Scathing criticism of President Obama’s decision to expel 35 Russian diplomats is pouring in, with the perhaps curious exception of the leaders of the Republican establishment.
A senior congressional staff member told WND, “What’s amazing to me is how the Obama administration is pursuing a scorched earth policy and attempting to destroy our international relationships across the spectrum from Russia to Israel on their way out the door.”
The aide noted the U.K. and Australia “are openly at odds with them.”
“It’s a mess – and what’s worse, it’s an unnecessary one,” the top staffer concluded.
Rep. Dave Brat, R-Va., said Obama “seems intent on setting the world on fire the month before he leaves office.”
“First he betrays our ally Israel, and is now taking retaliatory action against Russia all within a week,” the congressman continued.
“And he’s doing this without any consultation with Congress, that has yet to see a promised report providing proof that Russia interfered in our election. So, why now?”
“Memo to the president: You lost,” editorialized the New York Post.
“In his waning days in the White House,” the paper continued, “President Obama is desperately trying to make his policies as permanent as possible by tying the hands of his successor,” by presenting President-elect Donald Trump “with a foreign-policy crisis immediately upon taking office.”
Even the left-leaning New York Times conceded Obama’s move “appeared intended to box in President-elect Trump, who will now have to decide whether to lift the sanctions on Russian intelligence agencies when he takes office next month.”

Hope sessions picks off his criminal protectors and supporters until he’s left vulnerable and he lowers the boom on this POS
Although this would be a very good thing as everything obama touches or is involved with soon turns to ... well ... "obama" and this could happen to the world terrorist-backing organization known as the U.N.
But I don't think this is what obama really wants because the position of Secretary General requires a lot of work ... and obama has demonstrated clearly over the past eight years that he is far too lazy to take on such responsibilities; that is, while he'd like the title he's not interested in the job.
Permanent member nations’ citizens can’t be secretary general of the UN.
Thanks. Didn’t know that!
He needs to be arrested for treason the minute after Trump is inaugurated as President. Felonious Punk should be charged with everything!
Well said!
I just hope I live to see him and Hillary sent to the slammer for treason.
That; plus he was mentally measuring for new wallpaper. That striped stuff is goshawful, as is the rest of the furnishings the Zero's put in. Donald is sizing up where to put the Churchill bust, and will probably have one made of Ronald Reagan, as well. (MLK can stay, tho.)
They call themselves Africans- Americans. This means they are Africans first and I am fine with that. 88% for Hillary means 98% for Barack Hussein.
Burned earth policy, should make for an forgettable legacy that nobody will be able to forget.
I put nothing past him at this point.
He’s a sociopath at the very least. Give him power, again, and he’ll do whatever damage he can do.
The UN needs to be neutered.
He shouldn’t have been President either, but he was.
Jus’ sayin’...
