Swooners won't be too happy about this.
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.”

I am sure the Clintons would tell Klein details of their conversations after the hatchet job he performed on Hillary Clinton. The guy lies for a living.

only the far rwnjs use hyperbole like "swooners" as if it has any relevant reference in todays cut-throat politics.

in metaphors you need vivid description to make the reader visualise what you're describing. But it needs to be restrained at the same time.

Huh? You've not witnessed the "swooning".....I like to call it "slobbering"......over Barack Obama by his base? You're kidding right? You're actually one of the more egregious offenders (ie. swooners, slobberers) and yet you call a perfectly good descriptor "hyperbole?"

LOL

Ok, "swooner" may have been a bit too pejorative. Let's pretend that he didn't use that term.

Now, are you going to address the content of the topic, or hang your argument on a single word that has nothing to do with it?

The real question is "does Bill and Hillary still sleep together?"

Personally I would prefer an amateur in the white house vs a real PROfessional Politician.
