Author Ed Klein: Obama's Biggest Lie
Veteran journalist Edward Klein has shot to the top of the New York Times’ best-seller list with a blockbuster new book about Barack Obama — the president Klein calls the “most divisive in modern history.”
Klein’s book “Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House,” which is debuting on the Times’ list at No. 1, is buttressed by nearly 200 interviews, many of them with insiders who know Obama best, and features explosive disclosures about one of the most secretive White Houses.
Klein is the former editor-in-chief of the New York Times Magazine, former foreign editor of Newsweek, and a contributing editor to Vanity Fair. He sat down in New York with former Congressman and Newsmax columnist John LeBoutillier for an exclusive interview about Klein’s expose, which is being hailed as the most riveting political book of the year.
LeBoutillier asked Klein what is the biggest lie Obama has told the American public.
“He promised that he would bring us together. He promised that he would not be partisan,” Klein responds. “He promised that he would reach out to the other side, the Republican side.
“Instead, he and his small little group of people in the White House hunkered down, have not reached out, not compromised, making it impossible for Washington to work.
“It’s not Republicans who are at fault here, it’s the president, who does not know how to use the leverage of power and his powers of persuasion. He’s the anti-Lyndon Johnson in that he doesn’t know how to get things done.
“And so he’s been more divisive, more partisan than any president we’ve seen in modern history.”
