Obama Scandal: Former President Obama and his political supporters have repeatedly stated that his administration was scandal-free, unlike administrations before and after. "We're probably the first administration in modern history that hasn't had a major scandal in the White House," Obama himself said. A new book puts the lie to that statement. Never mind that the left-leaning big media basically ignored major scandals during the Obama years, ranging from the IRS targeting scandal and the VA's deadly waiting lists for veterans to Hillary Clinton's illegal use of an unsecured, hackable home-brew server for her official duties as secretary of state and the Fast and Furious gunwalking program. These and others were epic scandals that the media simply ignored or downplayed. The media have contrasted Obama's supposed honesty and forthrightness with President Trump's supposed venality and political unscrupulousness, as embodied in the year-and-a-half long Russia-Trump scandal investigation that shows few signs of letting up.

FTR as a bit of trivia did you know the My Pillow guy is a huge Republican donor? Supports Trump.

I only read the excerpt.
Hopefully, the author also mentions the absolute political corruption in the DOJ, FBI, Intelligence Agencies, and the Federal Judiciary.
Stock market bubble, anyone?
The guy was a usurper from day 1. Everything else he did after that was without constitutional authority.
Obama picked which parts of laws to enforce and ignored those he didn’t like. His IRS targeted conservative political groups and got away with it because the media didn’t care. Obama used the DOJ as a political weapon filled with bureaucrats who put radical ideology above the law. They stopped enforcement of immigration laws and threatened to sue states that enforced their own immigration laws. His DOJ was secretly monitoring thousands of phone calls from Associated Press and other journalists, too. People forget about that.
They wrote the book... a year ago. The article is from March, 2018. Interesting book, BTW.
Biden also abused the system..
obama did what he wanted and the media served him. The truth be known, most in congress abuse the system.. but they are hell bent on one man they hate..
The obama administration was lawless and went after anyone who objected. The media’s treatment of Trump is on the wrong man. And they don’t care. It’s a biased political public destruction of a man and conservatism.. and the dim party has turned on the President, the people, and our country.
Well blow me down.
I have always said that to name something is to guarantee its success or failure. For instance, if a restaurant is named The Pit, chances of success are slim. The Title of a movie does the same thing.
After reading the IBD’s article, I know why few people missed the book. THE TITLE.
What was Peter Schweiker thinking, except maybe, OK let me be as vague as possible.
He should have titled it: Obama Administration Scandals.
That may have sold more than ten books.
Yeah, but they don’t count. Just like celebs. Except when it comes to voting. Then they count twice. :-)
