UNLIKEABLE: The Problem with Hillary Hardcover – September 28, 2015
Purchase options and add-ons
From the author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers The Amateur and Blood Feud . . .
Unlikeable is the stunning, powerful exposé of Hillary Clinton and her floundering race for the White House. With unprecedented access to longtime associates of the Clintons and the Obamas, investigative reporter Edward Klein meticulously recreates conversations and details of Hillary Clinton's behind-the-scenes plotting in Chappaqua and Whitehaven. Klein, the former editor in chief of New York Times Magazine and a contributing editor to Vanity Fair, draws a deeply troubling portrait of Hillary Rodham Clinton, a highly unlikeable presidential candidate and a woman more associated with scandal than with accomplishments, with lying than with truth, with arrogance than with compassion.

Editorial Reviews
Review
--Dick Morris, political commentator
"Unlikeable is the latest example of Ed Klein's lacerating style: old-fashioned, hard-hitting reporting about a driven modern-day Borgia clawing her way to power."
--Liz Trotta, Fox News commentator
"Once again, Klein nails it. Likeability really matters in national politics, and Hillary is challenged in this area--along with trustworthiness..."
--Scott W. Reed, longtime GOP strategist
"Sometimes the answer is right in front of us: Why, after all the professionally stage- managed PR, do Americans still not like Hillary Clinton? Ed Klein has the answer. She is unlikeable."
--Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform
"Ed Klein has amazing sources, a no-holds-barred style, and a well-earned reputation for accurately interpreting the facts."
--Stuart Spencer, longtime GOP consultant
"No one has more consistently and accurately penetrated Clintonworld than Ed Klein. Unlikeable might very well be the coup de grâce for Hillary's candidacy."
--John LeBoutillier, former congressman

The release of Unlikeable is very timely considering the day prior to the release Bill Clinton was on a Sunday talk show blaming the Republicans and the far right for his wife’s email and server problem. Klein points out very clearly that the Obama Administration has warned her about her private email and server and they are the ones through Valerie Jarrett that have set in motion for the FBI to run with the investigation. Obama also provided discrete permission to the Justice Department to determine whether there is enough evidence to go after the Clinton’s providing State Department rewards for financial contributions to The Clinton Foundation.
I found it most interesting how Hillary has moved from a more moderate position in her campaign to a very far left position. Klein pointed out seven examples of this shift. The one that struck me the most was her new comment on abortion when she said “Deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed”. So does this mean if one does not believe in 20-week abortions because of moral and religious beliefs, that the person should find a different religious that allows this?
Unlikeable will be read by many and talked about by many. The topics presented will now be a part of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign for the presidency; whether she likes it or not.
This is the third of Ed Klein’s books on the Clintons and their pursuit of regaining the White House using Hillary as the Presidential Candidate and taking control of the Democrat Party, the Executive Branch, and the nation once again. The story centers on why Hillary has had such a hard time grabbing that brass ring which she just knew was hers by divine right in 2008 and now in 2016 and why it continues to elude her grasp. He gives us his primary thesis in the title of the book; the public finds her “unlikeable”. Oh, the press and her political machine keep telling us how wonderful and life of the party fun she is in private. However, the public sees her wooden public persona, her strident hectoring of the nation about what we must do under her vision of our lives, the phony attempts at spontaneity such as her dancing on “Ellen”, her hideous slides into “I ain’t no ways tired” African American mimic. And all this on top of her endless scandals after lie after scandals after evasion after scandals after fake non-apology apology after scandals after dissembling after more scandals. The public is right to wonder how many shoes this woman has that she can keep dropping so many. The public seems to want to forgive Bill for being a kind of charming rogue. But Hillary gets none of that slack because she is never charming or self-deprecating.
The press has always been a key part of protecting the Clintons. When Reagan was running for President, the press was always critical of his age, but now Hillary is as old as Reagan was and there is no serious questioning of her age (or Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden for that matter). When Reagan ran, the press demanded his health records and, as President, they demanded to know the details of his every medical procedure and doctor visit. Anyone else remember learning more than we wanted to know about intestinal polyps back then? But when Bill ran, it was fine to just get a general doctor’s note saying he was fine to run without ANY medical history whatsoever. And the press was fine with it. Now Hillary is running and Klein tells us a lot about what is wrong with her. SERIOUSLY wrong with her and the press is content with her doctor’s note of health. Of course we know why this hypocrisy is considered just fine with her supporters, but why doesn’t the public demand to know more about her brain and heart related issues?
Look, I can’t predict if she will eventually win the Democrat nomination or not or eventually regain the White House with Bill. I never thought the public would be foolish enough to elect Bill the first time, and certainly not the second time. And while I was afraid the novelty of electing the first African American President (weren’t we told that was Bill for a while?) would get Obama in the White House the first time, I never dreamed he would be able to be re-elected. But he was. So, I have no idea if Hillary and the Clinton machine along with a booster press can pull off this magic trick. But I strongly hope it belly flops. I can see her corruption, can’t you? Why can't the rest of the world? Are they willfully blind because of self interest and ideology?
The book recounts Bill’s priapic escapades more openly than ever before. Klein opens the book with Bill advising Hillary to not try and have a meeting with Obama. As the author tells us in "Blood Feud" the Clintons and the Obamaites have less than zero use for each other. They have a shouting match and Hillary goes for the meeting anyway. She wants some alone time with Obama and he wants nothing to do with her. He finally relents but has Valerie Jarrett in the Oval Office. Hillary is taken aback and makes her case to have Obama stop the problems she is having over the email server. According to this book, not only was Obama aware of the server he had warned her to not use it so this problem was of her own making. Hillary screams at him that she wants him to call off his "F-ing Dogs" but actually shouting the f-word. Obama tells her he can't and won't. Not a fun day for Team Hillary.
Klein also tells us about charm training for Hillary at the hands of Steven Spielberg no less, and how badly that went. We get more of the ugly details of her treatment of her team and staff. So, yes, she is unlikeable. My question is, will the public gag reflex finally be triggered? You will have to tell me because I have never been under their spell. But tens of millions apparently are.
Please get and read and share this book. Of course, the pro-Hillary team will dismiss it as trash, but without specific criticisms. They will not refute anything with facts, just their usual general denials. Remember the Clinton system, 1) deny as long as possible, 2) when the evidence goes against you, attack the evidence givers, 3) when the evidence becomes undeniable, cite your previous denials as evidence there is nothing there, 4) when desperate claim that there is nothing to indict them on, and 5) when it comes up again, say it is old news. Don’t fall for it. Please. Don’t fall for the Clinton hyper spin. I can’t vouch for Ed Klein, but since NOTHING in his previous two books has been refuted, I suspect nothing will be proved wrong here either.
