Here we have the last 3 pages of Edward Klein book, “The Amateur”

“[Obama] is determined to make the election a contest between two policy alternatives, deliberately omitting the issue of competence,” says Dick Morris…

“To win reelection in 2012, Barack Obama must divert the country’s attention from his record of incompetence and amateurism. He doesn’t want to remind people that America lost its triple-A credit rating on his watch - a downgrade that Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of S. C. called a firing offense.

“Obama doesn’t want to remind people that he increased the national debt by nearly $5 trillion - the most rapid increase in debt under any president.

“Obama doesn’t want to remind people that he pushed through a bill that includes more than a trillion dollars in new healthcare spending and contains a 4.5 percent tax increase.

“Obama doesn’t want to remind people that Jon Corzine’s bankrupt financial company, MF Global, which is under investigation by a grand jury for misusing client’s money, was one of the top sources of contributions to Obama’s reelection campaign.

“Obama doesn’t want to remind people of his erratic stand on illegal immigration, which has swung wildly between fast-paced deportations - removing nearly 400,000 illegal foreigners in each of the last three years - to a policy of virtual amnesty.

“Obama doesn’t want to remind people of his inconsistency on environmental regulation - first pushing through burdensome, anti-business rules to toughen air-quality standards, then suddenly scrapping those rules to win over campaign supporters in the business community.

“Obama doesn’t want to remind people that he was for lower taxes before he was for higher taxes; that he was for forcing Catholic-affiliated institutions to provide contraceptive and abortion insurance principles; that he was removing terrorists from Guantanamo before he was for dividing it; that he was for a grand bargain with Republicans over debt ceiling before he was against it; that he was for energy independence before he reject the Keystone Pipeline; that he was in favor of extending an olive branch to the mullahs in Iran before he was against it…

“REPUBLICANS WILL HAVE TO REMIND AMERICA THAT BARACK OBAMA IS THE AMATEUR.” [THAT’S WHAT BILL CLINTON CALLED OBAMA.]
