Interesting you think Obama's hands were tied.

As for criticizing Obama's (lack of) response, I was just setting the record straight in repose to Rice93's statement " It seems like Russia's attack on our election process was a monumental uptick in aggression. I'm not satisfied with Trump's response to this attack."

I disagree with your characterization that the Obama admin let it happen. He was stuck without a good option since the other side of the political equation didn't want to do anything. Context is important in understanding the decision. The outrage from the right would have been monumental if Obama had publicly brought to light the Russian efforts to help Trump.

A McConnell is at fault for refusing to go along with Obama's plan to propagandize the interference? Got it. Pure party politics, but only on the part of the Republicans, you say? OK, have it your way.

Maybe his options were not good, but he had options, and he opted to let the Russians continue without interference.

Propagandize the interference? Are you suggesting that the Russian attempts are made up and a lie?

No. Are you wearing your special glasses that let you see what you want me to say?

THE interference. what part of that phrase indicates to you that the interference was made up?

Propagandize. sure, tell the world that Putin wants Trump, and do with McConnell's blessing. What leftist would not love that?

OO --- it seems that lad has the 'people on the right are too ignorant to accede there was interference' bug today. he has hit that particular avenue quite hard today.

damn, I forgot to pray to my orange cheeto effigy. whatever will I do...... but at least I am 'allowed' to think there was interference now. lucky for me that happened, I guess.... I sure am glad lad told me I can think that now. maybe we can get him a gift since he has certainly gifted us with that enlightenment there.
