Why did Obama need his permission? RandiFan1290 Jul 2018 #4

I am a fan of President Obama. Blue_true Jul 2018 #5

I agree with you. I voted for him twice, but I think his "go along to get along" policy did not Tipperary Jul 2018 #7

When republicans are clearly in the wrong, our leaders must batter and humiliate them. Blue_true Jul 2018 #11

Don't you think there was a deliberate and considered reason LuckyCharms Jul 2018 #25

I'm sure it was deliberate & considered. And cautious. CrispyQ Jul 2018 #30

By the way, I don't entirely disagree with you... LuckyCharms Jul 2018 #32

I look at their history of being nice, & how the GOP & political landscape has changed, CrispyQ Jul 2018 #40

To be sure, it's not JUST a shithole presidency. The GOP is a shithole party... Beartracks Jul 2018 #58

Agree with both of you. WinstonSmith4740 Jul 2018 #33

Good analysis. n/t LuckyCharms Jul 2018 #35

Perhaps the Democratic Party doesn't use their smarts well enough. pangaia Jul 2018 #34

If roles were reversed, do you think a Rep. Admin. would have hesitated to release the info? Garrett78 Jul 2018 #13

No they would not have hesitated, but there is a reason for that. LuckyCharms Jul 2018 #16

Which is why Democrats need to be much more blunt/provocative about the Republican base. Garrett78 Jul 2018 #26

I agree with your points. n/t LuckyCharms Jul 2018 #29

Good plan. pangaia Jul 2018 #36

So? GeorgeGist Jul 2018 #49

Someone could have accidentally leaked it. Oops. R B Garr Jul 2018 #18

Yep. Garrett78 Jul 2018 #27

Didn't Obama also put sanctions on putin, another demanding he stop it, duforsure Jul 2018 #28

Obama thought Hillary Clinton would continue ahead in polls and win. Ilsa Jul 2018 #39

So for purely political reasons he ignored the Russian attack? former9thward Jul 2018 #46

He was pretty much screwed either way, IMO. Ilsa Jul 2018 #59
