"Although the publisher of Hillary Clinton's book (which already dropped out of the Top Ten list on Amazon) claims that people just aren't buying books the way they used to, Hope n' Change is confidently predicting bestseller status for journalist Edward Klein's explosive new tell-all "Blood Feud: The Clintons vs. The Obamas."

"As you can guess from the title, the two political families absolutely despise each other behind closed doors - and we have to admit that our hearts actually warmed to Bill Clinton just a bit upon hearing his quote: "
I hate that man, Obama, more than any man I've ever met. More than any man who ever lived." (Follow the link - trust us, you'll love it.)" ...

Be sure to consider the source, however. 'Blood Feud' Author Also Wrote Obama Birther Fiction   "Sound like fiction? It could be. Klein – who’s written books about Barack Obama, the Clintons, Katie Couric and the Kennedys – has gotten the reputation for being a bit factually challenged. “The evolution of his career has raised eyebrows among liberals and conservatives, and the highly personal portraits he crafts have prompted questions about sourcing, accuracy and intent,” The Washington Post wrote in 2012 on the heels of Klein releasing “The Amateur,” a book about Obama."

Even Fox & Friends Doesn't Buy Ed Klein's Latest "Bombshell" (UPDATE: Limbaugh Is Skeptical, Too)  Another consider-the-source situation.
 "This too-good-to-be-true sourcing -- which, it should be noted, is the defining characteristic of everything Ed Klein writes -- was called out by Brian Kilmeade, who asked, "Now, who is his source? Chelsea? I mean, how would you possibly get in between them?' "

Rush Limbaugh: The Obamas vs. the Clintons -- Really?    Rush quotes Klein's account of what Bill Clinton supposedly said: ..." 'I hate that man Obama more than any man I’ve ever met, more than any man who ever lived." I don't know.  Does this guy talk that way? "I hate that man Obama more than any man I’ve ever met, more than any man who ever lived."  Why would he tell people this?  If they've got this public show going on of unity, you know, one of the things you never betray your true feelings about people.  Keep those -- small point.  Let's move on. " ...

Conclusion: Take this whole story with a grain of salt and watch for either Clinton and either Obama on TV showing great affection for each other. Maybe you'd prefer this book:
