LIST: Obama’s 29 scandals and the media’s campaign to hide them
The Washington Examiner ^ | April 16, 2018 | by Paul Bedard

Was former President Obama the “scandal free,” top 10 greatest president he claimed to be as he exited the White House?

To his aides and most in the media, the answer has been a hearty “yes.”

The View’s Joy Behar said, “President Obama, for eight years, was completely scandal-free.” NBC’s Tom Brokaw said, “He’s been scandal free, frankly, in the White House. We haven’t had that what for a while.”

But now, to counter that legacy campaign, biographer Matt Margolis has penned a book detailing some 29 “scandals” under Obama in, “The Scandalous Presidency of Barack Obama.”

It reviews some of the bigger affairs, such as the Benghazi attacks, and littler ones, like his stonewalling of the media, in an effort to chip away at Obama’s stain-free legacy.

And it also details the ways the media sometimes played along -- or played dead -- in a pattern that has been flipped in the coverage of President Trump.

“Obama’s supporters in the media, academia, and the grassroots of the Democratic Party are invested in the idea that his presidency was an unparalleled success, and that he was the archetype of presidential ethics. Nothing could be further from the truth, as the following pages prove, but if they repeat their lies often enough, perhaps others will believe them,” wrote Margolis.

He also hopes that it keeps a focus on Obama’s administration and its effort to help 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.

MSM is a traitorous enemy and if the time comes, should be tried and dealt with as such.

Did Anderson Cooper ever interview the gay guy who claimed to have had an affair with B. Obama and ask for details?

How was it narrowed down to a mere 29?

was it a consolidation thing, like there were only 29 major wars in human history or somthing? Or, there are only 29 religions ever invented?

29 Scandals?

Hell, Bammie could pull off 29 scandals in just a month.

I think it was Grundle here who kept a running list of the scams, scandals, illegal actions and other crimes and misdemeanors Obastard got away with over his two terms.

It was well over a thousand.

The problem with truth... It’s always there, and it’s always the truth and it’s hard to ignore forever... Just ask Teddy Kennedy and his relatives.

The biggest one was that as a child of a foreign national he was not a natural born citizen and was ineligible to be President and everyone in the District of Corruption knew it.

The Left has its head shoved completely up its can. Without actual convictions many will outright reject any and all evidence of Democrat wrongdoing that can be given and even with convictions, should they ever transpire, many probably will continue to drink the Obama Cool Aid.

The seriousness of the charges for others vs no charge is ever serious enough for their own: a fair summation of the Left’s hypocrisy.

I was addressing the sort of evidence the Left would even accept to be evidence at all. Or even that some would never accept anything as evidence.

Waiting for convictions is like waiting for Republicans to grow backbones.
