The Amateur pdf
The Amateur est le troisième livre faisant partie de des Livres préférés de Donald Trump. Trump critiquait toujours la politique d’Obama et la façon par laquelle il dirigeait les Etats Unis en le décrivant comme un incapable et manquant de sagesse.
Ce livre est le résultat de 200 dialogues menés par l’écrivain qui critique les politiques d’Obama et le considère comme une tempête, et confirme l’existence d’une affaire secrète entre Obama et Bill Clinton, l’ancien précédent, pour soutenir Hillary Clinton.

Calling Barack Obama an amateur can be tricky business. After all, amateurs are often viewed in a positive light. In fiction, Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple is an amateur detective, and the foppish young English nobleman Sir Percy Blakeney turns out to be the dashing Scarlet Pimpernel.
In real life, two of history’s greatest scientists, Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel, were amateurs. So was the great golfer Bobby Jones. And who can forget the finest amateur boxer of all time, Cassius Clay, who won the light-heavyweight gold medal at the 1960 Summer Olympics before he turned professional as Muhammad Ali?
Obama would appear to be the polar opposite of the amateur who does what he does for the pure pleasure of it. No matter how much Obama likes to parade as a nonpartisan reformer, he is, in fact, the product of Chicago-style politics, which is a byword for patronage, nepotism, bribery, and corruption. Since 1972, four Illinois governors (out of seven) have been convicted of corruption. “A new report... documents the extent to which the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago have been hotbeds of corruption,” reports the February 25, 2012, issue of The Economist.
Chicago ... has the dubious distinction of being the federal district with the most convictions since 1976. Since then, 1,828 elected officials, appointees, government employees and a few private individuals have been convicted of corruption in Illinois, and 84 percent of these were in its Northern District—a judicial zone which contains the entire Chicago metropolitan area. During this time around one-third of the city’s aldermen have been convicted of corruption.
No mayors have been convicted or indicted-not even Bill Thompson, who was backed by Al Capone. Chicago is where Obama cut his political teeth. His wife Michelle worked for Mayor Daley’s political machine, as did his senior adviser, Valerie Jarrett. Obama and his crew of Chicago operatives don’t abide by the Marquess of Queensberry Rules of political combat.
As Sean Connery memorably said of “the Chicago way” in the movie The Untouchables: “He brings a knife to the fight, you bring a gun; he puts one of yours in the hospital, you put one of his in the morgue.” “If we have learned anything about Barack Obama the past three years it’s that he enjoys hitting,” columnist Daniel Henninger wrote in the Wall Street Journal. “He will be merciless with [the Republican nominee].
Ask Hillary. Ask the respectful Republicans that Obama [has] pistol-whipped.... Ask Wall Street’s Democrats.” So what do I mean when I call such a bare-knuckled political warrior an amateur? I simply mean this: judged by the skillset that is necessary for the chief executive and commander in chief of the United States of America, Obama is the Bungler-in-Chief. “Obama has a political sense, but he lacks an executive sense,” says Walter Anderson, a leadership expert whose lectures at the New School for Social Research in New York City were turned into a bestselling book, The Confidence Course. “He has the same vulnerability that many legislators have; he’s skillful at getting elected, but he’s often lost when it comes to governing and inspiring others.
In my view, it’s a mistake to compare Obama to Jimmy Carter, as some do. Carter was a micromanager in all things. Obama is anything but.” “Obama is politically astute,” says Tavis Smiley, the African-American talk-show host who has often criticized Obama. “I was in awe of how well run and on message his presidential campaign was. In all my life, I never saw a campaign run so brilliantly. And so it’s been interesting to see how off-course and off track Obama has gotten in the White House.
And what’s occurred to me is that campaigning and governing are entirely different things and that all the things that served Obama so well in the campaign have come back to haunt him in his governance.” William Safire, the late New York Times columnist, and lexicographer, might have had Barack Obama in mind when he noted in Safire’s Political Dictionary:
Because there are a great many more amateurs than pros, the public image of the amateur is that of a fresh-faced, civic-minded citizen out to do battle for a cause he believes in, versus the cigar-chomping image of the political professional... The appearance of being an amateur, then, is something to be coveted; the act of doing political work amateurishly is something to be avoided. (source: The Amateur de Edward Klein)
