On more than one occasion, former President Barack Obama and others have referred to his presidency as scandal-free, or not having any significant scandals. In the video below, Obama claims that his presidency has not had the kinds of scandals that have plagued other administrations.

In the video below, Obama claims that his presidency has not had the kinds of scandals that have plagued other administrations.
But the facts about his presidency paint a very different picture in regards to scandals. Words and phrases such as IRS, Fast and Furious, and Benghazi bring to mind scandals of significance that occurred under his watch.
In the latest example of significant scandals of his presidency, The Washington Examiner has reported that he approved $310 million in free legal advice to illegal aliens. Giving aid to law breakers, via tax payer funds, isnt exactly a non-scandal.
The Washington Examiner wrote that this was done despite the fact that it is against federal law to use tax payer funds to help illegal aliens avoid deportation. But the Obama administration okayed it and did it, anyway.

310 Million dollars that could have been used to benefit
the legal citizens of the USA.
And nary a peep from the Republicans in Congress.
Imagine that.
Wake me when the *itch is cuffs.
Unbelievable, these bastard politicians taking care of illegal immigrants ahead of its own citizenry, a sitting president who is sworn to protect and serve his country. Treasonous
Or maybe just not taxed/extorted from them in the first place.
Don’t forget the $500million he sent to Paris for “climate change”. And don’t get me started on Iran. All budgeted of course, not.
make him pay it back ,I bet he can afford it
” Obama Ignored Federal Law ...”
Who knew ?!
I have always wondered if the federal government spends billions more than Congress appropriates. How would we ever know?
Leftists break the law all the time and expect never to be punished. Then they prosecute their enemies for the smallest of issues.
JoMa
You beat me to it.
I think Obummer needs to pay us back from the salary he gets as a failed former president.
The Constitution says Barry Soetoro can’t be President.
What is the oath of an usurper worth?
He also had a few 100 million in emergency aid funds specially given to the Palestinians when he went to Egypt for his first big speech to kick off the Arab Spring. I never quite understood under what authority he could just pull that out and one never hears what comes of it.
Who is in charge of the nation’s “purse”?
Congress.
obama couldn’t have done this without their approval. Which party was in control of congress at the time???
ALL of DC are corrupt scoundrels.
ALL of them.
“obama couldnt have done this without their (congress) approval”
LOL!!!
Clinton took millions of dollars out of the budgets of various federal agencies and GAVE it to the U.N.
And BTY he enacted a Treaty by Ex. Order 12852 (UN Convention on Biological Development) after the Senate refused to even vote on it.
