Bullshit.
He can publicly demand that Trump release his tax returns, call out Putin directly ('cut it out', are you kidding?), He can say that the election results were altered by outside influence *directly*.
He didn't.

Crushing the media. And he's right.
But.. you still punked out, Obama. If Trump was calling into question the legitimacy of the election, why weren't you pointing out how he was in fact correct. It's just that a foreign actor wanted Trump to win.

Goddamn this is some weak shit. You're leaving on this note? I love Obama but his legacy will be trying to hard for bipartisan action when the other side didn't care a second.
At least he's calling out journalists now for making the leaks such a big story.

Everyone will forget what his 8 years were like. They'll only remember these last few, hapless moments. Totally gonna get Jimmy Carter'd.
Why do people keep bringing this up like he had any hand in being chosen to receive it

Republican strategy worked well if people in here are really going to start blaming Obama and talking shit about his legacy. The man has no real power and he cannot do much without the Republicans impeding him. God forbid he decides to go out with some class and doesn't stoop down to their level by kicking and screaming his way out the door.

....so he can't do anything? Because that's what all that is. Nothing.
If you believe this, don't fucking enable it.

And that would do what exactly? Say mean things to the GOP?
Oh no, I'm sure they're crying themselves to sleep being the most successful political party in the country (in our entire history) because big mean Obama said they were bad.
lol no
There are people who ADORE Obama. Worship the ground he walks on. They hang on every word he says as if it is the honest to god truth, no matter what. He can do no wrong.
Nobody will even remember a random fluff speech he gave in the middle of December when he has a long 8 years of very real policy to fall back on.

It would give other nations the power to perpetually stall elections then, keeping one party in power.

Trump doesn't own a computer.
The WH put all this out there in October and the press completely glossed over it, instead preferring to cover trumps nonsense 24/7.

Never really agreed with Obama's foreign policy plan of "stop it."

A foreign government hacked and intervened into our election process to sway it one way over another.

Takes away any political capital Trump and the Republicans have.
As of now, Obama is giving the green light to everything Trump wants to do.
This press conference is a damn endorsement for Trump at this point.
Well that and most of his agenda will have been repealed or negated by the incoming corporate-serving cabinet.

"cut it out"
"juicy tidbits"
"stop it"
"we can do stuff to you"
People will remember this speech for its legendary quotes.

And what would this have accomplished, aside from making everything worse for the current and future government, and the people of america?
More like: Obama, Foreign Policy 2008-2016.
Being a leader and exerting pressure on a candidate that was elected through outside influence is nothing?
So I guess outside of nuking Russia, Obama can't do anything? I don't understand your point.
See above. This party is constantly seen as being weak and passive, and it hurts them come election time. Change the goddamn narrative for a change.

Using Russia's level of intereference as precedent for a re-do would just invite more foreign meddling and throw the entire system into chaos. If you can find proof of actual vote count manipulation, then people will talk about what to do.
They have all the political capital in the world no matter what Obama does. They own the entire government and the supreme court!

Could you imagine Trump giving that long and substantive answer on anything.
