Obama's comments on Brexit are well documented and indeed meddling.

Obama reaped what he sowed. You don't mess with Israel because it will come back to you, (in this case, Russian style).
"The Russians spent a reported $100,000 on Facebook ads during the election.
Barack Obama spent $350,000 to interfere with the Israeli elections to unseat pro-US Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Obama spent more than three times as much to interfere in the Israeli elections than the Russians spent on Facebook ads.
Barack Obama also interfered in the Kenyan, Egyptian, German and British elections.
CNS News reported:
According to the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI), the State Department gave $349,276 in U.S. taxpayer-funded grants to a political group in Israel to build a campaign operation, which subsequently was used to try to influence Israelis to vote against conservative Benjamin Netanyahu in the March 2015 election for prime minister."
I love when rightwing nuts rationalize their horrendous behaviors. Try using soap instead. It won’t work but at least you’ll smell better.
Russia Isn’t the Only One Meddling in Elections. We Do It, Too
“We’ve been doing this kind of thing since the C.I.A. was created in 1947,” said Mr. Johnson, now at the University of Georgia. “We’ve used posters, pamphlets, mailers, banners — you name it. We’ve planted false information in foreign newspapers. We’ve used what the British call ‘King George’s cavalry’: suitcases of cash.”
The United States’ departure from democratic ideals sometimes went much further. The C.I.A. helped overthrow elected leaders in Iran and Guatemala in the 1950s and backed violent coups in several other countries in the 1960s. It plotted assassinations and supported brutal anti-Communist governments in Latin America, Africa and Asia. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/17/s...do-it-too.html
Hypocrisy: Obama, Clinton Have Long History of Meddling in Foreign Elections
1: Team Obama tried to defeat Bibi Netanyahu in Israel
2: Team Obama tried to bring down the right-of-center government in Macedonia
3: Team Obama built up the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and helped to overthrow Hosni Mubarak
4: Bill Clinton helped Boris Yeltsin stay in power in Russia
If Russia had interfered in our election on behalf of Hillary Clinton - the conservatives would be screaming for a new election.
The DNC did meddle along with the media
A Democratic operative working to support Hillary Clinton’s campaign was canned Tuesday after an undercover video emerged showing him bragging about hiring homeless people and the mentally ill to disrupt Donald Trump’s rallies. https://nypost.com/2016/10/18/trump-...aigns-payroll/
This.... Incase you forgot.
Donna Brazile Says DNC ‘Rigged’ Primary for Hillary Clinton and Twitterverse Erupts

It doesn't have to be exactly the same thing to be meddling.
