Obama: I Told the Russians to ‘Stop It’ and ‘Cut It Out’ After Hacks

President Barack Obama defended his response to Russia after Wikileaks published emails from top Democrats which disrupted the elections.

“I told Russia to stop it, and indicated there will be consequences when they do it,” he said to reporters during a press conference on Friday.

Obama said that he personally challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin behind the scenes, but he let law enforcement handle the investigations and the release of information.

“In early September when I saw President Putin in China I felt that the most effective way to ensure that that didn’t happen was to talk to him directly and tell him to cut it out, and there were going to be some serious consequences if he didn’t,” he said.

“Our goal continues to be to send a clear message to Russia or others not to do this do to us because we can do stuff to you,” he said.

Okay, but did you stamp your feet and shake your finger at them. How else will they know you're serious.

Obama acts like a grade schooler. Cut it out or we can do something to you. Really? I bet that made Putin shake in his boots. When will Obama learn he has been irrelevant for a long time and he needs to shut up

Someone should have told Stalin to cut it out, years ago.
Ditto for Mao: Cut it out!

Geez. So many lives could have been saved if only Obama had been POTUS decades ago.

Who would have thought it might be just that easy?

When my 5 year old throws his food at the dog, I usually say, "Stop it" or "Cut it out".

It never occurred to me to say such a thing to the President of Russia?

Amazing.

I hope our government wasn't behind the recent assignation of the Russian Ambassador to Turkey. If so, I think WW 3 has just started!

You want to know why our country is in the state it is currently? Look no farther than this. We have an election where the "Russians intervened" (though I don't believe that at all) by exposing the truth. Not once has anyone with substance said that these emails were not real. The individuals exposed the true way the DNC and Dems interacted during the election. And instead of saying this is unacceptable of our politicians, we blame another country for "interfering." This is why children have no discipline, instead of blaming them or the parents we blame teachers and society. Instead of blaming criminals, we blame guns, race, etc. America has learned that we never take responsibility for our actions, we simply blame others for the outcome.

He was just afraid that they would dig up dirt (that was true) on Hillary and Him and the Demoncrates !!!

The Dems just don't like the Truth to get out !!!

Since the media was bought by Dems , no other way to get
the facts out ......

We all know he's as big a liar and fabulist as Hillary and Brian Williams, to name a few; a professional liar.

In the 2012 campaign he was caught on a 'hot mic' telling one of Putin's cronies he'd have more flexibility after the election.

Because his imagined warning to Putin was off camera...it never happened. He can babble on about red lines, stern warnings, dirty looks, scratching his nose with his middle finger, etc. It's all BS and fiction. The only one impressed is himself as he preens in his mirror.

Hope his Obamacare covers his trip to rehab.
