He told him to "cut it out." And at his news conference yesterday promised that there will be consequences. A "clear message will be sent".
I think Putin should be and probably is defecating stone building materials at the thought of what President Obama will do now.
DUs best guesses?

Suspending the constitution or overturning the election results is not.

I thought Obama's Presser was pretty clear to the rest of us. You elected these people after giving me shit for eight years. Now you get to reap the whirlwind.
In the end it's up to the individual voter to believe BS or not to. BS won this time around.

Cancel the visas of dozens of Putin's diplomats in Washington.
Somebody get an IRS agent to print Fat Bastard's tax records.
