Daily Mail: EXCLUSIVE: 'This stings!' How Obama saw Trump's victory as a 'personal insult,' watched the movie Dr. Strange to distract himself from election results and blamed Hillary for the loss because of her 'scripted, soulless campaign'
* The new edition of 'Obama: The Call Of History' by New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker lays bare Obama's fury over the election results
* The book was originally released in July 2017 but has been updated with extensive new reporting - and the run through of election day is electrifying
* Obama arrogantly thought there was 'no way Americans would turn on him' even though Clinton was far from perfect
* He likened himself to Michael Corleone in the Godfather and said he was handing power over to somebody who would destroy his legacy
Barack Obama admitted 'this stings' after the 2016 election result and spent the night watching the movie Dr Strange to try and distract himself, a new book claims.
The former president went from being confident that Hillary Clinton would beat Donald Trump to seeing it as a 'personal insult' that she lost.
Obama could not believe the American people had 'turned on him' for a man he had written off as a 'cartoon'.
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'.
The eye-popping details are in the new edition of 'Obama: The Call Of History' by New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker.

WNU Editor: Former President Obama's assessment on how Hillary Clinton ran her campaign is right. She did lack energy and focus in the states that would have made a difference in the 2016 campaign. As for the rest .... it is no secret that the former President despises the current President, and I suspect that it is going to get worse as his legacy continues to be dismantled by President Trump.
