Fri, 11:35: Is President Obama on black people time? 🤔
Fri, 11:44: President Obama listing how far we've come with Obamacare, poverty rate... lots!
Fri, 11:45: This is the most wonderful press conference of the year & I know who's naughty & nice to ask questions... President Obama (more or less)
Fri, 11:47: Washington Post reports: FBI backs CIA view that Russia intervened to help Trump win election
Fri, 11:49: “I could not be prouder to be your president.” President Obama
Fri, 11:50: Putin is the focus of first question for President Obama
Fri, 11:51: President Obama continues to work with PEOTUS during the transition
Fri, 11:52: Cyber attacks should be a bipartisan issue, and the President-elect should be concerned about not making it a political football
Fri, 11:53: President Obama providing timeline of hacking starting with July
Fri, 11:54: Once we had clarity and certainty about Russia's cyber attack on the DNC we let the public know. We did not discuss consequences.
Fri, 11:55: The press interpreted it, but we did not. I wanted to make sure we were trying to play it straight and not influence the political process
Fri, 11:55: If we had done otherwise, it would've become one more political scrum and done the work of the attackers
Fri, 11:56: In Sept, when President Obama talked to Putin, he told him to "cut it out" - "there would be consequences". We handled it correctly
Fri, 11:58: We allowed the press and the public to weigh that information. But I find it a little curious that this disadvantaged Hillary Clinton
Fri, 11:58: when the Press reported the WikiLeaks information every day! What is it about our political system that makes us vulnerable?
Fri, 12:01: Pres Obama's point seems to be the Press focused on the DNC LEAKS but not what triggered the leaks: RUSSIAN HACKING. Now everybody's 😱
Fri, 12:02: Just as I told Russia to "stop it", I also had to have the same conversation with the Chinese about their hacking
Fri, 12:03: Cyber Arms Race where USA has offensive and defensive capabilities to put guardrails around bad actors. We're more wired than other nations
Fri, 12:04: President Obama's last point on this question in respect to response: my principle goal was the election would go off w/o a hitch
Fri, 12:05: That does not mean that we are not going to respond. That just means we had specific objectives prior to the election.
Fri, 12:05: Future actions to take will be known, some not known.
Fri, 12:07: We already have enormous sanctions against Russia. Our relationship with Russia has deteriorated the last 10 years
Fri, 12:07: I'm sure a lot of books by pundits will be written about this fascinating election
Fri, 12:08: Hillary Clinton's coverage by the media has been ABYSMAL (not quite quoting President Obama)
Fri, 12:10: President Obama's giving the 411 about what motivated him to get involved in politics and how Dems move forward
Fri, 12:11: Building a more sustainable (eg, midterms) political action is something Obama wishes he could've done more to create
Fri, 12:16: Press probably focus on black/white yes/no instead of strong statements by Obama concerning ongoing response to Russian hacking
Fri, 12:17: President Obama “Our goal continues to be to send a clear message to Russia & others not to do this to us, because we can do stuff to you /1
Fri, 12:18: President Obama: “some of it we can do publicly, some of it we will do in a way that they know it, but not everybody will” /2
Fri, 12:21: Distinction between the "already always" of the Press vs the responsibilities of a President. Obama's "got this", but the Press not so much
Fri, 12:22: somebody's sick in the press corp. Obama offers his doctor
