Why did Obama do nothing about Russia?

Donald Trump blames Russia for election meddling, faults Barack Obama for doing nothing - Washington Times

This is an extremely important question raised by our president and something the left for some reason wants to ignore. Why did Obama not act? Did he choke because he was weak or did he do it intentionally?

I personally believe Obama knew what he was doing. The man is not an idiot but he is very much a zealot. I think looking back we will view Obama's 2 terms as of weakness and of stupid economic/foreign policies.

Even James Comey, a cowardly Republican was willing to investigate, yet our former president didn't. That speaks volumes to the corruptness and arrogance of Barack Obama.

Trump was already threatening to call the election a fraud if he didn't win. Can you imagine the constitutional crisis we would have faced if Obama had dared to even raise the issue and look like he was trying to push the election toward Hillary?

Trump and his supporters were crazed and rabid and there was no telling what they would've done if Obama had raise this as a possible issue. They were cheering on Julian Assange already for using Russian intelligence to help their candidate. Do you think they would have cared anyway even if Putin himself had come out and confessed to interfering? I think Obama probably just weighed these issues and decided to err toward being overly conservative and cautious on this issue. If so many people were that eager to go bang their head bloody against a brick wall by electing Trump, then let them try it out for a while and get it out of her system, he probably thought. Then maybe we can get back to discussing things rationally and running the country in a functional manner. Sometimes you just gotta let people get things out of their system for a while before you can move on.

I never said Obama raised taxes. I said they went up under Obama from what people paid under Bush. And they did.

To deny that is either a purposeful lie or ignorance.


Your link admits taxes went up then does it's best to say But but but and try to deny it. It's totally hypocritical of itself.

Ok so at least now you are admitting that there are increases. You're making progress and being honest that's a step in the right direction. Congratulations.

Now we can debate on how significant the impact of those increases ,that you now admit did actually happen.
