Former President Barack Obamas new book, A Promised Land, hits shelves next week, but the early reviews are already out ― and they cite some eye-popping descriptions of his political rivals.
According to a New York Times review, Obama writes that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has discipline, shrewdness and shamelessness all of which he employed in the single-minded and dispassionate pursuit of power.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is physically unremarkable but reminds Obama of a Chicago ward boss from the citys infamous political machine.
And former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin ― the vice-presidential nominee on the 2008 Republican ticket ― had no idea what the hell she was talking about.
But perhaps his most damning assessment of all was reserved for Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
The former president compares Graham to a character in a spy movie who double-crosses everyone to save his own skin.
