Scathing criticism of President Obamas 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, Whats 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.
Its a mess and whats worse, its 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 hes 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 Obamas 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.

You beat me to it. Exactly my thoughts.
This is a very short list of the venom this psychopath has spit in the face of Western civilization. If BO had his way we would all be enjoying his African traditions, of sport murder, cannibalism, no written language, no math, no engineering, and maybe habitation in a mud hut.
the recent russian action creates no mess because it will be ignored by the real pl playersthe action in isreal can be ignored because it can not be enfkrced
Honestly, it seems to me that TRUMP is so easily true to himself that he will blow right past this display of Obama having a public tantrum.
I actually wondered if it was TRUMP who advised Putin to take the high road in his reaction to President Stompy Foot, in order to draw a greater contrast in maturity, between the ass in a melt down at the White House and the leader of RUSSIA.
I thought Putin was TRUMP-esque and scored a huge global win with the public at large.
Exactly
He seems to be sending a message to all the idiots who voted for him that they were total fools but many of them still won’t see it. He could walk down Fifth Avenue setting fires and there would still be fools who would sing his praises.
Everyone that is surprised by this turn of events, raise your hand.
I didn’t think so.
I expect to see him try to make the bullets start flying both domestically and elsewhere in the remaining 3 weeks.
When enormous egotism is combined with incredible stupidity.....Voila! America has had an foreign Muslim, nation-hating communist in the White Hut for eight years busily constructing Molotov cocktails to toss at Americans and their institutions.
Never has one so insignificant and small done so much damage to a nation, thanks to that segment of voters who are as dumb as a sack of dog feces.
Obama looks totally defeated in that pic. If he was white....he'd be red as a beet.
I think the faces of the people in the background of this photo speak volumes. They know a loser when they see one...
So very true...You liberal lurkers....THIS is what you voted for...Fools....
Obama, alone, has made Putin come off as “Mr. Congeniality”.
Obama has crammed his evil machinations down the throat of Christians in the USA, particularly the Catholics, forcing the Church to adopt out children to queer “couples” or else close. They closed. He forced the Church to provide abortion coverage to staff or face debilitating fines and he forced abortions upon Catholic hospitals, etc., etc.
Putin presently has zero tolerance for messing with the Church and has restored the Russian Orthodox Catholic Church in Russia and its famed churches. For that alone, Putin is miles ahead of the Muslim in the White House.
He is acting like a Section-8 tenant who is trashing the reantal after finding out he is being evicted.
Trump should offer Obama an ambassadorship to Russia.
Never saw that video before. Amazing. Obama was humiliated.
Obama should have done just the opposite and invited Russia to install 35 new spies and open a new safe house. Then Trump could do the reductions. Presidents used to coordinate these transitions. Not O of course.
