Paul Ryan Issues Statement on Russia Sanctions; Takes a Deserved Swipe at President Obama
Four years is a long time in politics. Still, it’s fun to sit back and chuckle, watching President Barack Obama scramble in his last few days of office attempt to behave as though he’s getting tough on Russia. His sanctions are more a political ploy, designed to paint Donald Trump into a box than any real attempt to punish Russia for what they did. Obama has known about Russian hacking for months. He only decided to do something when Hillary Clinton lost. If she had won, he’d be too busy basking in the glow of his awesomeness, taking chunks of credit for her winning.
President Obama finally decided to act, and House Speaker Paul Ryan weighed in with a statement:
“Russia does not share American’s interests,” Ryan said in a statement. “In fact, it has consistently sought to undermine them, sowing dangerous instability around the world. While today’s action by the administration is overdue, it is an appropriate way to end eight years of failed policy with Russia. And it serves as a prime example of this administration’s ineffective foreign policy that has left America weaker in the eyes of the world.”
He’s right. While President Obama and other Democrats were making Cold War jokes at Mitt Romney, guffawing and yelling, “BURN!” anywhere they could on social media, Vladimir Putin was quietly laughing, knowing he was playing President Obama for a fool.
On a podcast I did with Tom Nichols of The Federalist, I asked him if people underestimated Putin’s intelligence. He said it’s not so much that Putin is all that smart, but that he’s cunning. For reference, he compared him to the fictional character of Tony Soprano, who he said wasn’t a very smart guy, but was certainly cunning. He knew how to keep his people in line and could get what he wanted when he wanted it.
Democrats are attempting to shift the issue by falsely claiming, along with the media, that a “hacked election” took place. No evidence exists this is true. It’s nonsense. It’s a distraction, designed to draw attention away from the fact that President Obama dithered for years and now he’s trying to cover his rear end as he walks out the door.

We hatch the Russians they hack us ! But the egg in the face was when they turned on the democrat party exposing their evils they wanted to keep quite . Like Obama and Hillary created Isis and was using US money to fund them . But our own people got tired of the crap and turned it loose on them . Murders , thieves , sex trafficking , child sex pizza gate , false flag shootings , the theft of 6.2 trillions dollars stolen from the Pentagon . Bush got only 1.2 trillion with his 911 set up . The Muslim nut has gotten more than anyone . First money stolen from tax payers accounts , then bailouts to add more to the pockets of the thieves , then the tax payers having to pay back the bailouts and still no money for their money thefts stolen by the banks . Here is we’re the Pentagon needs to file charges on the Muslim nut . Not saying they would get the money back , but could expose the 1 trillion dollar Iran give away program and tge funding if Isis . Now Iran can buy a nuke , they no longer need to make one .
Wrong. They turned on nobody, they simply fronted out our ENTIRE political system for its’ greed, corruptness, and hypocrisy.
ENTIRE, including and especially the neocon bullshit. And our pretend republican dominated worthless congress.
Muslim nut? Who is that? Are you a bit confused? Just because reagan and the bushes were in bed with the Saudis and Iraq and funded and propped up Bin Ladin hardly makes them Muslims. Muslim sympathizers, perhaps.
Cunning is an attribute of intelligence.
Only a rhetoric reciting fool would question Mr Putins intelligence.
He is obviously at least a little more intelligent than obama.
And he is a intellectual behemoth when compared to the idiots in the bush family and senile reagan.
One thing for sure, Mr Putin is intelligent enough to not let his country be silently overrun by his countries enemies, and he sure as hell isn’t letting freaks use the wrong bathroom or letting pervs destroy the sanctity of marriage by making it a flaming buttfucks wet dream.
Our congress, supreme court, and white house contain nobody intelligent enough to see the folly of those evil things.
I vote we grant Putin automatic citizenship as soon as his term is up in Russia and make him President HERE.
