Of course it is. Obama did it. Bush did it and all the way back to when Adams followed Washington as our second President.

Everyone at that level is smart enough to start getting their ducks in a row.

The truly unprecedented political move was Pres. Obama putting sanctions on Russia during his final days as President.
A politically clever way to lay landmines for Trump's first month in office.

He started a major confrontation with the 2nd most powerful country on Earth and gave all the Democrat politicians a beautiful way to delay and hurt Trump's administration.

Clever and smart politically by Pres. Obama. TERRIBLE for the country.

I know that every anti-Trump person is just loving this. That's cool.

But when you really think about it...you know very well that Pres. Obama did it intentionally and knew how it would play out.
He would NEVER have put sanctions on Russia in the final days of his lame duck period if Hillary had won the election.

Instead he would have worked closely with her and her team to make sure that the U.S. relationship with Russia was as good as he could get it.

But I suppose that everyone who hates Trump with blind passion finds this to be at least one thing that can make them smile.

As we saw at the speech in front of Congress...the Democrat politicians sat on their hands and did NOT applaud when Trump said he wanted to work together to help American families get better jobs and rise up.

Put them in a horrible light. Who the hell DOESN'T want that? And yet...they did not applaud and instead made grimacing faces. Nancy Pelosi just looked bad doing that.

But at least President Obama gave them this parting gift.
So instead of working with Trump on the important issues that were promised to the American people: jobs, trade, immigration, security....the Democrats can keep everything in chaos over John Podesta's emails that revealed the truth about Hillary Clinton.

And his email password was "password". lol
Great security there!
