Longtime presidential adviser David Axelrod claims 'there hasn't been a major scandal' in the Obama White House and draws a mix of applause and laughter
Longtime Obama administration political insider David Axelrod claimed on Monday that the Obama administration hasn't been tainted by a smidgen of scandal.
The surprising boast came during a Q&A at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics, an organization he founded and leads.
'I'm proud of the fact that basically you have had an administration in place for six years in which there hasnt been a major scandal,' Axelrod said. 'And I think that says a lot about the ethical strictures of this administration.'
Audio and video of Axelrod's remarks indicate the audience's first reaction to his insistence that Obama has presided over a scandal-free government was a chorus of laughs before friendly attendees quickly drowned them out with applause.

Right. There have been too many to keep track of. The fraudulent birth certificate comes to mind. The IRS being sicced like a German Shepherd on conservatives is another.
We need “Sally Sweetlies” over here...
If 50 million people say a foolish thing, it still is a foolish thing.
You guys are all missing the point. Axelrod spoke the truth. There hasn’t been a (singular) major scandal, but a continuum of scandals. Obama’s very existence is scandalous (and fraudulent).
Not “A” major scandal...
But MANY major scandals.
He always gave me the creeps, but reminded me of a Hitler adviser. Visually speaking.
Even Oprah sees through that lie.
“Major” is relative, like the richter scale. If I went to California and a relatively little tremor shook the room, never having experienced a quake I would think I was gonna die. When axelrod got his candidate to become the democratic nominee I thought I was gonna die, but he and jarrett are so used to the smell of manure that all the fronts they have created are normal, if not the ends to their means. Who is writing the book series on the destruction of the United States in 8 years?
Somewhere in Nazi Germany, Hitler developed a hatred of Jews, so much that he wanted all of them exterminated. I think he used people like Axelrod, Sunstein and the Socialist Jewish Mafia as his reference points.
The rest of us were collateral damage.
Ask Brian Williams...
I think he meant “no major scandals that have affected Obama”.
The threshold for corruption has been raised so high that it has become business as usual. The o would have to murder the m in cold blood to get Axelrod’s attention.
Oh Valerie the open secret desk operator/agent who was there for all to see and hear and She was OUTED! WHAT A FRIGGIN JOKE They must really think we are dumb - unfortunately they are half right.
The proverbial Three Blind Mice see better than he does.
When liberals speak, you can read a lot between the lines.
Oh yes, and there’s been no controversies, either. /s
Thanks Libloather.
It’s only “major” if caught and impeached
