PRESIDENT OBAMA: That was a rhetorical question, that first one. (Laughter.) Rather than comment on hypotheticals, let me say specifically what I did. Obviously, my assets were significantly smaller than some other Presidents or President-elects. But we made a decision to liquidate assets that might raise questions about how it would influence policy.
I basically had our accountant put all our money in Treasury bills -- the yields, by the way, have not been massive over the course of the last eight years -- (laughter) -- just because it simplified my life. I did not have to worry about the complexities of whether a decision that I made might even inadvertently benefit me.
And that's consistent with the broader approach that we've taken throughout my administration, which is to not just meet the letter of the law, but to go well beyond the letter to the spirit of the law -- not just for me, but for the people in the White House and in our leadership positions.
We have established a whole set of rules, norms, playbooks that just keep us far away from the line......

In my eight years, we have had scandals involving high treason, but we have not had scandals reported that have plagued like other administrations did. We clearly should have.
He’s half white but he got a triple dose of Kanye in him:
“I’m great and I NEVER do anything wrong. Others are constantly in complete AWE of me. I’m the King of the world.”
It’s a type of SICKNESS.
>>I guess in his world, if there is a scandal and the MSM does not report on it, it never happened.
Remember, that’s how he handles world crises too. “I learned about it on MSNBC when I got up this morning.”
This is why you don’t elect a Post Turtle president just because you like his skin color.
POS mentally deficient juvenile.......
Running the BLM terrorist group out of the White House is a kind of big scandal, in my opinion.
Actively encouraging illegal immigration and illegals voting is a pretty big scandal also.
That’s what happens when you have a compliant, complicit media.
I didn’t hear the MSM admit to Fast and Furious even existing. Since the media and Obama day no scandals, then no scandals it is, in their reality for the rest of us.
And he realized it way too late...
To the Current Occupant:
