BOOK: Barack Obama Raged After Trump Defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016 – Blamed Hillary For ‘Scripted, Soulless Campaign’
Barack Obama raged after Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election and blamed her loss on her ‘scripted, soulless campaign,’ according to a new edition of book penned by NYT chief WH correspondent Peter Baker.
But how could this be? Hillary Clinton and her stenographers in the media said she lost the 2016 election because of the Russians…
The new edition of ‘Obama: The Call of History’ by New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker reveals Barack Obama was so arrogant that he thought Hillary’s victory was a sure thing because there was ‘no way Americans would turn on him.’
Obama took Hillary Clinton’s loss as a ‘personal insult’ because he thought of himself as Michael Corleone in the Godfather and said he was handing over power to someone who would destroy is legacy.
The Daily Mail reported:
As the dust settled Obama told his family that ‘this hurts’ and blamed Clinton who ‘brought many of her troubles on herself’ and ran a ‘scripted, soulless campaign’.
Obama even likened himself to Michael Corleone in the Godfather movies and said he was handing power over to somebody who would destroy his legacy.
As Obama saw it he ‘almost got out’ of the White House unscathed just like the mob boss nearly survived without being whacked.
Baker writes that Obama woke up on the morning of November 8 2016 convinced he would ‘not be handing the nuclear football over to Donald Trump – the reality television star, he thought, was a joke’.
Obama arrogantly thought there was ‘no way Americans would turn on him’ even though Clinton was far from perfect.
Baker writes: ‘She was a serious and seasoned professional who had served at the highest levels of government and provided mature leadership. Just as important, she would continue his policies and cement his biggest achievements.
‘His legacy, he felt, was in safe hands’.
Given that Obama had no formal role in the election he went to the White House movie theater with his wife Michelle and adviser Valerie Jarrett where they watched Dr Strange, the superhero movie starring Benedict Cumberbatch. more....
