The Amateur

by Edward Klein

A Review

Bathed in the adulation of a receptive crowd at the 2012 Democrat Convention and the Fleetwood Mac refrain that was his 1992 victory lap, Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow, former President Bill Clinton strained his voice—and his waning health and patience—to endorse Barack Obama as the Democrat nominee for President of the United States.

Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzDhk3BHi6Q

But what was Clinton’s opinion of the man he’d just endorsed for President just one year earlier?

“‘I’ve had two successors since I left the White House—Bush and Obama—and I’ve heard more from Bush, asking for my advice, than I’ve heard from Obama. I have no relationship with the president—none whatsoever. Obama doesn’t know how to be president.’” [1]

Clinton didn’t stop there.

“‘He doesn’t know how to world works. He’s incompetent. He’s… he’s…’

They (Hillary and Chelsea) waited for the politician par excellence to deliver his final judgment on the forty-fourth president of the United States.

Barack Obama,’ said Bill Clinton, ‘is an amateur!’” [2]

And thus, the impeached former President of the United States offered his opinion of the 44th President,… and inadvertently provided the title to Klein’s book.

Through actual personal interviews conducted by the author, the public gets the clearest picture yet of a man absolutely out of his depth as President of the United States!

Again, these statements are not from Obama’s detractors, but Obama’s closest, like-minded acquaintances.

Klein interviewed people who interacted with Obama long before he even maneuvered his way onto the national political stage. People like Obama’s personal physician, Dr. David Scheiner. Jeri Wright—the daughter of Rev. Jeremiah Wright (whom Klein also interviewed).

In all, Klein interviewed nearly 100 named people, most of whom are not household names like, N’DIGO publisher, Hermene Hartman. [3] People like the successful black private businessman turned Northwest University’s Kellogg School of Management professor, Steven Rogers.[4]

In his acknowledgements, Edward Klein outlined his function as a faithful reporter in writing this book;

“One of the great pleasures of reporting a non-fiction book is that it forces you to get outside your zone of comfort. This is a good thing for a writer, for it compels you to do things you wouldn’t ordinarily do—speak with strangers, make new friends, and renew forgotten acquaintances. Perhaps most important of all, it shakes you out of your intellectual complacency, and makes you re-examine your assumptions and justify your conclusions.” [5]

So, if you really want to vet Obama before you decide to cast your vote for a second term, and you're too dismissive of Rush, Sean, and Fox News, then shake yourself, out of your intellectual complacency… and justify your conclusions,” as Klein suggested!

Read what Obama’s closest inner circle and those who’ve actually dealt with Obama have said about him!

You will never look upon Barack Obama the same way, ever again!

    "Slick" wants back into the Oval Orfice to stand over the shoulders of Hillary, all under the premise he just wants to regenerate "Billy Beer" ... Barry's doing it out of the basement drains, why can't "Slick" too? Just wait until Monica gets the first "six pack"!

    How does it compare with "Obama's America" by Dinesh D'Dsouza? That was enough for me to sit up straight, alarmed, yet not surprised after Barry's listening to a voice from the grave.

    A Democrat's Comments on the Film 2016 ~ PLEASE READ..............
    COMMENTS ON THE FILM 2016
    By Bob Correal

    I had the displeasure of seeing 2016 the movie yesterday. But not in the way you may think. You would think that as a former Obama fan, it would have been a right-wing propaganda filled experience. A waste of my time. It wasn’t! It is not about taking over the auto industry or banks or any number of things that the Obama administration has already done. Some of that may have been needed to fix the mess....

    What the movie does do is lead you through Obama 's upbringing, his early, impressionistic learning years if you will, how his beliefs were formed, by whom and when. I was quite honestly amazed at the many things I learned--right from the horse's mouth, so to speak--from his brother, and others who knew him and that the movie interviews and shows-you hear it from them. The movie was very well done and very factual. It was scarier than any Friday the 13th movie I have ever seen.

    There was not a sound in the theater as the movie progressed and when it ended, people just sat there, stunned. There was not a nay-sayer or heckler in the entire group. I might have been one if them had I not been so shaken. It really is a revealing look of who Obama is and where he and his handlers...

    There was not a sound in the theater as the movie progressed and when it ended, people just sat there, stunned. There was not a nay-sayer or heckler in the entire group. I might have been one if them had I not been so shaken. It really is a revealing look of who Obama is and where he and his handlers want to take our beloved country, now that the waters have been tested as to what he can get away with, what it reveals his plans for the next 4 years and beyond is, well, reprehensible. I voted for this man, I had his best wishes in my heart, but he has not returned the favor to the American people. In fact, he seems completely unaware of owing Americans anything, blacks, whites, Hispanics--they are merely a means to an end: a vote to further his agenda would end our America , the way we have known it.

    No matter your political leanings, if you love America , you owe it to yourself to see the movie. Why not? This election is not politics as usual, and Obama is not the typical Democrat you may have always voted for- not by any means! Once you see it, you will understand and you will want to do, as I am doing now: encourage everyone to go and see it...I promise you, you will no longer want to vote for this man, you will want to run from him!

    Now I understand why his school records have been hidden away, why his past and papers have been locked away from view...why only what they want us to see, have we seen... Obama is NOT what or who you think he is. Charming, yes, black, yes--but without any black American history or empathy in his blood, smart--not as smart as you think...but he has found his pulpit and his blind followers- but I am no longer one of them.

    The Agenda: Make CERTAIN Obama does not get a second term which equals:
    4 more years to ignore Congress and ignore what the American people want, 4 more years to circumvent our Constitution and bring America morally, spiritually and economically to its knees. He's already proven he can and will and HAS begun this process already!

    Even if you do not want to vote for Romney, you WILL want to vote AGAINST Barack Obama! I am going to make a statement here; you all know I am neither a scholar nor a historian, but: At some point in our history books in the future, the legacy of Barack Hussein Obama will show him in the same dark light as Marx, Lenin and Stalin--who have furthered the misery, suppression and control over their people and sought to spread their oppressive philosophy and dominance throughout the world... IF AMERICA HAD NOT STOPPED THEM! Think about that.

    Be careful who you vote for, be very careful. Put your love of America first- it's all we have.

    They SHOULD have invalidated the entire law, since the previous version (H.R. 3500) contained the severablility clause, and since it was removed in H.R. 3590, Judge Vinson's ruling should have been upheld by the SCOTUS. It was in the dissenting opinion!

    “Hillary rolled her eyes.

    ‘I’m the highest-ranking member in Obama’ cabinet,’ she pointed out. ‘I eat breakfast with the guy every Thursday morning. What about loyalty, Bill? What about loyalty?’

    Loyalty is a joke,’ Bill said. ‘Loyalty doesn’t exist in politics. There’s no such word in the political rulebook.’”
