I guess Putin didn't listen to Obama
You mean Putin didn't "cut it out" when Obama told him too? I'm shocked!
Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile said Russian hackers persisted in trying to break into the organization's computers "daily, hourly" until after the election -- contradicting President Obama's assertion that the hacking stopped in September after he warned Russian President Vladimir Putin to "cut it out."
"They came after us absolutely every day until the end of the election. They tried to hack into our system repeatedly," Brazile told ABC's Martha Raddatz in an exclusive interview on "This Week" Sunday.
Obama said at a press conference Friday that Russia's "tampering" with the U.S. election process stopped in early September after he spoke to Putin at an international conference.
I just want to know if when Obama told Putin to "cut it out", if he made the hand gestures Joey used to make when he used that phrase on "Full House".
Between Obama being extremely weak in his relations with Russia and Trump being extremely friendly with Putin, things are not good looking on this front.

Re: I guess Putin didn't listen to Obama
Yes, let's make sure we, after grudgingly admitting Russian meddling happened, pivot to blaming Obama.
What do you suggest that Obama should have done?
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

I don't believe I ever denied Russia meddling happened. In fact, in other threads I said I was in favor of the bi-partisan Senate investigation into this.

For sure, the extreme friendliness is something that could get the US (AND other countries for that matter) into a world of hurt. Russia has shown absolutely NO signs of opening up or reducing its aggressiveness in re-acquiring territories as well as relationships with questionable regimes (Syria would be at the top - just look what has happened to the people of Aleppo !)
