Are we seriously playing this game?
Obama was talking about the Russian meddling while Trump was calling it a hoax and you are seriously going to listen to his blathering about Obama not doing anything. The Obama administration has said they regret they didn't do enough, but Trump really doesn't have a box to stand on here. He only shifted to this narrative now that he can't deny that the meddling didn't happen anymore.
Also, what exactly was Obama supposed to do to stop this meddling? Censor Facebook?

What are you talking about? didn't do enough of what exactly?? according to Obama, there was no meddling in the elections. So which is it? Was there meddling or was Obama lying? and don't go splitting hairs about what Obama was specifically referring to in the quote below - the quote stands on its own merits and is not in any way ambiguous, it's clear that nothing was or is effecting the political process in the US, not even 16 Russians..

The elections weren't rigged. Please drop that strawman fallacy. The meddling has to do with Russian bot farms spreading fake news and disinfo to shift and control public opinion. It has ALWAYS been about that.
"But increasingly, we are seeing cyber attacks coming from states, organs of states. The most recent and troubling of these has been Russia. There's no doubt now that Russia has used cyber attacks against all kinds of organizations in our country, and I am deeply concerned about this. I know Donald's very praiseworthy of Vladimir Putin, but Putin is playing a really ... tough, long game here. And one of the things he's done is to let loose cyber attackers to hack into government files, to hack into personal files, hack into the Democratic National Committee." — Hillary Clinton (presidential debate, transcript via CNN), Sept. 26, 2016

I personally find it ironic the Trump has more lapdog than any president I can remember.
People constantly carry his argument strait from his tweets. They fully support anything he does.
Obama may have had his share but they at least got pissed when his rediculous promises didn't come to be.
Personally as someone who calls it all bullcrap. It's amusing to watch.
It's amusing to watch the ohh poor white people under attack because some crazy liberals said something in news crowd. Same people who say ignore the nazis and they will go away.
Fighting extremism with rational calm independent thought is gone I guess.

Ignoring nazis is the sole dominion of the left...
“Neville Chamberlain” ring any bells?
I’ll give you the one sentence he deserves:
In typical liberal fashion, he chose to avoid conflict with “talk”....
I find it rather funny u would use “ignoring nazis and they will go away” as an argument...
Because Nazis nearly took over the western world when ignored..
That’s what socialists do, by the way....they take all the power...
The National Socialist Party (NAZI) sought control over every aspect of German life...
They controlled everything from healthcare to railroads...
And when they were done with Germany, they wanted everyone to follow their rule...
They were typical socialists...despotic and controlling every one of them

Yes. That is yet another way the Russians meddled in our elections.
