Snippets of the forthcoming 630-page Steve Jobs biography continue to leak out ahead of its Monday release date.  The latest excerpt details a conversation Jobs had with President Obama last year.

ABC News reports Jobs told Obama “you're headed for a one-term presidency.”  And he didn’t stop there.

“He told Obama that the United States needed to become more business-friendly if it did not want to lose its edge. He talked about how much easier it was to build a factory in China than in the U.S., where there were too many regulations and needless costs. And he complained about the U.S. education system, saying unions protected bad teachers and kept principals from hiring good ones.”

Jobs’ cancer diagnosis and treatment is also featured in the book.  He reportedly put off surgery for his pancreatic cancer for nine months, opting instead to seek herbal remedies, a choice he later regretted.  Jobs died on Oct. 5.
