Its amateur hour at the White House. So says
New York Times bestselling author Edward Klein in his new political exposé
The Amateur. Tapping into the publics growing sentiment that President Obama is in over his head,
The Amateur argues that Obamas toxic combination of incompetence and arrogance have run our nation and his presidency off the rails.
Obama was both completely inexperienced and ideologically far to the left of Americans when he entered the White House,” says Klein. And he was so arrogant that he didnt even know what he didnt know.” Klein, who is known for getting the inside scoop on everyone from the Kennedys to the Clintons, reveals never-before-published details about the Obama administrations political inner workings and about Barack and Michelles personal lives, including:
- The inordinate influence Michelle wields over Barack and her feud with a high-profile celebrity
- The real reason Rahm Emmanuel left the White House (it wasnt for family reasons)
- Why Valerie Jarretts role is closer to that of Rasputin than impartial senior advisor
- Obamas problems with American Jews
- How Obama has purposefully forgotten and ignored those that put him in power, including the Kennedys, and the Jewish and African American communities in Chicago
From Obamas conceited and detached demeanor, to his detrimental reliance on Michelle Obama and Valerie Jarretts advice, to the Obamas' extravagant and out-of-touch lifestyle, The Amateur reveals a president whose blatant ignorance and incompetence is sabotaging himself, his presidency, and America.
