HE DIDN’T CARE ABOUT HACKING OF U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY SECRETS, BUT IF THERE’S A CHANCE IT MIGHT HAVE COST THE DEMOCRATS POWER, WELL, THAT’S DIFFERENT: Obama says ‘we will’ retaliate against Russia for election hacking. His language — “at a time and place of our own choosing” — echoes George W. Bush, which just underscores that Democrats view something that costs them political power the way Republicans view a terrorist attack that kills Americans. But we’ve seen that ever since the 2002 elections.

UPDATE: By the way, what does it say that the DNC ignored warnings from the FBI that they were being hacked because they didn’t believe the calls were real?

ANOTHER UPDATE: Ouch.

This is the right response. The Dems are trying to distract from what was revealed with ginned-up outrage about how the information was obtained. Meanwhile, if Trump had lost the election because damning RNC secrets showed up on Wikileaks, Obama would be making patronizing remarks about how they needed to learn to play in the big leagues, and Jon Stewart would be mocking Trump’s password skills.

The only outrage that’s not ginned up is their outrage at losing, which stems from a sense of entitlement.
