Former President Obama viewed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's 2016 loss to President Trump as a "personal insult" and a defeat of his own legacy, according to new updates to a 2017 book.
Updates to New York Times correspondent Peter Baker's history of the Obama presidency, "Obama: The Call of History," published by the Daily Mail, detail how the president was overcome with anger in the days following Clinton's defeat to Trump, which Obama saw as a result of her inability to translate his policy successes into a winnable message.
"Obama may not have been on the ballot, but it was hard not to see the vote as a 'personal insult,' as he had called it on the campaign trail," Baker writes, according to Fox News.
"This stings," Obama said after the election, according to Baker. "This hurts."

ReplyDeleteThen he's as distanced from the electorate as she is, not able to see the common folk except as tools. People get tired of being used.
Obama and policy successes don't go together. 150 billion to a terrorist nation and now we've been forced to send an aircraft carrier group to watch over Iran inevitably falling. 150 BILLION DOLLARS to fund terrorism. That's some great work there Obama supporters
ReplyDelete8 years of his time in office (plus more time as a senator in corrupt Chitcago) was an insult, failure, mistake, and a stain on this country. Think of Trump as the mop-up guy.
ReplyDeleteI wish it said assaulted
ReplyDeleteIf Obama believes that, he's right.
