Obama Warns Russia, "We can do stuff to you."
2016-12-18
Golly. How intimidating. Don't call his bluff, guys.
President Obama warned Russia on Friday not to wage cyber warfare against the United States, saying, "We can do stuff to you" as he defended his handling of Moscow's alleged hacking of Democrats' emails to influence the 2016 election.

"Our goal continues to be to send a clear message to Russia or others not to do this to us, because we can do stuff to you," Obama told reporters at his final press conference of 2016.

His comments came shortly after it was disclosed that the FBI agrees with the CIA's conclusions that Russia targeted Democrats with the aim of helping President-elect Donald Trump win on Nov. 8.

Obama promised that any U.S. retaliation against Russia would come "in a thoughtful, methodical way" that might be hidden from the U.S. public.

"Some of it we do publicly, some of it we will do in a way that they know but not everybody will," he said. "The message will be directly received by the Russians and not publicized."

Obama defended his response to Moscow's alleged intrusion, saying, "We handled it the way it should have been handled."
This pernicious Obama regime is doing everything it can to not give legitimacy to the American people's election decision. Obama truly is a Soros, anti-American plant. Wikileaks said their information did not come from the Russians, but Presidente Zero stays with a Russian hacking theory.

#14  Okay. On this Sunday via MSM the regime is trying to tie all of their lies hacked Russia hacked the election to make Donald Trump a Russian puppet.

At least he is not a puppet of Iran like Obama was.

#13  Baraq had eight years to do something and he failed. If I was Putin I don't think I'd be terribly concerned.

#12  On the other hand, the record shows what happens to a useful idiot when they're not useful any more to these guys. See - bad luck

I've held for a long time that Obama's usefulness as a live ex President probably isn't as valuable to The Cause as a Martyred ex president would be. He should really keep a LOW profile upon his retirement.

#10  Do we send sternly worded letters, or is that strictly the UN's gig?

#1  His drooling followers call him eloquent and professorial. I don't. His speech is stumbling at best as he searches for words.
