Obama?Presser

Fantastic job...Tearing Putin and Republicans Supporting Putin a new one...If Republican’s continue supporting Putin..It will just make our country weaker in every aspect imaginable..Our country will never come together if the people here, make it easier for our political process to be compromised.

He did make it clear that he believes the election was not rigged or hacked..with Finality!

I appreciate his directness on this.. We lost because we have a lot of angry, ignorant, economically depressed people living here.. who do not know where to turn to express their hopelessness and frustration.

Thus the TRUMP Victory...


These are just my takes... nothing more

The only way they can weaken us is by fucking with our all-too-easily turned heads. He said a lot more and it was all worth hearing. Looking forward to seeing the full transcript.

do you really think high level Russian officials went rogue? That in a country where Putin
approves everything, hacking related to another country's--the US--elections process occurred without
Putin's approval.

Yeah. Exactly. I loved that...rogue high level Russian officials.

He said the voting itself wasn't rigged or hacked. If you listened carefully to everything he said, it's clear he thinks Russia had an influence. He is not going to say straight out that it was an unfair election.

he trusts the cyber intelligence community.. Meets with them often and holds the highest respect for the FBI/CIA... States they “Really do care"
