Former President Barack Obama was unhappy with Hillary Clinton and her failed “soulless campaign” in 2016, saying he saw her loss as a “personal insult.”

The new details come from a recently released update to New York Times Chief White House Correspondent Peter Baker’s book Obama: The Call of History.

The new edition, which includes Obama’s reaction to the 2016 election, said Obama compared himself to Michael Corleone, the titular character of "The Godfather." Obama thought he “almost got out” of office untouched, like a mob boss avoiding a hit job.

Obama found himself shocked by the election results, thinking before Nov. 8 there was “no way Americans would turn on him” and “[h]is legacy, he felt, was in safe hands.”

Save the shock for the handcuffs.

only a true narcissest would say this.

Only a meglomanic would have it printed.

Only a fool would be trying to regain old powers.

His “legacy”

The largest loss of House seats in a single midterm election in US history (The Rapist held the previous record)

1100 elected Democrat lost their seats nationwide in his 8 years

I saw the initial election of Obama as an insult.

Guess we're even.

Obama’s statement reveals he knew that if the truth about him and his administration ever got out, it would be totally devastating to his “legacy”!

If Obama is Michael Corleone, his “brother” Joe Biden is Fredo (”I’m smart. Not like everybody says, like dumb. I’m smart and I want respect!”).

Well, in a rare moment of honesty, Obama admits hes a criminal. Michael Corleone? Hardly. Maybe Phillip Tattaglia.

“Tattaglia is a pimp. He never could have outfought Santino. But I didn’t know until this day that it was Barzini all along."

Good. I voted to save the country and take the wind out of the Clinton’s sails. If Bammy is offended in the bargain, great.
