Conservative radio host Mark Levin slammed former President Barack Obama’s new memoir in a Twitter post on the same day the book was released.
“Summing up Obama’s latest 800 page autobiography: why I hate racist America, which made me, an inexperienced leftist, President, and since leaving office, made my wife and me extraordinarily wealthy for doing virtually nothing,” Levin tweeted Tuesday.

The memoir, A Promised Land, hit shelves on Tuesday and has already been widely acclaimed by the traditional news media, including the New York Times, which called Obama “as fine a writer as they come.”
“My memoir, A Promised Land, is out today,” Obama tweeted Tuesday. “I hope you’ll read it. My goal was to give you some insight into the events and people that shaped me during the early years of my presidency. Most of all, I hope it inspires you to see yourself playing a role in shaping a better world.”

In the memoir, Obama discusses race relations in America, saying that the country was “spooked by a black man in the White House” when he was elected in 2008 and took aim at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, blaming her for deteriorating race relations in the country.
“Through Palin, it seemed as if the dark spirits that had long been lurking on the edges of the modern Republican Party — xenophobia, anti intellectualism, paranoid conspiracy theories, an antipathy toward Black and brown folks — were finding their way to center stage,” Obama wrote about her ascension to the nomination for vice president on the GOP ticket in 2008.
