Former Obama administration official Samantha Vinograd admonished President Donald Trump on Friday for not calling Russia "an enemy" of the United States.

The remark by the now-CNN contributor was striking given that her former boss, President Barack Obama, mocked Republican opponent Mitt Romney in 2012 for calling Russia our "No. 1 geopolitical foe," saying it showed Romney was stuck in a "Cold War mind warp." At one debate, Obama told Romney that "the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back."

Vinograd served as a senior adviser to National Security Adviser Tom Donilon in the Obama administration, in addition to working on the National Security Council. On Friday, she ripped the Trump administration for its response to special counsel Robert Mueller's indictment of 12 Russian nationals for hacking the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign during the 2016 presidential campaign.

White House officials did not address the fact that Russians attacked the country in their statements, she said.

"The president went to Brussels. He refused to call the Russians an enemy," Vinograd told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "He called them a competitor."

She added her suspicion that Trump would not confront Russian President Vladimir Putin over Russia's election interference in their Helsinki summit on Monday, but would rather apologize to him.

Has Trump tweeted about the 1980s called comment by Obama?? If not then I would expect it soon.

If the Dems want to blame anyone for Russia “meddling” then the blame should fall squarely on Barry’s shoulders. Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if Putin was watching that debate and I realized at that moment the US was vulnerable.

No one has ever accused a progressive of continuity of thought. Their positions change as the opportunity to bash the other side changes.

It’s apparent that 95% of this board and 40% of Americans agree with O.

The 80’s did call and want their foreign policy back.

Even 45 agrees with Obama. Russians are no longer a problem. Am-I-Right?

Stuff like this prove beyond a shadow of doubt just how intellectually dishonest the left is, and how the msm enables them to say almost anything without criticism.

The very people on the left who, 15 years ago, were protesting the Bush-era foreign policy of pre-emptive war and rhetoric like "Axis of Evil" and "you're either with us or against us" are now acting like neocon warmongers. Y'all want a Cold War with Russia, have clamored for regime change in Syria, reflexively defend the NSA, CIA and FBI and have become best friends with the Bush era neocons whose bloodthirst knows no limits. If you want to see what a hypocrite looks like, look at your fellow liberals.

Obama was such a light weight.

This is what Obama had to say:

This is just odd. 45 attacks patriots in our own country, members of the NSA, FBI & CIA and praises Putin and Kim Jung Un. Dems want a Cold War? They have no power...are you crazy?

Instead, a majority here and 1/3 of the country suddenly want friendship with a KGB agent who kills reporters, invades sovereign nations to annex them against their will. Interesting times indeed

Understood. You’re an understood drone of the orange messiah that lacks critical thinking skills. The world is made up of millions like you, but it still keeps turning

And the entire political establishment is in bed with the Saudi's, who have also killed reporters and are currently turning Yemen into the worst place on Earth, with the enthusiastic support of and funding from the very politicians you claim are taking a "moral" stand against Russia.

I always deal in facts. I understand, you believe in the derp state, is deep state. So I’m not going to argue with you. The derp state you search for is always in opposition of the facts.

So what occurred during the Obama administration?

More Flexibility? Check.
The 80s Called? Check.
Reset? Check.
Uranium One? Check.
Crimea? Check.
Ukraine? Check.
Election Meddling? Check.

Whose fault is it all?

Trump!
