Good thing that didn’t happen then.
Unfortunately, our IC - along with independent third parties - disagree with you. Appointing officials with direct ties to Putin doesn’t help your case either. It’s starting to unravel.
Even if it’s just the hacking of emails. That someone is so partisan they don’t see the horror in a foreign power using hacking as a political weapon. Because next time it could be against your side.

“This was based on evidence and data that traced Russian hackers who handed off material to Russian operatives known to the CIA, who in turn handed the material over to WikiLeaks. There it was weaponized to damaged Hillary Clinton and boost Trump.”
> “Trump’s transition team immediately shot back at the CIA.”
>
“Retired CIA leadership has been pushing back hard against Trump’s dismissal of their analysis.”
Conclusion: “Trump Attacks CIA, Defends Russia Following Intelligence Report” and “Trump’s rhetoric virtually confirms the worst fears that he is an agent of a rival state, that his inauguration would effectively signal a foreign occupation of the American government.”
Solution: “It is the obligation of the Electoral College to block a foreign power from raising its own agent to the American presidency.”
This is some real Mickey Mouse stuff. So, because there is an alleged connection that blames Russia for helping to expose Hillary’s emails and because Trump doubts the veracity of this theory, that means that Trump is “attacking” the CIA and “defending” Russia and therefore he is an agent of Russia and the Electors must vote for Hillary. Am I getting this all right?
Oh, and I enjoyed how they stated “Trump is reportedly only attending one intelligence briefing a week.” Yeah, he’s not even in office yet.
You know why they created these briefings? Truman had no clue about the Manhattan Project going in. Maybe if he wants to at least act a little professional, he should get at least a little prepared.
The delicious coincidence was today he appointed his second Putin stooge as SoS - who was also CEO of Exxon.
Anonymous asked: Obama brought unemployment to a 9 year low, got marriage equality legal, saved a suffering economy, passed healthcare reforms that insured millions and saved lives, killed Osama Bin Laden, brewed beer in the White House, and didn't start a nuclear war. All the while being blocked continuously by republicans in congress which all took oaths to obstruct everything he would do. That's why we will miss him.
Something happening while Obama is in office does not automatically mean it is his achievement. And half of these things aren’t great Presidential achievements anyway.
Obama brought unemployment to a 9 year low. Saved a suffering economy.
First off, Obama did not save a suffering economy. He came into office when the U.S. was in what is commonly known as “the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression”. Considering that he came in when the economy was low, his success was low. At that time, any improvement at all, no matter how small, would seem much larger. Under Obama, the economy grew at a rate of 1.6%, which really isn’t that much. It’s pretty average. It’s even less than the economy grew when Bush first took office and he came in at an economic high.
And despite the low unemployment rate, poverty rate have remained the same or gotten higher, especially for black americans and the quality of life has decreased and millions more people are on welfare instead of working. That is not what I call a good economy.
Got marriage equality legal
Um, no he didn’t. The Supreme Court did which Obama had nothing to do with.
Passed healthcare reforms that insured millions and saved lives
Yeah, Obamacare sucks which is another thing I mentioned in the response I wrote which I assume is what you’re responding to and I’m now starting to doubt you even read it all the way through. People have lost their healthcare because of Obamacare, were not able to keep their doctors because of Obamacare, it increased the cost of healthcare and it only insured millions because it basically punished people who didn’t have healthcare, it took money out of medicaid and took away people’s option to purchase whatever healthcare they wanted. Obamacare was disaster and should be repealed.
Killed Osama Bin Laden
I already addressed this point in the post I’m now sure you didn’t bother to read. Obama did not kill Osama Bin Laden. It was not his achievement. The Navy Seals killed Bin Laden in a mission that was started by Bush and the most Obama can be credited for with that is not ending it. Just because they completed their mission when Obama was in office does not mean it was Obama’s achievement. As I said before, if 9/11 had happened under Obama, we would have been screwed.
There are lots of Presidents who didn’t start a nuclear war. But if you want to talk about things Obama didn’t do, I’ve got a lot to add that list. Most of them are things he should have done.
All the while being blocked continuously by republicans in congress which all took oaths to obstruct everything he would do. That’s why we will miss him.
Of course. It wouldn’t be a true attempt at defending Obama if you didn’t blame Republicans somewhere. I’m glad there were Republicans making sure he didn’t screw up the country. It must be easy to pretend your President was amazing if you can just blame all his non-achievements and the fact he barely did anything on Republicans.
Blocking a nomination who had cancer so they died before they could get their position, just to cause personal harm to Obama. Blocking a SC nomination for a year and a half. Just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Republican obstructionism. I’m sure they’ll be shocked - shocked! - when the Dems do the same to them. You perfect the book on obstructionism, it comes back to bite you.
Obama has done pretty well. Perfect? No way - he could have done better. Namely his mistake was thinking there was any possible way Republicans would work with him. Luckily the country agrees as he has record high approval ratings not only for his administration but for a leaving President.
