How wonderful is it of Obama to get tough with the Russians on his way out the door?

8 years of sounding no alarm to Russian attempts to undermine elections here, there and everywhere you find Russians.

    I think ANYTHING Obama tried to do was thwarted by the House and Senate. 

    How privy he was to the Ruskies, only he knows.    I think had he known he WOULD do something.

    On the news this morning he told them to stop, I bet you feel safer now. If he feels that wasn't tough enough he will tell them again but louder that should do it.

    What SPECIFICALLY would you have had President Obama do in the past 8 years with respect to Russia that he has not done?

    As I understand it, Congress was informed of the Russian election hacking, and there was a stalemate as Democratic members of Congress wanted to release the information, while GOP members thought such revelations would unduly influence the election. Also, there was some disagreement between the FBI and the CIA about the extent of the problem (I've heard they've since compared notes and come to a consensus).

    I think President Obama was somewhat hamstrung by the above political realities.
