President Obama warned Russia on Friday not to wage cyberwarfare against the United States, saying, “We can do stuff to you” as he defended his handling of Moscow’s alleged hacking of Democrats’ emails to influence the 2016 election.

“Our goal continues to be to send a clear message to Russia or others not to do this to us, because we can do stuff to you,” Obama told reporters at his final press conference of 2016.

Putin must feel like the master jewel thief accused of shoplifting a candy bar.

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

Ut-oh. I see a strongly worded memo in Russia’s future.

Seriously though, threatening retribution against a foreign government/leader for (at most) revealing/reiterating Hill n’ ilks behavin’ badly (which the MSM blatantly ignored anyway)? This is incredibly irresponsible language
and precisely what these hypocrites accuse Trump of. Yet according to even them, no actual vote counts were changed via hacking...can they say the same about voter fraud? All these Dem recount/hacking/etc antics, indvertently to their chagrin, scream for an electoral audit.

I LOVE that pic on Matt’s Twitter feed.

“Attention WalMart shoppers. Clean up on aisle ‘diapers and baby products’. “

I think o’muslim has tapeworms - which is where he gets the “we” crap...

[Moonlighter]

Ouch, bet that one left a mark on that egoaholic. When did this happen?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

He loves “folks”, too.

I certainly hope Obama didn’t use this schoolboy phrase ‘do stuff to you’. The Russians know enough American English to realize how amateur that sounds. But I wouldn’t put it past him. He still thinks every word he says is a show stopping world event.

It must have been embarrassing for world leaders to actually have to talk to someone who was sitting at the kiddie table for the last eight years...

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yes he did. Also to Egypt. AND Cameron was allowed here to lobby during a vote.

[Moonlighter]

That is so great - the middle one is a perfect graphic depiction of what happened in this election.

[kiryandil]

Even if all this Russian hacking stuff WERE true why would a president advertise what he might or might not do?

Because Muslims aren't really that bright after all?

If you like your Russian cyber-warfare, you can keep your Russian cyber-warfarr

It’s also his “Haven’t Changed My Astronaut Pants In A Week” face...

+1. Could’ve have said it better myself.

[luvie]

he’s WAY more gay than Milo could ever be!

[Moonlighter]

Lol and so telling.

[kiryandil]

And they said that President Trump has no discipline with his Twitter account.

This is like the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot of '44, and nary a Trump Tweet to be seen.

Maybe acknowledging "Kiddie Table" 0bama is beneath the new President...

Boy President blunders again. Fortunately, Putin knows he is a chickenshit sissy who would run away like a girl instead of actually mixing it up with Putin.

I want to tell everybody, that I have personally captured a live 9ft tall Sasquatch, and have him chained up in my basement.

You were a canny lad to adopt a unicorn from the shelter.

It keeps the Sasquatch calm, I'm told.

You're meddling with powers which, like a woman's body,
you know nothing about.
