Good! Can we not have a near perfect crop of complete losers next time? No one wants Zuck anymore than Hillary. Seems like a good way to lock in 4 more years of regret.

The source you quoted shows nothing about 'Obama actively campaigning for politicians in other countries'. In fact it exonerates him of your charges.
The most recent US interference in a foreign election (quoted in your source) was in 2000, when Dubya was President. You could arguable attribute that to Bill Clinton, since the groundwork would have to have been laid earlier than 2000.
> In 2000, the U.S. spent millions of dollars in aid for political parties, campaign costs and independent media. Funding and broadcast equipment provided to the media arms of the opposition were a decisive factor in electing opposition candidate Vojislav Kostunica as Yugoslav president, according to Levin. “If it wouldn’t have been for overt intervention … Milosevic would have been very likely to have won another term,” he said.
Obama would come to power a full 2 terms later.

The US has a history of campaigning (put politely) or interfering (more accurately) in foreign elections[1]. It's not really a partisan issue.
I suspect having other countries interfere in the US election, the bastion of democracy in the western world, has happened before. Just never so visibly.

Not that I am one to defend George W. Bush, but he was not President until January 2001. Whatever else he is guilty of (spoiler: a lot), he is entirely innocent of this, as it happened during the Clinton presidency.

/me raises hand that I'd rather have Mark than Hillary. It's not so much that I agree with everything he says or stands for and I most certainly appreciate but don't idolize him. I'd rather have nearly any tech-savvy outsider than at least half the major party primary candidates last year.

Being tech savvy is a poor qualification for leading the free world. He should get his own kingdom in order first.
