Where is President Obama on the election? [View all]

He's been awfully quiet on all the issues surrounding the election and its aftermath.

He's done nothing about Comey, while the punditocracy is placing the blame squarely on his shoulders, along with the Russian hacking.

Maybe he's doing something in the background regarding a response to the Russians, but nothing substantive in public.


And, while we're at it, where is the MSM on 100 pt headlines regarding the Russians, the pending corruption, the intimate ties with Putin, the billionaire cabinet, the utterly treasonous behavior by what was once the GOP, the cricket silence from the so-called mainstream Republicans, and more. It's all just sort of news, as if this is normal. I guess we all learned nothing from the rise of the Third Reich. Because we're seeing something damn near comparable now, and it's ho hum all around.
