According to new book Bill Clinton was in no way impressed by Mitt Romney, and had a rather...colorful way of suggesting how lucky Obama was to be running against him.

Bill Clinton said President Obama was "luckier than a dog with two d---s" for catching lucky break after lucky break during the 2012 presidential race while Republican challenger Mitt Romney crashed and burned in his campaign.

"Romney's ineptness staggered Clinton," according to a new political tell-all about the contest, "Double Down," by journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, Politico reported.

"He really shouldn't be speaking to people in public," Clinton said, according to the book, citing Romney's oratory weakness and embarrassing 47% comment that helped derail his bid.

You know I don't think I would have chosen exactly those words to describe the President's fortune with the Romney nomination, but I cannot fault Clinton's assessment of Mitten's constant stumbles and gaffes. At times it did almost seem that Romney was attempting to sabotage his own campaign.

I think I may have to buy this new book by Halperin and Heilemann, just like I did the last one. It seems clear that it contains some very interesting nuggets for political junkies like me.
