Obama missed chance to postpone election

All hail Donald Trump.

Everyone learn to speak Russian and put the red flag over Old Glory.

Of course, election officials would say Russian influence was inconsequential.

If President Barack Obama could have done what anyone else would have done, he could have declared an emergency, postponed the election and held it next year — and in the process, declared the Electoral College unconstitutional by executive order.

Every presidential candidate would breathe a sigh of gratitude. The hacking was revealed before the election.

Obama should have acted, and he didn’t. This is his legacy.
