How long? Will the media hang with the one? My bet is 4 months, of course I thought Mc/Palin would win so what do I know.
What qualifies as “major scandle”?
Oops . . . scandal that is.
Next Friday and it will have something to do with illegal drugs or a dui. I don’t know who but I have a feeling.
Before January!
The people he surrounds himself with are arrogant and/or stupid. Dangerous in DC.
It won’t matter. We probably won’t hear about it.
Something all the major media will cover that is very negative of Obummer.
Hopefully we can make every day a scandal...when he fires all of the attorneys let’s cry about it like the libtards do.
I don’t know. There are one or two from the campaign. The question is when will anyone in the MSM hire a real reporter?
You're joking; right?
Never and NO
The guy is laden with corruption, scandals, and October surprises - none of them stuck during campaign because the media wouldn’t let them. Obama is invincible and anything extreme he does will recieve absolute loyalty from the media.
Hmmm. Good question. I really think it will take some time. At least a year. And I’m thinking a real scandal, not some faux “he was born in Antarctica” thing. I think they are going to lay off him for a good long while.
I think Hillary will do him in, behind the scenes of course. He has enemies in his party that much is sure.
It doesn’t matter because the MSM thinks Obama walks on water. End of discussion. If anyone complains about anything, he/she is a racist.
An anguished Bill Ayers will discover that Odumbo is cheating on him with Hugo Chavez, and fly into a violent, shrieking jealous rage in full public view, on the White House lawn.
Already happened - President-elect Barack Obama’s newly appointed chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, served on the board of directors of the federal mortgage firm Freddie Mac at a time when scandal was brewing at the troubled agency and the board failed to spot “red flags,” according to government reports reviewed by ABCNews.com.
“Clinton’s going-away gift to Emanuel was a seat on the quasi-governmental Freddie Mac board, which paid him $231,655 in director’s fees in 2001 and $31,060 in 2000,” Lynn Sweet wrote for the Chicago Sun-Times on Jan. 3, 2002.
During the time Emanuel spent on the board, Freddie Mac was plagued with scandal involving campaign contributions and accounting irregularities. Freddie Mac and its sister organization Fannie Mae were taken over by the federal government in September 2008 after years of mismanagement and scandal. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson put the two beleaguered GSEs into a conservatorship, stripping common stock shareholders of their rights to govern the companies.
“Freddie Mac was accused of illegally using corporate resources between 2000 and 2003 for 85 fundraisers that collected about $1.7 million for federal candidates,” an Associated Press story from April 18, 2006 said. “Much of the fundraising benefited members of the House Financial Services Committee, a panel whose decisions can affect Freddie Mac.”
And, since his successful run for the House of Representatives in 2002, Emanuel has been the beneficiary of campaign cash from Freddie Mac and its sister organization Fannie Mae – $51,750 according to the Center for Responsive Politics Web site OpenSecrets.org.

The first major scandal has already happened. Obummer was elected President. Can’t imagine a bigger scandal.
Think about it. He is choosing ex Clinton people for his administration. Not real bright considering how much Hillary hates his arse.
The media will cover for Hussein the Magic Marxist no matterb what. They all have their presidential kneepads.
