Former President Barack Obama gets honest in his new memoir about his battle for healthcare reform

Emanuel warned Obama that the process of getting the bill passed would lead to unpleasant compromises and a potentially huge backlash. “Making sausage isn’t pretty, Mr. President,” he told his boss. “And you’re asking for a really big piece of sausage.”

In another passage, Obama writes about the rise of the Tea Party movement, which became harder for him to ignore, especially when it resurrected an old rumor from Obama’s campaign days: that he was Muslim and born in Kenya, which would have barred him from serving as president. This lie would eventually be used by Donald Trump to consolidate the base that would help make him Obama’s successor.

“At the White House, we made a point of not commenting on any of this — and not just because [Axelrod] had reams of data telling us that white voters, including many who supported me, reacted poorly to lectures about race,” Obama writes.
