Russia has been on the lips of every self-respecting Democrat for the past year. If you remember six years back, it was on the lips of the top Democrat, Barack Obama: “The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.”
Those same Democrats lauded Barack Obama’s pathetic joke in response to GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney calling Russia America’s “number one geopolitical foe”. In fact, Barack Obama was so concerned about the Russians that he colluded with them in private, telling Medvedev, “This is my last election,” Obama said. “After my election, I have more flexibility.”
That doesn’t sound like someone who’s afraid of Russia interfering with American elections. The closest Obama came to talking tough to Russia was to tell Putin to “cut it out” on the sidelines of a summit, and to compile a bizarre list of Russian moneymen to place on the sanctions list.
Even Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) who has been feuding with the White House, said, “At the time, we couldn’t get the Obama administration to acknowledge the Russian interference,” Schiff said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” noting that the response was not “sufficient.” It isn’t clear what impact the Russians had on the 2016 election, other than crazy hyperbole in the aftermath; what is clear is that Barack Obama did precious little and that it’s a good thing the threat wasn’t more substantial because he was asleep at the switch.
