> But like Obama actively campaigning for politicians in other countries 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 ha…

Oh please. Social media was exploited and abused like never before during this election cycle.
