In The Amateur you’ll discover:
The Amateur is a reporter’s book, buttressed by nearly 200 interviews, many of them with the insiders who know Obama best. The result is the most important political book of the year. You will never look at Barack Obama the same way again.

Praise for The Amateur
“The Amateur is the best book I’ve read on how Barack Obama is wrecking our country. I urge everyone who cares about America to read Edward Klein’s eye-opening book.”
—Donald J. Trump, world-famous businessman, owner and host of the hit NBC TV shows The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice, and bestselling author of many titles, including Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again
“This is a racy, entertaining, informative book that illuminates aspects of Obama and his team that have not been previously reported. A necessary antidote to the Obama worship that is sure to characterize the election debate.”
—Dinesh D’Souza, president of The King’s College and bestselling author of The Roots of Obama’s Rage
“All the horrors I predicted in Welcome to Obamaland have now been definitively proven true by Edward Klein’s rip-roaringly readable new book The Amateur, which uses great stories and great reporting to illustrate just how ideological, arrogant, and hapless Obama and his administration really are. An outstanding demolition job on the most overrated president of our time.”
—James Delingpole, columnist for the Daily Telegraph and the Spectator and author of Welcome to Obamaland
“A devastating indictment of the lethal combination of incompetence and radicalism that has made Obama into one of the worst presidents in American history.”

A Can't Put Down Book that Will Withstand the Obama Attack Machine - May 21, 2012
By Kris Zane
I bought Edward Klein's The Amateur the day it came out; the day
Klein revealed on Sean Hannity's radio show that he had audio tapes of
the pastor that Obama threw under the bus, Jeremiah Wright, stating that
in 2008 Obama crony Eric Whitaker had offered him $150K to keep his
mouth shut until after the election. Contrary to the naysayers of
Klein's previous exposé on Hillary Clinton, critics' ad hominem attacks
on Klein regarding The Amateur this time are ringing false, as the Top
Ten slot on Amazon's best seller list shows.
Klein names names,
interviewing over two hundred people for the book, including Obama's
two-decades-long former doctor, who makes the claim that Obama is
basically a hollow shell, with no real emotion, and no connection to
people.
Klein "has the goods," so to speak: in regard to the Eric
Whitaker bribery, it is not merely a hidden microphone that caught
Wright stating this. It is within an open, 3 1/2 hour interview, where
Wright not only states he was bribed, but has the email to prove it.
Wright makes other statements, such as Obama's Muslim background, his
fickle belief in Christianity, and his two-decades-long allegiance to
Trinity United Church of Christ for purely political reasons.
I downloaded the book to my Kindle within hours of its release, and read it over a day and a half period, only pausing to sleep. Probably the two most enjoyable-to-read revelations are that 1. Bill Clinton urged Hillary to challenge Obama in 2012. 2. The Kennedy clan despise Obama, despite deceased Ted Kennedy's tireless support of the Community Organizer-in-Chief.
An anecdote is described where Bill and Hillary Clinton are having an argument that took place over several days (a screaming match actually, with a dozen people present); that, because Obama had basically destroyed the economy, caused the downgrade of the U.S.'s credit rating for the first time in history, etc., etc.; that Obama was, according to Bill Clinton, an "Amateur" (this is the source of the title of the book); that Hillary needed to challenge Obama in 2012 in order to save the country from sliding off the cliff.
The Kennedy clan anecdote is jaw-dropping. All of the Kennedy clan (save Robert Kennedy, Jr.) had stood behind Obama in 2008. But after Obama's coronation and repeated miffs by the First Family:

The Kennedy clan anecdote is jaw-dropping. All of the Kennedy clan (save Robert Kennedy, Jr.) had stood behind Obama in 2008. But after Obama's coronation and repeated miffs by the First Family:
1. The Obamas ignored
an invitation to the Kennedy Compound while vacation at Martha's
Vineyard.
2. Michelle Obama treated Caroline Kennedy (daughter of JFK)
like hired help while at the White House, shaking her hand coldly,
taking a quick photo, and making a quick exit--after these and other
miffs the Kennedy royalty at a pow wow had had enough (at one point
Robert Kennedy, Jr. shattered a glass in his hand) and got the message
from the Obamas loud and clear: rich people are evil, and wanted no more
to do with the former community organizers.
Contrary to Obama's 'Attack Watch' claim of the book being totally discredited (whereby they don't actually reference anything in the book, but simply go on an ad hominem attack), the book is meticulously researched and at the same time highly readable.

It is at the time of this writing #9 on Amazon's
bestseller list, and hopefully it will reach #1, whereby at that point
the majority of Americans will have read about the current "Amateur" in
office being completely unqualified for the job; and realize that when a
person is unqualified for a job, are incompetent, that the only remedy
is either resignation or being fired.
I vote for being fired.
