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 hasn’t 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.

Obama Not Apologetic After Angry 'Profanity-Laced' Lecture to Reporters Reporting on Scandals

"I have seen in the last year Barack Obama really angry twice. Both were off-the-record times. One, profanity-laced where he thought the press was making too much of scandals that he did not think were scandals.

The major scandal is that this SOB was elected twice.

Axelrod looks like a 1950s B&W porno actor.

I despise Axelrod and all the talking head Baghdad Bob white house propagandists. Every time I think about that concocted Valerie Plume BS by the dimocrats that we had to listen to compared to what they are doing, my blood boils.

Not reported, for the most part. We know more about his vacations and his wife’s glamorous exploits than much else.

The ONLY reason that there hasn’t be “a major scandal” is because everybody in the DemocRAT’s state controlled, commie “media” have their lips stuck to Soetoro’s @$$.

One can only conclude he reads only the MSM news to have such a mindset.

“Axelrod is delusional.”

He's worse than delusional.

Well, yeah...maybe a ‘young’ Meathead...otherwise if he wanted to look like Meathead of today, he’d need a couple of triple cheeseburgers in each hand.

Hey Axleshaft...

If the media doesn’t see it, it’s not a scandal.

If a scandal falls in the White House is it a scandal if the media simply refuses to hear it?

Axelrod & Comrade obamatollah are leftwing communists.

Leftwing communists lie.

Followers of satan/allah practice taqiyya.

It’s not rocket science...
