As former Defense Secretary Roberts Gates appeared as a guest on Sunday's Meet the Press, during a discussion of the recent hackings from Russia that were revealed in the months before the presidential election. NBC host Chuck Todd displayed the abilty for some on the left to blame Republicans for anything. The NBC host wondered if Republican critics of President Barack Obama had provoked the hackings by accusing Obama of being "too soft on Russia" in previous years.

Todd: "You know, for about four years, as you know and you actually defended President Obama from some of his critics when it came to he was too soft on Russia or he was too -- maybe soft is not the right word -- but he wasn't tough enough against Putin. Do you think all of this -- that Putin, over time, read this as weakness?"

I think it is more likely the Russians would assume Obama soft because for 8 years the media threw nothing but soft balls at him giving them the idea Imam Obama wasn't capable of withstanding the heat. :peeonobama:
