From Klein’s “The Amateur”: Obama Confidante (and frequent Golf Buddy) Allegedly Tried to Bribe Jeremiah Wright for 2008 Silence

On an appearance on Sean Hannity’s radio show on Monday, “The Amateur” author Edward Klein revealed the name of a  close ally of President Barack Obama that his book alleges offered a  $150,000 bribe to Rev. Jeremiah Wright to be quiet until after the 2008  election.

“Well, what happened is that after ABC’s Brian Ross broadcast the video tapes  of the Rev. Wright ‘God damning America’ and slamming whites and slamming Jews  and America, he was contacted by one of Obama’s closest personal friends — a guy  who travels on Obama’s plane, who plays basketball with him, who goes on  vacation with him,” Klein said. “His name is Dr. Eric Whitaker. Dr. Whitaker is  the vice president of the University of Chicago Medical Center and he’s a member  of Obama’s very tight inner circle. And he sent an email to a member of the  Trinity United Church of Christ.”

Klein reminded listeners that Whitaker’s hospital is the same one that paid  first lady Michelle Obama $316,962 a year to handle community  affairs for the University of Chicago Medical Center while her husband served in  the U.S. Senate.

New Obama Book Outlines Rift Between Democratic “Dynasties” and Obama: At Odds with the Kennedys and Clintons?

• Despite endorsing Obama in 2008, JFK’s daughter Caroline now considers Obama a “liar,” according to a family source in Edward Klein’s new book on Obama called “The Amateur.”
• Caroline’s past support for Obama, which was mirrored by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, caused a riff in the family. In fact, Klein writes of an incident where Bobby Kennedy Jr. got in his uncle Ted‘s face over Ted’s support for the president.
• Some of the Kennedys’ diminishing support for the president is due to the Obamas snubbing several members of the Kennedy family on multiple occasions — one that sent Ethel Kennedy on a furniture-turning rant.
• But despite the tension, both families know the Kennedys have no one else to support, and that “really pisses [Caroline] off.”

Back in 2008, Caroline Kennedy — the only surviving child of former President John F. Kennedy — delivered a rousing endorsement of Barack Obama. “I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them,” she wrote in the New York Times back then. “But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans.”
