Obama: I handled the Russian hacks properly. It’s the media that didn’t.

It's so strange to me that Obama is chastising the media for reporting on the leaks of all things. No matter the source those DNC leaks revealed some really undemocratic and frankly underhanded things. Would hacks from the republicans reveal similar stuff? Absolutely no doubt, but why not come down on the media for their fluff pieces about stuff that ISN'T serious or real? He invokes Podesta's rissoto recipe as if that invalidates emails showing collusion with news agencies to craft a narrative. I think that people forget that Obama is complicit in all of this. Even now I feel like I can't trust the story being pushed and the democratic party, Hillary Clinton, AND Obama are all responsible in part for that.

Worse yet their response so far hasn't been to shoulder their share of responsibility, it has been to pass the buck and invoke "fake news" as if they did not have a hand in creating this problem. The Dems are supposed to be on the side of the people, that is what they themselves claim, and because of that I expected better of them.
