“I am very proud of the fact that we will — knock on wood — leave this administration without significant scandal.” — President Obama at his Nov. 14 news conference.
Ah, the lie oft repeated . . .
Define scandal. Or perhaps “significant scandal.”
Well, let’s start with the IRS scandal — or is there another word for what happens when public officials in one of government’s most sensitive departments make decisions based on ideology. Let’s see, how about when any organization with the words “tea party” in its name applies for tax-exempt status? Lois Lerner, who headed the tax exempt division resigned.
But guess that’s only a “significant scandal” for those groups still waiting to hear back from the IRS.
And what about the billions of tax dollars wasted on the Healthcare.gov website that had to be completely redone?
Or the outright lies being told about waiting lists by Veterans Administration personnel and the vets who suffered as a result?
“We’ve made mistakes, there have been screw-ups,” Obama said, “but I will put the ethics of this administration and our track record in terms of just abiding by the rules and norms, and keeping trust with the American people — I will put this administration against any administration in history.”
Tell that to the family of a vet who died while on some fictitious waiting list.

How about Fast and Furious where 0bama, Holder and company are accomplices to mass murder?
I’m just glad that Europe got through WWII without anyone getting hurt.
“Scandal Free” thanks to U.S. Attny General in the tank, and who look past their own nose !
As Jimmy Durante said in IAMMMMW, “Is He Kidding?”
And Bengazi , and 6 billion down the drain for solyndra .
Scandal. Translation: impeachment....
Wait. What?!
How about Benghazi?
So the corruption so endemic within the Justice Department is not a scandal? Loretta Lynch meeting with the husband of someone who is the subject of a criminal investigation is not a scandal?
The buck doesn't stop with Obama, it stops with his direct reports.

“I am very proud of the fact that we will — knock on wood — leave this administration without significant scandal.”
Key word is leave. Will he be able to say that after, no. He is doing his best to project wishful thinking his perceptions become a reality, only because he says so.
After watching some videos of how Pompeo has dealt with this administration might be a very, very different story once they get command of the castle keys. I am of the opinion that everybody is simply keeping their powder dry at the same time letting The Won delude himself and his sycophants into thinking they have gotten away with it.
Due to the fact that PC Western "culture" requires teflon to be added to anything "Black".
Obama is the beneficiary of a compliant roll-over press.
They’re more like ‘free scandals’ because 0dunga NEVER pays a price for them!
Only because of the Ministry of Propaganda was he able to contain the scandals. That and assistance from some wearing R jerseys.
Running guns to the Cartels in Mexico with the goal of increasing violence there to undermine the 2nd Amendment here.
Illegally toppling the government of Libya to use it as a base to illegally run guns to jihadists in Syria, where they were trying to illegally topple another government.
Leaving Americans to die in Benghazi to cover up the gun running.
There is a lengthy list.
The entire Soetero administration is a scandal.
To say nothing of the Oblivious One committing the federal felony of Aiding and Abetting Voter Fraud by encouraging an illegal immigrant to vote in the presidential election and telling her that he would see that there were no legal repercussions.
Bttt.
