“This is really a disturbing news,” responded Kosachev’s deputy, Alexei Chepa. According to the politician, Obama’s goal was simply to create new problems for President-elect Donald Trump—more obstacles in building better relations with Russia. “It creates additional difficulties for the [Trump] administration to overcome later.”It doesn’t get any richer than that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, the man who Obama told in 2012 he’d have more "flexibility" after his re-election, is now saying that the Obama administration was ending its term in "anti-Russia death throes." "It is regrettable that the Obama administration, which started out by restoring our ties, is ending its term in an anti-Russia death throes. RIP," Medvedev, who served as president in 2009 when Obama tried to improve Russia-U.S. relations, wrote on his official Facebook page. (ZeroHedge, Dec. 30, 2016)
“We have been saying this all along,” Maria Zakharova, an official representative of the Russian Ministry for Foreign Affairs, posted later in the day on Facebook, “people [who] inhabited the White House for 8 years are not Administration but a bunch of foreign policy losers, angry and primitive. Today, Obama admitted this officially. The most amazing thing is that, having not been able to write down into the history of the Presidency any achievements on international arena, the Nobel Prize Laureate managed to put a fat blob instead of elegant dot… Today, America, American people were humiliated by their own President. Not by international terrorists or foreign enemy’s troops. It’s a curtain time. [The] ugly show is over. The whole world, from stalls to the gallery, had been watching the crashing blow to the prestige of America and to its leadership, caused by Barak Obama and his illiterate foreign policy team that opened to the world her biggest secret – exclusiveness was a mask for helplessness. And no enemy of the United States could have done worse damage.” (Observer)Obama is departing office trying to blame Russia for doing exactly what he so abysmally failed to do: hack the U.S. election. There is no proof anywhere that the Russians hacked the 2016 presidential election, but lots of proof that a sulky Obama resorts to internationally reported temper tantrums when he doesn’t get his way. Reality underlines that at midnight tomorrow, millions will welcome in the year that will see Donald J. Trump sworn in as America’s 45th president, a reality no temper tantrum can ever change.
