In 2009 incoming President Barack Obama said that he and his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, would hit the "reset" button with Russia. Obama claimed that the Bush administration had strained Russian relations and he wanted to reach out to Vladimir Putin as a friend and ally. Now, in 2016, President Obama is leveling serious diplomatic sanctions on Russia claiming their cyber attacks affected the recent Presidential election. Is he admitting one of his major foreign policy goals was a miserable failure?
