And it is cruel.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former president rarely criticizes his successor in public. But Obama has weighed in occasionally when Trump acted to reverse one of his signature initiatives, such as the Affordable Care Act or the Paris climate agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's decision to phase out protection for DREAMers, beginning in six months, drew a similar response. Obama rejected the administration's claim that its action was driven by a legal challenge from conservative states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Let's be clear,\" Obama said. \"The action taken today isn't required legally. It's a political decision, and a moral question.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama himself acknowledged back in 2012 that granting DREAMers a temporary reprieve from deportation was an imperfect substitute for legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not amnesty,\" he said at the time. \"This is not immunity. This is not a path to citizenship. It's not a permanent fix.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama had turned to executive action reluctantly after legislation known as the DREAM Act was stymied by a Republican filibuster in the Senate in late 2010. One of the bill's most outspoken opponents was then-Sen. Jeff Sessions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"American people did not vote for an amnesty in this past election,\" said the Alabama Republican, now Trump's attorney general, who made the policy announcement Tuesday. \"It will be resisted with every strength and every ability that I have to do so. Because this is a lame-duck Congress, it will not pass next year, and it's not going to pass this year if I have anything to do about it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the DREAM Act stalled, Obama eventually decided to move on his own, granting the DREAMers a temporary reprieve from deportation.

This is not a path to citizenship.

First lady Melania Trump tweeted nearly an hour before the president or vice president on Saturday. \"...[L]et's communicate w/o hate in our hearts. No good comes from violence. #Charlottesville,\" \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/FLOTUS/status/896409989568507906\">she tweeted\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the president's initial response quickly appeared outdated when a Dodge Charger \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/08/12/542982015/home-to-university-of-virginia-prepares-for-violence-at-white-nationalist-rally\">plowed into pedestrians, killing one woman, and injuring at least nine others\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just over an hour later, during televised remarks about a bill signing that had already been on his daily schedule, Trump addressed the intensifying situation in Charlottesville, which had been steadily covered on cable news outlets throughout the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he did not specifically address the vehicular attack. And he did not condemn the white nationalist and white supremacist groups that had arrived to protest the city's decision to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee, a hero of the Confederacy — and the president did not call out any of those groups by name. Instead, the president alluded to shared blame between protesters and counter-protesters for failing to maintain peace in Charlottesville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We condemn in the strongest most possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. On many sides,\" Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the afternoon progressed, some members of his own party began to call out the president for his generic remarks and to criticize him for not calling the vehicular attack a terrorist attack — like those that have occurred in recent years in European cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mr. President - we must call evil by its name,\" \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenCoryGardner/status/896472477844385792\">Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., tweeted\u003c/a>, \"These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism.\" Gardner's sentiments were echoed in tweets by \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ChuckGrassley/status/896479276790292480\">Sen. Chuck Grassley\u003c/a>, R-Iowa; \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/marcorubio/status/896483980857532416\">Sen.

Ted Cruz, R-Texas, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenTedCruz/status/896543609440407553\">specifically called on Trump's Justice Department\u003c/a> \"to immediately investigate and prosecute this grotesque act of domestic terrorism.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later on Saturday night, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a statement on the opening of a federal investigation into today's incident in Charlottesville, Va. The statement said in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cem>\"The Richmond FBI Field Office, the Civil Rights Division, and the US Attorney's Office for the Western District of Virginia have opened a civil rights investigation into the circumstances of the deadly vehicular incident that occurred earlier Saturday morning. The FBI will collect all available facts and evidence, and as this is an ongoing investigation we are not able to comment further at this time.\" \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Prominent Democrats also used Twitter to comment on the racially charged events and their deadly outcomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Invoking the torch-lit march of mostly young, white men through Charlottesville Friday night, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/HouseDemocrats/status/896495889480548352\">House Democrats tweeted\u003c/a> a photo of the Statue of Liberty with the message \"The torch of liberty outshines darkness and hate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Onetime Trump rival Hillary Clinton unleashed a tweetstorm Saturday almost immediately after Trump's televised remarks ended. \"Now is the time for leaders to be strong in their words & deliberate in their actions,\" \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton/status/896463816338399232\">Clinton said\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton/status/896463940854718464\">adding\u003c/a> \"We will not step backward. If this is not who we are as Americans, let's prove it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riffing on Trump's controversial \"many sides\" comment, former Vice President Joe Biden had a simple message: \"There is only one side. #charlottesville\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, former President Barack Obama weighed in Saturday evening, as the events of the day appeared to have calmed down both in Charlottesville and online. \"'No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion,'\" \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/896523232098078720\">Obama tweeted\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/896523304873238528\">adding\u003c/a> \"'People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love ...'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama attributed the quote, which he'd posted for his more than 90 million followers, to Nelson Mandela.

First lady Melania Trump tweeted nearly an hour before the president or vice president on Saturday. \"...[L]et's communicate w/o hate in our hearts. No good comes from violence. #Charlottesville,\" \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/FLOTUS/status/896409989568507906\">she tweeted\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the president's initial response quickly appeared outdated when a Dodge Charger \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/08/12/542982015/home-to-university-of-virginia-prepares-for-violence-at-white-nationalist-rally\">plowed into pedestrians, killing one woman, and injuring at least nine others\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just over an hour later, during televised remarks about a bill signing that had already been on his daily schedule, Trump addressed the intensifying situation in Charlottesville, which had been steadily covered on cable news outlets throughout the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he did not specifically address the vehicular attack. And he did not condemn the white nationalist and white supremacist groups that had arrived to protest the city's decision to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee, a hero of the Confederacy — and the president did not call out any of those groups by name. Instead, the president alluded to shared blame between protesters and counter-protesters for failing to maintain peace in Charlottesville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We condemn in the strongest most possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. On many sides,\" Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the afternoon progressed, some members of his own party began to call out the president for his generic remarks and to criticize him for not calling the vehicular attack a terrorist attack — like those that have occurred in recent years in European cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mr. President - we must call evil by its name,\" \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenCoryGardner/status/896472477844385792\">Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., tweeted\u003c/a>, \"These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism.\" Gardner's sentiments were echoed in tweets by \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ChuckGrassley/status/896479276790292480\">Sen. Chuck Grassley\u003c/a>, R-Iowa; \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/marcorubio/status/896483980857532416\">Sen. Marco Rubio\u003c/a>, R-Fla.; \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/senorrinhatch/status/896486793083842560\">Sen.

Ted Cruz, R-Texas, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenTedCruz/status/896543609440407553\">specifically called on Trump's Justice Department\u003c/a> \"to immediately investigate and prosecute this grotesque act of domestic terrorism.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later on Saturday night, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a statement on the opening of a federal investigation into today's incident in Charlottesville, Va. The statement said in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cem>\"The Richmond FBI Field Office, the Civil Rights Division, and the US Attorney's Office for the Western District of Virginia have opened a civil rights investigation into the circumstances of the deadly vehicular incident that occurred earlier Saturday morning. The FBI will collect all available facts and evidence, and as this is an ongoing investigation we are not able to comment further at this time.\" \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Prominent Democrats also used Twitter to comment on the racially charged events and their deadly outcomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Invoking the torch-lit march of mostly young, white men through Charlottesville Friday night, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/HouseDemocrats/status/896495889480548352\">House Democrats tweeted\u003c/a> a photo of the Statue of Liberty with the message \"The torch of liberty outshines darkness and hate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Onetime Trump rival Hillary Clinton unleashed a tweetstorm Saturday almost immediately after Trump's televised remarks ended. \"Now is the time for leaders to be strong in their words & deliberate in their actions,\" \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton/status/896463816338399232\">Clinton said\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton/status/896463940854718464\">adding\u003c/a> \"We will not step backward. If this is not who we are as Americans, let's prove it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riffing on Trump's controversial \"many sides\" comment, former Vice President Joe Biden had a simple message: \"There is only one side. #charlottesville\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, former President Barack Obama weighed in Saturday evening, as the events of the day appeared to have calmed down both in Charlottesville and online. \"'No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion,'\" \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/896523232098078720\">Obama tweeted\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/896523304873238528\">adding\u003c/a> \"'People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love ...'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama attributed the quote, which he'd posted for his more than 90 million followers, to Nelson Mandela. It is \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/International/nelson-mandelas-inspirational-quotes/story?id=8879848\">reportedly from\u003c/a> the South African leader's 1994 autobiography \u003cem>Long Walk to Freedom\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Before becoming EPA administrator, Pruitt joined dozens of other state attorneys general who sued the agency to halt the Clean Power Plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some of the policies that Trump is targeting will be easy to overturn, the Clean Power Plan could prove more complicated. Environmental law experts say it could take the administration years to fully undo it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s more on that policy and some of the others that Trump is expected to address later today:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The Clean Power Plan\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Clean Power Plan is a set of national standards that are designed to slow human-caused climate change by limiting carbon pollution from power plants. The power sector accounts for \u003ca href=\"http://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.cfm?id=77&t=11\">almost 40 percent\u003c/a> of the country’s carbon dioxide emissions. The Clean Power Plan would cut those emissions and carbon pollution 32 percent below 2005 levels by the year 2030.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he introduced it \u003ca href=\"https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2015/08/03/remarks-president-announcing-clean-power-plan\">in 2015\u003c/a>, Obama called the Clean Power Plan “the single most important step America has ever taken in the fight against climate change.” It’s the centerpiece of the U.S. commitment to the Paris climate agreement. Donald Trump and Republicans though, have called the plan a “job-killer” and have pledged to kill it instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The senior White House official said today’s executive orders do not address the Paris climate deal. “Whether we stay in or out is still under discussion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s executive orders kick off a rule-making process with the goal of ending the Clean Power Plan. But they won’t end the policy outright, nor do they say how his administration will get rid of it, and the devil may be in the details. Any effort to repeal the rule could prove lengthy, difficult and fraught with litigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once you have something like the Clean Power Plan — a final rule-making — then that can’t be withdrawn using any process other than the one that was used to create it,” says Nathan Richardson, a visiting fellow at \u003ca href=\"http://www.rff.org/\">Resources for the Future\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means notices, public comment and a rule-making procedure that could take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has time. Currently, the Clean Power Plan is held up in federal court after lawsuits from industry groups and states challenged its legality. A ruling could be months away and any decision — for or against the plan — will likely be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress could also step in and amend the Clean Air Act to say the EPA shouldn’t regulate greenhouse gases, nullifying the Clean Power Plan, but that could prove politically challenging.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Moratorium on Federal Coal Leases\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Obama administration placed a moratorium on new coal leases on federal lands \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/01/15/463164790/u-s-moratorium-on-new-coal-leases-to-be-announced-friday\">in January 2016\u003c/a>, citing concerns over pricing and pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the estimated three-year hold on leasing, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/secretary-jewell-launches-comprehensive-review-federal-coal-program\">Department of the Interior said\u003c/a> it was going to review the country’s coal-leasing program to make sure it was providing “a fair return to taxpayers and reflect its impacts on the environment, while continuing to help meet our energy needs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal lands account for roughly \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/01/15/463164790/u-s-moratorium-on-new-coal-leases-to-be-announced-friday\">40 percent of all\u003c/a> U.S. coal production. Hundreds of millions of tons of coal are mined on federal lands every year, generating nearly $1.3 billion for the government in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental groups say that money doesn’t offset the societal costs of pollution from coal mining and consumption. Burning coal is a leading cause of carbon dioxide emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s order to lift the moratorium should take immediate effect, allowing the Bureau of Land Management to issue new coal leases on federal lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not at all clear there will be any immediate rush for new leases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Coal production fell in 2016,” says Robert Godby, director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.uwyo.edu/cee/\">Center for Energy Economics and Public Policy\u003c/a> at the University of Wyoming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, it’s fallen for several years as utilities have switched to cheaper natural gas. That means existing coal reserves have grown bigger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The coal market is so weak,” Godby says, “and some companies are coming out of bankruptcy.” He says they simply don’t have the cash to make the enormous investment required to lease federal land for future coal production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Godby says the decline in coal leasing — and the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars a year in royalties — has been painful for Wyoming. The state had been using the money to build new schools, but is now facing a large budget deficit.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The Social Cost of Carbon\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The “social cost of carbon” is another Obama-era policy that directed government agencies to factor in the effects of climate change on their rule-making. It essentially put a \u003ca href=\"http://blog.ucsusa.org/rachel-cleetus/the-social-cost-of-carbon-underscores-an-obvious-fact-climate-change-is-costly\">price tag on carbon emissions\u003c/a> and told agencies to factor that price tag in when making a regulation. The current cost is \u003ca href=\"https://www.epa.gov/climatechange/social-cost-carbon\">$36 per metric ton\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump is expected to try to neuter the policy by directing the EPA to lower that cost to the point where it won’t have much weight in policy-making. An all-out elimination of the cost would likely have left the administration with weaker \u003ca href=\"http://media.ca7.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/rssExec.pl?Submit=Display&Path=Y2016/D08-08/C:14-2159:J:Ripple:aut:T:fnOp:N:1807496:S:0\">legal standing\u003c/a> should it be challenged in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration is aiming to cut federal climate change efforts across government.

The Clean Power Plan would cut those emissions and carbon pollution 32 percent below 2005 levels by the year 2030.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he introduced it \u003ca href=\"https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2015/08/03/remarks-president-announcing-clean-power-plan\">in 2015\u003c/a>, Obama called the Clean Power Plan “the single most important step America has ever taken in the fight against climate change.” It’s the centerpiece of the U.S. commitment to the Paris climate agreement. Donald Trump and Republicans though, have called the plan a “job-killer” and have pledged to kill it instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The senior White House official said today’s executive orders do not address the Paris climate deal. “Whether we stay in or out is still under discussion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s executive orders kick off a rule-making process with the goal of ending the Clean Power Plan. But they won’t end the policy outright, nor do they say how his administration will get rid of it, and the devil may be in the details. Any effort to repeal the rule could prove lengthy, difficult and fraught with litigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once you have something like the Clean Power Plan — a final rule-making — then that can’t be withdrawn using any process other than the one that was used to create it,” says Nathan Richardson, a visiting fellow at \u003ca href=\"http://www.rff.org/\">Resources for the Future\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means notices, public comment and a rule-making procedure that could take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has time. Currently, the Clean Power Plan is held up in federal court after lawsuits from industry groups and states challenged its legality. A ruling could be months away and any decision — for or against the plan — will likely be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress could also step in and amend the Clean Air Act to say the EPA shouldn’t regulate greenhouse gases, nullifying the Clean Power Plan, but that could prove politically challenging.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Moratorium on Federal Coal Leases\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Obama administration placed a moratorium on new coal leases on federal lands \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/01/15/463164790/u-s-moratorium-on-new-coal-leases-to-be-announced-friday\">in January 2016\u003c/a>, citing concerns over pricing and pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the estimated three-year hold on leasing, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/secretary-jewell-launches-comprehensive-review-federal-coal-program\">Department of the Interior said\u003c/a> it was going to review the country’s coal-leasing program to make sure it was providing “a fair return to taxpayers and reflect its impacts on the environment, while continuing to help meet our energy needs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal lands account for roughly \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/01/15/463164790/u-s-moratorium-on-new-coal-leases-to-be-announced-friday\">40 percent of all\u003c/a> U.S. coal production. Hundreds of millions of tons of coal are mined on federal lands every year, generating nearly $1.3 billion for the government in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental groups say that money doesn’t offset the societal costs of pollution from coal mining and consumption. Burning coal is a leading cause of carbon dioxide emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s order to lift the moratorium should take immediate effect, allowing the Bureau of Land Management to issue new coal leases on federal lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not at all clear there will be any immediate rush for new leases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Coal production fell in 2016,” says Robert Godby, director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.uwyo.edu/cee/\">Center for Energy Economics and Public Policy\u003c/a> at the University of Wyoming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, it’s fallen for several years as utilities have switched to cheaper natural gas. That means existing coal reserves have grown bigger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The coal market is so weak,” Godby says, “and some companies are coming out of bankruptcy.” He says they simply don’t have the cash to make the enormous investment required to lease federal land for future coal production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Godby says the decline in coal leasing — and the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars a year in royalties — has been painful for Wyoming. The state had been using the money to build new schools, but is now facing a large budget deficit.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The Social Cost of Carbon\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The “social cost of carbon” is another Obama-era policy that directed government agencies to factor in the effects of climate change on their rule-making. It essentially put a \u003ca href=\"http://blog.ucsusa.org/rachel-cleetus/the-social-cost-of-carbon-underscores-an-obvious-fact-climate-change-is-costly\">price tag on carbon emissions\u003c/a> and told agencies to factor that price tag in when making a regulation. The current cost is \u003ca href=\"https://www.epa.gov/climatechange/social-cost-carbon\">$36 per metric ton\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump is expected to try to neuter the policy by directing the EPA to lower that cost to the point where it won’t have much weight in policy-making. An all-out elimination of the cost would likely have left the administration with weaker \u003ca href=\"http://media.ca7.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/rssExec.pl?Submit=Display&Path=Y2016/D08-08/C:14-2159:J:Ripple:aut:T:fnOp:N:1807496:S:0\">legal standing\u003c/a> should it be challenged in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration is aiming to cut federal climate change efforts across government.

Given the general anti-environmental tenor in Congress, and the Trump administration’s uncertain and unexpressed view on conservation issues, some groups saw the announcement as important not so much because it afforded the California sites protection from encroaching development, but because those areas would be spared from a questionable future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Generally, monument designations or other categories of protection aim to shield special places from more imminent threats such as energy exploration, logging or other commercial development. In the case of the California additions, there were few such threats. The fear here was of the unknown — that the desirable coastal land could have eventually been yanked away from federal managers and placed in the hands of those willing to sacrifice its environmental and cultural value.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The great thing is that this ensures that these areas remain part of the public lands system,” said Dan Smuts, senior director of the Pacific region for the Wilderness Society. “It precludes the government disposing of these lands.

On the first day back in session earlier this month, the House \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2017/01/03/house-gop-rules-change-would-make-it-easier-to-sell-off-federal-land/?utm_term=.487b86a8799d\">made it easier to transfer federal land\u003c/a> to states or local entities by overturning a rule requiring a calculation of the value of federal land before such a transfer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A host of legislators in the intermountain West, led by Utah Gov. Gary Herbert, have long been clamoring for U.S. land management agencies to cede control of federal land to states, which bridle at being managed from Washington. The federal government is the West’s biggest landlord, and the idea of wresting control of vast tracts of deserts and forests is an enduring and uniquely Western motif.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘Our coast belongs to all Californians, and preserving its scenic beauty and biodiversity is crucial for California’s climate and economic future.’\u003ccite>Sarah Rose, California League of Conservation Voters\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>As a candidate, Trump spent scant time discussing public lands issues, which would understandably be unfamiliar to a lifelong New Yorker. Trump’s home state contains less than 1 percent federal land. By comparison, nearly 48 percent of the land in California is held by the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as Trump’s personal conservation views are something of a cipher, activists worry that partisanship in Washington could drown out support for even the most laudable projects. Land conservation has historically been somewhat sheltered from the partisan ideology that surrounds other environmental issues, but an anti-government groundswell has made compromise on federal land protections more difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is an ideological opposition to the federal government owning and managing even an acre of land,” Smuts said. “We are clear-eyed that it will be difficult to make conservation gains in this administration and this Congress. But in my time I have seen the pendulum swing from pro-conservation administrations and back. We have been successful in getting important areas protected under Democrats and Republicans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Groups lined up Thursday to praise Obama, and to cast a wary glance at the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11268006\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11268006\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"The Lost Coast Headlands in Humboldt County.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Lost Coast Headlands in Humboldt County. \u003ccite>(BLMCalifornia/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Our coast belongs to all Californians and preserving its scenic beauty and biodiversity is crucial for California’s climate and economic future,” said California League of Conservation Voters CEO Sarah Rose in a statement. “With the new presidential administration about to take office, it is crucial we act to make certain our magnificent landscapes and wildlife continue to belong to all of us now, and for generations to come.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama’s proclamation not only adds 6,200 acres to the existing monument, it significantly amplifies the protections afforded the new sites, which will be managed by the federal Bureau of Land Management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama made the addition by using the Antiquities Act, which allows the president to set aside tracts of federal land or significant places for protection, without the consent of Congress. That 1906 law — which gives the executive authority to bypass Congress — has in recent years enraged some Republicans, who see it as a cudgel and frequently characterize its use as “federal land grabs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike executive orders, which can be undone with the stroke of a presidential pen, monument designations cannot be rescinded by a successor. While some in Washington believe Congress has the right to claw back the decisions, there has not yet been a legal challenge to a presidential monument proclamation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”fMnrFkyHLBgA2iSNeGtY10xBBs2EO8tb”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could change under a Trump administration. Among the bills taking aim at the Antiquities Act is one proffered this month by Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican from Alaska. The proposal, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.energy.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republican-news?ID=4665A6D3-568B-4537-A504-F43C01BC6FBD\">Improved National Monument Designation Process Act\u003c/a>, would require future national monuments receive approval not only from Congress before designation, but also from the legislature in the state or states affected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the other monument designations made Thursday were three historically significant civil rights sites in Alabama and South Carolina, as well as an expansion of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in Oregon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conservation groups in California had long campaigned for adding the sites to the monument, which was first established in 2000 and expanded by Obama in 2014.

Gary Herbert, have long been clamoring for U.S. land management agencies to cede control of federal land to states, which bridle at being managed from Washington. The federal government is the West’s biggest landlord, and the idea of wresting control of vast tracts of deserts and forests is an enduring and uniquely Western motif.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘Our coast belongs to all Californians, and preserving its scenic beauty and biodiversity is crucial for California’s climate and economic future.’\u003ccite>Sarah Rose, California League of Conservation Voters\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>As a candidate, Trump spent scant time discussing public lands issues, which would understandably be unfamiliar to a lifelong New Yorker. Trump’s home state contains less than 1 percent federal land. By comparison, nearly 48 percent of the land in California is held by the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as Trump’s personal conservation views are something of a cipher, activists worry that partisanship in Washington could drown out support for even the most laudable projects. Land conservation has historically been somewhat sheltered from the partisan ideology that surrounds other environmental issues, but an anti-government groundswell has made compromise on federal land protections more difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is an ideological opposition to the federal government owning and managing even an acre of land,” Smuts said. “We are clear-eyed that it will be difficult to make conservation gains in this administration and this Congress. But in my time I have seen the pendulum swing from pro-conservation administrations and back. We have been successful in getting important areas protected under Democrats and Republicans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Groups lined up Thursday to praise Obama, and to cast a wary glance at the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11268006\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11268006\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"The Lost Coast Headlands in Humboldt County.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/LostCoastHeadlands-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Lost Coast Headlands in Humboldt County. \u003ccite>(BLMCalifornia/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Our coast belongs to all Californians and preserving its scenic beauty and biodiversity is crucial for California’s climate and economic future,” said California League of Conservation Voters CEO Sarah Rose in a statement. “With the new presidential administration about to take office, it is crucial we act to make certain our magnificent landscapes and wildlife continue to belong to all of us now, and for generations to come.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama’s proclamation not only adds 6,200 acres to the existing monument, it significantly amplifies the protections afforded the new sites, which will be managed by the federal Bureau of Land Management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama made the addition by using the Antiquities Act, which allows the president to set aside tracts of federal land or significant places for protection, without the consent of Congress. That 1906 law — which gives the executive authority to bypass Congress — has in recent years enraged some Republicans, who see it as a cudgel and frequently characterize its use as “federal land grabs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike executive orders, which can be undone with the stroke of a presidential pen, monument designations cannot be rescinded by a successor. While some in Washington believe Congress has the right to claw back the decisions, there has not yet been a legal challenge to a presidential monument proclamation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could change under a Trump administration. Among the bills taking aim at the Antiquities Act is one proffered this month by Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican from Alaska. The proposal, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.energy.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republican-news?ID=4665A6D3-568B-4537-A504-F43C01BC6FBD\">Improved National Monument Designation Process Act\u003c/a>, would require future national monuments receive approval not only from Congress before designation, but also from the legislature in the state or states affected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the other monument designations made Thursday were three historically significant civil rights sites in Alabama and South Carolina, as well as an expansion of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in Oregon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conservation groups in California had long campaigned for adding the sites to the monument, which was first established in 2000 and expanded by Obama in 2014. That cause was championed by Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, whose bill to expand the monument stalled before her retirement this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coastal monument is a unique preserve, encompassing rocks and small islands critical for marine species, and historic and cultural sites on beaches and headlands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sites added are:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Trinidad Head (Humboldt County) — a 60-acre headland reaching into Trinidad Harbor, with a historic lighthouse.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The Lost Coast Headlands (Humboldt County) — a former Navy installation on coastal bluffs that provide plant and wildlife habitat.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Waluplh-Lighthouse Ranch (Humboldt County) — site of a former 19\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> century lighthouse with views of the Eel River Delta, the Pacific and parts of Humboldt Bay.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Cotoni-Coast Dairies (Santa Cruz County) — a former dairy and industrial site that is now habitat for rare animals.

That's what you did. You were the change. You answered people's hopes, and because of you, by almost every measure, America is a better, stronger place than it was when we started.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The roughly one-hour farewell address was replete with the kind of soaring, hopeful rhetoric that propelled a first-term, 47-year-old senator to the Oval Office eight years ago and got him re-elected four years ago. He reflected on his roots as a community organizer and how the Windy City had shaped who he was as a man and as a public servant. And he grew emotional at points, especially when he thanked his wife, Michelle, daughters Sasha and Malia, and Vice President Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That faith I placed all those years ago, not far from here, in the power of ordinary Americans to bring about change — that faith has been rewarded in ways I couldn't possibly have imagined. I hope yours has, too,\" the president said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udrKnXueTW0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Obama also acknowledged the country's deep divisions that have been exposed by a tumultuous election and defended the very foundations of democracy in the U.S. and abroad, just a week before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For too many of us, it's become safer to retreat into our own bubbles, whether in our neighborhoods or college campuses or places of worship or our social media feeds, surrounded by people who look like us and share the same political outlook and never challenge our assumptions,\" the president said. \"The rise of naked partisanship, increasing economic and regional stratification, the splintering of our media into a channel for every taste — all this makes this great sorting seem natural, even inevitable. And increasingly, we become so secure in our bubbles that we accept only information, whether true or not, that fits our opinions, instead of basing our opinions on the evidence that's out there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added emphatically:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"This trend represents a third threat to our democracy. Politics is a battle of ideas; in the course of a healthy debate, we'll prioritize different goals, and the different means of reaching them. But without some common baseline of facts, without a willingness to admit new information, and concede that your opponent is making a fair point, and that science and reason matter, we'll keep talking past each other, making common ground and compromise impossible.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It was the most direct allusion the president would make toward his successor and his supporters, coming the same day that \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/10/509223836/trump-denies-allegations-of-secret-ties-collusion-between-campaign-and-russia\">stories broke\u003c/a> that top U.S. intelligence officials had documents alleging collusion between Russia and the president-elect. Trump has denied those allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"FqRur6hvpr1MgvVQRnDkRJju9pQq2SlG\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama mentioned the incoming commander in chief by name only once, saying, \"I committed to President-elect Trump that my administration would ensure the smoothest possible transition, just as President Bush did for me.\" Obama quieted the crowd's boos when he added, \"In 10 days, the world will witness a hallmark of our democracy: The peaceful transfer of power from one freely elected president to the next.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with Obama's later comments about the future of democracy, it was clear he had concerns about the president-elect's rhetoric on foreign adversaries, such as Russia, and throughout the campaign, especially against Muslim-Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Democracy can buckle when we give in to fear. So just as we, as citizens, must remain vigilant against external aggression, we must guard against a weakening of the values that make us who we are. That's why, for the past eight years, I've worked to put the fight against terrorism on a firm legal footing. That's why we've ended torture, worked to close Gitmo, and reform our laws governing surveillance to protect privacy and civil liberties. That's why I reject discrimination against Muslim-Americans,\" Obama said, drawing a sustained standing ovation from the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So let's be vigilant, but not afraid,\" the president continued. \"ISIL will try to kill innocent people. But they cannot defeat America unless we betray our Constitution and our principles in the fight. Rivals like Russia or China cannot match our influence around the world — unless we give up what we stand for, and turn ourselves into just another big country that bullies smaller neighbors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama reflected on his own historic place as the country's first African-American president, but he admitted that his election did not do away with racial tensions — and that it never was going to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After my election, there was talk of a post-racial America. Such a vision, however well intended, was never realistic,\" Obama said. \"For race remains a potent and often divisive force in our society. I've lived long enough to know that race relations are better than they were 10 or 20 or 30 years ago — you can see it not just in statistics, but in the attitudes of young Americans across the political spectrum.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, the theme of Obama's speech was one encouraging all Americans — regardless of race, religion or political beliefs — to come together and focus on what unites them, rather than divides them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Understand, democracy does not require uniformity. Our founders quarreled and compromised, and expected us to do the same,\" Obama said. \"But they knew that democracy does require a basic sense of solidarity — the idea that for all our outward differences, we are all in this together; that we rise or fall as one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Telling the country \"it has been the honor of my life to serve you,\" Obama said his service wasn't over and that he looked forward to contributing \"as a citizen, for all my days that remain.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For now, whether you're young or young at heart, I do have one final ask of you as your president — the same thing I asked when you took a chance on me eight years ago. I am asking you to believe. Not in my ability to bring about change — but in yours,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama ended with a familiar refrain, looking both back and ahead: \"Yes we can. Yes we did. Yes we can.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

And increasingly, we become so secure in our bubbles that we accept only information, whether true or not, that fits our opinions, instead of basing our opinions on the evidence that's out there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added emphatically:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"This trend represents a third threat to our democracy. Politics is a battle of ideas; in the course of a healthy debate, we'll prioritize different goals, and the different means of reaching them. But without some common baseline of facts, without a willingness to admit new information, and concede that your opponent is making a fair point, and that science and reason matter, we'll keep talking past each other, making common ground and compromise impossible.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It was the most direct allusion the president would make toward his successor and his supporters, coming the same day that \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/10/509223836/trump-denies-allegations-of-secret-ties-collusion-between-campaign-and-russia\">stories broke\u003c/a> that top U.S. intelligence officials had documents alleging collusion between Russia and the president-elect. Trump has denied those allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama mentioned the incoming commander in chief by name only once, saying, \"I committed to President-elect Trump that my administration would ensure the smoothest possible transition, just as President Bush did for me.\" Obama quieted the crowd's boos when he added, \"In 10 days, the world will witness a hallmark of our democracy: The peaceful transfer of power from one freely elected president to the next.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with Obama's later comments about the future of democracy, it was clear he had concerns about the president-elect's rhetoric on foreign adversaries, such as Russia, and throughout the campaign, especially against Muslim-Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Democracy can buckle when we give in to fear. So just as we, as citizens, must remain vigilant against external aggression, we must guard against a weakening of the values that make us who we are. That's why, for the past eight years, I've worked to put the fight against terrorism on a firm legal footing. That's why we've ended torture, worked to close Gitmo, and reform our laws governing surveillance to protect privacy and civil liberties. That's why I reject discrimination against Muslim-Americans,\" Obama said, drawing a sustained standing ovation from the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So let's be vigilant, but not afraid,\" the president continued. \"ISIL will try to kill innocent people. But they cannot defeat America unless we betray our Constitution and our principles in the fight. Rivals like Russia or China cannot match our influence around the world — unless we give up what we stand for, and turn ourselves into just another big country that bullies smaller neighbors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama reflected on his own historic place as the country's first African-American president, but he admitted that his election did not do away with racial tensions — and that it never was going to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After my election, there was talk of a post-racial America. Such a vision, however well intended, was never realistic,\" Obama said. \"For race remains a potent and often divisive force in our society. I've lived long enough to know that race relations are better than they were 10 or 20 or 30 years ago — you can see it not just in statistics, but in the attitudes of young Americans across the political spectrum.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, the theme of Obama's speech was one encouraging all Americans — regardless of race, religion or political beliefs — to come together and focus on what unites them, rather than divides them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Understand, democracy does not require uniformity. Our founders quarreled and compromised, and expected us to do the same,\" Obama said. \"But they knew that democracy does require a basic sense of solidarity — the idea that for all our outward differences, we are all in this together; that we rise or fall as one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Telling the country \"it has been the honor of my life to serve you,\" Obama said his service wasn't over and that he looked forward to contributing \"as a citizen, for all my days that remain.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For now, whether you're young or young at heart, I do have one final ask of you as your president — the same thing I asked when you took a chance on me eight years ago. I am asking you to believe. Not in my ability to bring about change — but in yours,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama ended with a familiar refrain, looking both back and ahead: \"Yes we can. Yes we did. Yes we can.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He was also careful to say that while the Russian hacks benefited Trump, he is not suggesting Trump's campaign helped coordinate the attacks or played any role in them, other than to exploit them for political advantage. \"They understood what everybody else understood, which was that this was not good for Hillary Clinton's campaign,\" the president said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama acknowledged that every \"big power\" spies and collects intelligence on each other, but, he said, \"There's a difference between that and the kind of malicious cyberattacks that steal trade secrets or engage in industrial espionage, something that we've seen the Chinese do. And there is a difference between that and activating intelligence in a way that's designed to influence elections.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama discussed cybersecurity with Vladimir Putin during a 90-minute meeting on the sidelines of the G-20 summit held in China in early September. The president characterized the meeting at the time as \"candid, blunt, businesslike.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Obama is threatening to retaliate against Russia, he has only about five weeks left in the Oval Office. Trump has dismissed — in fact, mocked — intelligence assessments tying the DNC and Podesta hacks to Russia, and he campaigned on improving the U.S. relationship with the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his interview with NPR, Obama appeared mystified by that stance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The irony of all this, of course, is that for most of my presidency, there's been a pretty sizable wing of the Republican Party that has consistently criticized me for not being tough enough on Russia,\" he said. \"Some of those folks during the campaign endorsed Donald Trump, despite the fact that a central tenet of his foreign policy was we shouldn't be so tough on Russia. And that kind of inconsistency I think makes it appear, at least, that their particular position on Russia on any given day depends on what's politically expedient.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president cited \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/12/14/gop-voters-warm-to-russia-putin-wikileaks-poll-finds/?utm_term=.40f0493f9da4\">a recent Economist-YouGov poll that found\u003c/a> Republican voters view Putin much more favorably now than they did before the 2016 presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is somebody, the former head of the KGB, who is responsible for crushing democracy in Russia, muzzling the press, throwing political dissidents in jail, countering American efforts to expand freedom at every turn; is currently making decisions that's leading to a slaughter in Syria. And a big chunk of the Republican Party, which prided itself during the Reagan era and for decades that followed as being the bulwark against Russian influence, now suddenly is embracing him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR reached out to the Trump transition team for comment but has not received a response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

He was also careful to say that while the Russian hacks benefited Trump, he is not suggesting Trump's campaign helped coordinate the attacks or played any role in them, other than to exploit them for political advantage. \"They understood what everybody else understood, which was that this was not good for Hillary Clinton's campaign,\" the president said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama acknowledged that every \"big power\" spies and collects intelligence on each other, but, he said, \"There's a difference between that and the kind of malicious cyberattacks that steal trade secrets or engage in industrial espionage, something that we've seen the Chinese do. And there is a difference between that and activating intelligence in a way that's designed to influence elections.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama discussed cybersecurity with Vladimir Putin during a 90-minute meeting on the sidelines of the G-20 summit held in China in early September. The president characterized the meeting at the time as \"candid, blunt, businesslike.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Obama is threatening to retaliate against Russia, he has only about five weeks left in the Oval Office. Trump has dismissed — in fact, mocked — intelligence assessments tying the DNC and Podesta hacks to Russia, and he campaigned on improving the U.S. relationship with the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his interview with NPR, Obama appeared mystified by that stance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The irony of all this, of course, is that for most of my presidency, there's been a pretty sizable wing of the Republican Party that has consistently criticized me for not being tough enough on Russia,\" he said. \"Some of those folks during the campaign endorsed Donald Trump, despite the fact that a central tenet of his foreign policy was we shouldn't be so tough on Russia. And that kind of inconsistency I think makes it appear, at least, that their particular position on Russia on any given day depends on what's politically expedient.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president cited \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/12/14/gop-voters-warm-to-russia-putin-wikileaks-poll-finds/?utm_term=.40f0493f9da4\">a recent Economist-YouGov poll that found\u003c/a> Republican voters view Putin much more favorably now than they did before the 2016 presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is somebody, the former head of the KGB, who is responsible for crushing democracy in Russia, muzzling the press, throwing political dissidents in jail, countering American efforts to expand freedom at every turn; is currently making decisions that's leading to a slaughter in Syria.
