Not considering that for any Foreigner to fund your campaign would be conflict of interests. In my country, it's definitely illegal to get ANY foreign funding if you are running for political office. But from what I read, I heard Hillary had some foreign funding for her campaign too, so I am not too sure what is the real foreign funding policy for the US. quote: US law prohibits a political campaign from "knowingly" soliciting or accepting donations from foreign nationals. On Wednesday two US public interest groups announced they were filing a formal complaint with the Federal Elections Commission - which oversees US election law. Ahhh, the law says "knowingly". Interesting. Not a blanket, NO foreign Funding allowed. That's making it dodgy. Either way, this has no relevance to Obama using his power of influence as the Ex President of United States to Sway the France Voters.

I see zero evidence that Putin Appeal to France people to vote for LePen. All Putin said was, he likes LePen. Infact, Putin said he has no intention to interfere with France Elections according to your link. So no proof there. During Friday’s meeting with National Front leader Le Pen, Putin insisted that Russia has no intention of meddling in the French election and only wants to have a dialogue with a variety of politicians. You are naive beyond comprehension. Every TV spot and every billboard ad for the FN should have the remark: 'This was brought to you and paid for by Vladimir Vladimirovich." His actions are loud enough. And open to the public.

And another huge difference is one is a sitting president and the other is a former president with no power. Obama is a civilian now, and his influence is as strong as any other celebrity at this point.

If Henry Kissinger offer support for any foreign politician and endorse their candidates. I'd still find fault with it. Ex-Political Leaders should not get involve in other country's politics. An opinion is "I like Macron!" If Obama got interviewed and asked about what he thinks about France Election and he says that he likes Macron and prefer his policies. That is an opinion and that is fine. An attempt to influence is, "Please Vote for Macron, France." And seriously do a whole endorsement Press conference on it! This is different from Leonardo Di Caprio doing this. As nobody respect what Leo has to say about politics. But Obama has weight. Obama Status is beyond a celebrity, as he has run one of the powerful country in this world before! His Endorsement has power.

Outrageous – it’s not as if the lying orange fuk been on the record & telly trying to interfere, with his lying fukery, with BREXIT-leave Europe, and he has said absolutely nothing about the French election I am absolutely positive of that. Whatever next – next you will accuse him of greeting away like the wee bitch that it is to the Russians about trying to find Hillary 20 000 emails and that would be a preposterous. And and(your right there is fuking more too much to type) next you will be telling he tried to take out an advert with CNN where he accused there reporters and other mainstream media of being fake news –I am only hypothesing this as the adv campaign only had the words fake blootered over those reporters and he surely meant something else for that would be an insane thing for any sitting premier to do let alone say it to their faces and on camera 100s of times. Next you will be telling me the mad orange fuk is a pathological liar and has lied on camera 1000s of times to his own people and the world all that happened Anyhoos the election is over deal with it - not that most of you can find France on a map - like president shambolic

I think the whole thread is a storm in a teacup. If Merkel were to have said... "Americans should vote for Clinton"... how many minds do you think she would change. Butch

It is YET to see how he will make Mexico pay, you just wait and see what trade tariffs he is gonna implement on Mexico. As for locking up Clinton, yes he OPENLY went against his words to lock her up, but that is one good promise not to keep. In the case of Le Pen. He has NOT anything to Endorse her or support her campaign. He did stay out of it. All he did was simply said, he favoured Le Pen. That's really different. That's truly just an opinion.
