Where has Obama been all summer on this Russian hack?

[SHRED]

I appreciate him demanding a report now but why in the Hell did he wait?
Was the appearance of partisanship placed at a higher importance than the security of our country?

[BeyondGeography]

1. He thought HRC would win anyway

and she would have been much better off as Prez without him having entered the fray.

[SHRED]

2. Where can I go to read where he said that?

[BeyondGeography]

3. His book next year

IOW, I'm guessing that was a big part of it.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

4. Sprinkling baby powder on the bottoms of Republican leaders...

... when they should have been put in rock-filled burlap bags and tossed in a lake a long time ago.

[SHRED]

5. Keeping up appearances.

[sofa king]

6. He was practically shouting in your faces, all summer long.

The CIA's mouthpieces warned all of us that Trump was in bed with the Russians, scarcely a week after the Republican Convention, and in some cases, before it:

Then, the President stepped into the race and told all of you that Trump was "unfit" and "not qualified" for the job:

And of course, plenty of us here at DU were telling ALL OF YOU THE EXACT SAME FUCKING THING, all summer long.

Surprise, motherfuckers! Not paying attention has severe consequences.

[SHRED]

7. I must have missed his press conference where he addressed the nation

[sofa king]

11. Yes, you did.

You have some catching up to do. No sarcasm thingy.

[SHRED]

13. Multi topic

He needed to address Russia directly.

But then again...

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said on Friday that despite Russian attempts to undermine the presidential election, it has concluded that the results “accurately reflect the will of the American people.”

15. Too complex and confusing? I thought it was GOPers who couldn't deal with that.

[SHRED]

17. My response was complex I guess you missed this

18. plus 1

The Obama administration was WRONG in saying:
"that despite Russian attempts to undermine the presidential elections, it has concluded that the results 'accurately reflect the will of the American people.'"

Obama's own NSA Chief and ALL the US intelligence agencies concluded otherwise, so why the hell did he issue that bullshit statement on 11/25?

Obama lied!

[SHRED]

20. It looks that way...sadly

[Hekate]

14. TY for setting the record straight

Amazing what Democrats missed while fuming about Hillary

[SHRED]

16. Did you miss this?

This is way beyond FUBAR.

[RoccoR2]

10. Timeline is Very Confusing n/t

[red dog 1]

19. Good question!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

[red dog 1]

21. HUGE K&R!

[Skittles]

22. he still wants their approval
