The Russians have an opinion but they get accussed of influencing elections when they do far less than Obama.

The French Election has nothing to do with Obama, and beither did Brexit.

Nigel Farage isn't even an MP and Le-Pen is not an Ex-President.

The fact that Obama who was President when he made his Brexit remarks and is now still an Ex-President is interfering is entirely different.

When Obama told Great Britain they would go to the bottom of the list of trading partners before the Brexit vote and while he was President that was foreign interference.

Now that he is just another Joe Shmoe who cares!

He's not really a Joe Shmoe as you put it, he still carries quite a bit of clout as an Ex President of the most powerful country in the world.

Furthermore people don't like being told what to do, indeed in terms of Brexit it backfired on him, and he ended up in a spat with Boris Johnson who was London Mayor at the time, but is now Foreign Secretary (the equivalent of US secretary of State).

Why diesn't he just keep his outh shut, which is what most sensible people do in terms of elections in a Foreign Country.

The interference from Obama is far worse than that levelled against Russia imho.
