Barack is not going to stoop to his level which is just what he wants him to do. Always keep it classy. Now as for if Obama should have done things different, hindsight is 20/20. He did the thing he thought was best at the time with the information he had. He also thought Hillary was going to win and the whole situation could get handled after the election. So when you look back on it maybe it was a mistake, but it wasn't at the time. So I have no fault to place on him sine he didn't do anything intentional. Trump is just playing a blame game by trying to make it everybody else fault as usual so we forget about all the BS he did involving Russia.

Just like their "dear leader," Trump sycophants continue their efforts to make Truth, Facts and Reality….ALL totally irrelevant.

Hannity Says He And Gingrich Have Been ‘Sole Voice’ Of ‘Sanity In The Media’

He also called for Hillary Clinton’s emails to be investigated. Again. [..] – HuffPost

So there you have it folks. In Trump's world, Up is down, down is sideways, sideways is round, round is square and on and on it goes..smh.

Meanwhile the world looks on in utter disbelief.

I expressed my astonishment at how easily this pathologically twisted fool continues to *play* the news media at will, 24/7.

Most of cable news, in particular, is just pitiful these days. They hang onto his every word no matter how outlandish and/or patently false his statements or tweets…repeating his crap ad nauseam as if any of it is has any relation to Truth or Facts. It's all pure *reality-show* BS to keep his base fired up and keep the media distracted.

Of course Pres. Obama didn't "collude" with the Russians in any way, shape or form. He did, however, allow *politics* to guide his handling – or rather MIS-handling – of the situation. And that was a monumentally costly error in judgement on his part.

"It Took Two to Make Russian Meddling Effective"

Excerpt:

And then there was Obama’s mysterious reluctance, as described by many of his advisers, “to put his thumb on the scale” and influence the election, even as he and Michelle Obama were campaigning for Hillary Clinton all over the country and coining anti-Trump memes like “Come on, man.”

Obama’s meticulously overwrought response was, in effect, no response at all. Along with all the synapses firing inside a competitive, non-monolithic system, it was a weapon in the hands of the Russians. It is the way terrorists operate, turning an open system against itself—the way, for example, the 9/11 hijackers weaponized things like student visas and the freedom to travel. What the Russians were able to do with that, though, is exactly the kind of thing they have long—and sometimes fairly—accused the Americans of doing: getting a friendly leader installed in a strategically vital country.

The question is, what could Obama have done differently?

The answer is painfully obvious: He could’ve done exactly what he did after the election, but before the election. “If the U.S. government had come out and done what they did in December 2016 [in releasing an intelligence-community assessment on the interference] in July, it would’ve had an even bigger effect,” said Dmitri Alperovitch, the Russian American founder of the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, which was brought in by the DNC to analyze the hack.

When Obama did make the attack public, the amount of panic and political dust kicked up by the release of the intelligence report in January, along with the congressional investigations it triggered, proved debilitating for Russian ambitions. The Russians lost their main ally in the White House, Michael Flynn, who was pushing President Trump to unilaterally lift Russia sanctions. […] – The Atlantic, 6-23-17
