"Over 33% of Republican voters support of Vladimir Putin," Obama said refering to a late survey. "Ronald Reagan would move over in his grave. How did that happen?"
Obama encouraged the president-elect - who has more than once scrutinized Russia's inclusion - to acknowledge a free neutral examination.
"My trust is that the president-elect is going to also be worried with ensuring that we don't have potential remote impact in our race procedure."

On the other hand bolt up nonconformists. Alternately victimize individuals as a result of their confidence or what they seem as though," he said.
Republicans were disinterested by Obama's endeavors to dial back strains, with Senator Ben Sasse blaming Obama for a "negligible reprimanding of tyrants."
