Carr: Obama legacy a big lie, let me count the ways
Boston Herald ^ | January 15, 2017 | By Howie Carr

Posted on 01/15/2017 4:17:35 AM PST by Brad from Tennessee

On fake news “60 Minutes” tonight, Obama will make this incredible statement:

“I’m proud of the fact that with two weeks to go, we’re probably the first administration in modern history that hasn’t had a major scandal in the White House.”

Can someone say Big Lie? There’s not room enough in this whole newspaper to list all the scandals, big and small, that have enveloped this most corrupt of all regimes in American history, modern or otherwise.

One website last week came up with 633, and they missed more than a few!

Just for starters, Hillary Clinton is probably beseeching him right now for a pardon, given the crimes she committed as his highest-ranking Cabinet official. Ya think Hillary’s a little concerned now about the deplorables?

Here are a few others Obama and his courtiers have apparently forgotten:

• Benghazi, and the video lie.

• Fast and Furious, the assault-rifle-running scheme to Mexican drug cartels that left at least two Americans dead.

• “If you like your doctor … .”

• Congress allowed to exempt itself from Obamacare.

• Cash for Clunkers.

• Shovel-ready jobs that weren’t.

• The Mideast “apology tour,” where he referred to America’s “Muslim founding fathers. . ."

The Treason (repeated, ending in rape/murder and crucifixion
of hundreds of thousands; AND ISIS) will be remembered
FOREVER, making Benedict Arnold a joke
compared to O-terrorist and his Clinton-Pizzagater.

“The exception of the complexion” If the white progressive rat did anything right this was brilliant! A black man as a president would be free from any and all criminal activities because of what he is not who he is. Be careful of the backlash if you choose to criticize is the “racist” brand. They picked the right candidate, a narcissistic young black activist who is a no body and has done nothing in his life up to this point was cleared a path to the highest office in the land to bring his hope and change carnival to those who believe, free stuff and criminal activities for all. He came in as a no body and is leaving a nobody. He, in 8 years “wasn’t” smart enough to realize he could have went down a different path and became one of the greats.He wasnt as brilliant as valarie jarret told us he was. Another liar

Depends on the definition of ‘major’ I surmise with this current Demoncrat. Remember it’s not a lie if you really believe ( it ).

Only a pathetically immature and insecure man would make a proclamation that his administration was scandal free. The facts are what they are and history will judge, not him.

How about replacing 3 full time jobs with benefits with 5 part time jobs without benefits? I’ve talked to a few people who have to work multiple part time jobs and pay for their own insurance. The premiums and deductibles are outrageous.

To be fair, poor financial performance is more down to simple naivete and incompetence than scandal.

It is the same naivete that has Obama living in a fool’s paradise. He gets fawning press from a politically aligned media and thinks he’s doing a great job and a clean one. The IRS scandal, for instance, had motive and opportunity. The plan and the coordination originated in the White House because...they could originate nowhere else. Obama himself has dropped hints left and right with his constant harangues against any and all critics, especially any organized opposition. His ego, his hard-core Marxism and his obvious glee at wielding the levers of power al mean that it is a dead cert that Obama initiated the IRS targeting.

The media largely refused to cover the most obvious timing and circumstances so by their standard it’s not a full-on scandal. Quite convenient.

...Can someone say Big Lie?...

Liberalism and the Democrat party are founded on big lies and emotion. Nothing else.

Problem is just who is writing that history.

Most historians especially in academia tend to be lib.

Unless we can do a through delibbing of our halls of higher learning, it will be a long time before the REAL truth is reported.

I haven't watched 60 Minutes since they did a hatchet job on John Connally back in 1980.

While we're on the subject of 60 Minutes, how is it that their viewership has to be told every Sunday during football season that they tuned into a football game at 7 pm instead of their beloved propaganda machine but not to worry because it will be seen afterwards in its entirety? What's it going to take for the best and brightest viewers in all TV to figure this out on their own?

"Muffins? Why is Morely Safer wearing that garish striped shirt and doing a report on a gaggle of cleat-wearing neanderthals?

You mean that's not 60 Minutes? It's a football game? But I tuned in precisely at 7 p.m. Why does this keep happening?

My word, this is ghastly. There are large Negroes bashing each other and promotions for non-PBS programming. I feel faint and disoriented.

What's that? 60 Minutes will follow this vulgarity in its entirety? Oh heavens, such good news! I am relieved and regaining some of my strength. Thank you, poopsie.

That scandal should have been in the top 3, along with Hillary/email/slush fund and Benghazi.

The mainstream media have an arrangement with Barack the First. Nothing Barack does will count as a scandal, and if it does count, it was Bush’s fault.

Just when I thought that we may have endured his unctuousness’s last teleprompter reading we find he’ll do it again tonight. This time “in his own words”.
I kid not, another shiny thing that they think says look here. We are in for reruns of what some consider great for years? Local news use to not cover anything but local issues, now they lead off with praise propaganda stories of this regime.
