has lost its Triple-A rating . . . You know better than Obama does,’ Bill said. (Via Mediate).
