Barry continued to demonstrate he wasn't in Putin's league, as well.
(
Russia hacked the DNC's and other files. The press covered it by just calling it 'Hacking'. This was a MAJOR FAIL on the news media's part because it gave people the impression that it was JUST 'hacking'. Allowing the media to continue to do so was a MAJOR FAIL on the Obama Administration's part because they allowed that perception to continue.
What was really going on was what the military calls 'CYBER WARFARE'. Technically it is an ACT OF WAR. Sitting on your ass complaining about it, writing articles in the media about how it's going on, and treating it like a prank being committed by a bunch of college frat boys is NOT the way to handle it, but that's basically what Obama did.
When the realization hit that it was potentially prevent Hillary from being elected, then AND ONLY THEN did he apparently take it serious ... and HE F*ED UP!
As a government / the President, if you want to strike back at someone or another country for something, like Nike said, 'Just DO IT'. You don't broadcast to the world that you're going to do 'IT'! Not only did Barry declare he was going to retaliate, though, he declared he was thinking of ordering a 'CYBER ATTACK' against Russia.
As I mentioned, 'Cyber Warfare' and 'Cyber Attack' are MILITARY TERMS. Putin and Russia had just quietly been engaged in hacking, that had not even been definitively proven to the world with evidence yet. The US did not go before the UN and show evidence Russia was engaging in Cyber Warfare against the US! They had just been SUSPECTED / ACCUSED of 'doing a little hacking'.
Barry, on the other hand, made the mistake of coming out in front of the whole world to declare he was thinking of ordering a military Cyber Attack against Russia - AN ACT OF WAR. The declaration made the US look like the 'aggressor' and made the Nobel Peace Prize Winner look like a War Monger.
It was a complete Diplomatic FAILURE.
NOW he wants to publicly order an investigation into the hacking to find out what happened AFTER he almost gave the order to launch a military cyber attack against Russia....seemingly without evidence before (because it sounds like he is just now wanting to investigate it).
