Bill Clinton Reportedly Says "The Economy Is A Mess And Barack Obama Is An Amateur" In New Book

Is Bill still mad that he never got be the First Husband Of The United States?

A new book of President Obama claims that Bill Clinton was so unimpressed with the president’s performance that he called him an “amateur” and urged wife Hillary Clinton to quit her job as Secretary of State to mount a Democratic primary challenge.

“Barack Obama is an amateur,” he said, according to the book. “The economy’s a mess, it’s dead flat. America has lost its Triple-A rating.”

The man who famously didn’t inhale made the eyebrow-raising remarks to his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in an effort last summer to convince her to challenge the sitting president in the 2012 elections.

“You know better than Obama does,” Bill told Hillary, adding he thought the current president “doesn’t know how to be president” and is “incompetent.”

He tried to coax Hillary into a run, telling her, “The country needs you!” and that he wasn’t necessarily “young enough” to help her for a 2016 run.

Hillary told him she’s “the highest-ranking member in Obama’s Cabinet,” eats “breakfast with the guy every Thursday morning” and is loyal to the current president.

“Loyalty is a joke,’’ Bill told her. “Loyalty doesn’t exist in politics.”

Clinton’s spokesman Matt McKenna called the quotes “totally and completely false,” noting that Klein, an ex-editor of various publications, is “a known liar.” Clinton has been campaigning aggressively for Obama’s re-election so we’re not sure how truthful this bio is, but one thing is clear — the world of politics is never pretty or honest.
