You may be right. The fact is that I don't recall Obama being hit hard for this statement. I heard some right wingers freak out about it, but my recollection is that the mainstream media said essentially what you are saying about it from the very first.lol, this is about how you interpret the statement by Obama. In that case you do, in fact, interpret it in the worst possible light.
Obama was absolutely hammered for that statement. It looked extremely bad. It was terrible for his campaign. No one thought it was a positive thing or a meh thing. It was a slimy statement that looked bad. So stop trying to act like we gave that one a pass but had it been Trump it would have been different. Trump has already said far worse and despite the never-Trumpers going ape-**** 100 times already over Trumps disgustingness , he's still the President. People going ape-**** over someone they don't like is not the barometer by which we measure how good or bad a thing is. In the end Obama's comment was cryptic. We can't say what it meant. It isn't proof of anything.
And maybe you have more info about the Russian investigation than I do, but it appears to me that most of the Trump haters do not need any actual evidence to convict him. All they seem to need is accusation. An accusation comes out and they soil themselves over the shock and awe.
