It’s not likely that Barack Obama will admit that he
made a mistake, but he’s certainly re-evaluating his criticism of Mitt Romney in
the 2012 general campaign when Obama stated that Russia is no longer a threat
in the 21st Century and that Mitt’s warning about a strong, dangerous
Russia was ancient 1980s thinking.
After playing kissy-face with Vladimir Putin while
negotiating the removal of missiles from Eastern Europe, and after he assured
the world that Russia played no part in any hacking that appeared to happen
during the recent presidential campaign, and add to this Obama flip-flop the
fact that the entire world knows that Obama sent his own people to Israel to
campaign against Netanyahu in that nation’s latest Prime Ministerial election (in
other words, Obama was meddling in Israel’s election), Barack Obama is talking
tough with Russia for what he calls Putin’s meddling in America’s latest
election, which saw Obama’s hand-picked candidate get beaten badly in spite of
his personal involvement and his campaigning for Hillary, in which he told her followers
that his policies and his ideas were up for re-election with Hillary on the
ballot and to defeat her would be to defeat him and his legacy. Well, both he
and Hillary went down in flames, and Obama has still not recovered.
In the last three weeks of the Obama administration,
this is the first time in eight years (except for the phony red line he
promised in Syria, which was his usual hollow, meaningless threat) that he’s threatened any nation with real,
defined punishment that may be measurable and that could have repercussions resulting
from the threat, and even at that, he’s only threatening a sanction on Russia,
and Putin eats that type of childish threat for lunch.
Crimea and Ukraine were not a big enough deal to upset
Obama, but hacking Hillary’s email server or the DNC computer system really
makes Obama mad.
All our fool president is doing is trying to make
Donald Trump’s life more difficult and get his presidency off to a shaky start,
and he’s making life for Americans more difficult as well, as the man they
elected president has to stumble over road blocks put in his way by the outgoing
president. Obama’s actions in this regard are unforgivable considering the
problems he’s causing America.
