Barack Obama Has A Damning Description Of Lindsey Graham In His New Book

Former President Barack Obama’s 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 city’s 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.”
