Bill Clinton: Obama is an amateur and is incompetent

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.

“Barack Obama,” Bill Clinton said, according to book excerpts, “is an amateur.”

The withering criticism is incredible, given the fact that Bill Clinton is actively campaigning for Obama’s re-election.

But 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.

Bill Clinton insisted he had “no relationship” with Obama and had been consulted more frequently by his presidential successor, George W. Bush.

Obama, Bill Clinton said, “doesn’t know how to be president” and is “incompetent.”

    Haha. The New York Post
    one step above The News of the World and US Weekly.

    Also, maybe we should do some background checking on this Edward Klein guy.
    Hilarious.

    What we are seeing are the negative effects of the information age: blogs, web posts, facebook posts, tweets, all being seen as some sort of source for news. Sad.

    I'm waiting to hear how our friends at FOX News spins this.
    They either have to add credibility to Clinton's criticism of President Obama... but, in doing so, they would have to say that Clinton is a trusted, viable source. They have to choose... Clinton... or Obama.
    ...
    The Daily Show is going to have a field day with this.

    See Cincy... you and I have common ground. We both think Bill Clinton is, has always been and will always be, a tool.
    (P.S. I voted for him in 1996, even though I though he was a tool. But, I felt his policies were working okay and the alternative option... i.e. Bob Dole? Come on. Bob Dole? Really?).

    Lefties on this thread simply turned on the author for publishing an "unauthorized" quote in an "unauthorized" biography. If I saw a legitimate source with that quote, then fine. Until then it's all boloney.
