Barack Obama: ‘We Didn’t Have a Scandal that Embarrassed Us’ in My Presidency
Breitbart ^ | February 27, 2018 | CHARLIE SPIERING

Posted on 02/27/2018 7:56:43 PM PST by EdnaMode

Former President Barack Obama denied that his administration had any scandals that embarrassed him or his team.

It is unclear why Obama clarified that there were no scandals “that embarrassed us.”

“There were mistakes,” he admitted. “We’d screw up, but there wasn’t anything venal during eight years. I know that seems like a low bar, but you look at the presidency; that’s no small thing.”

Conservatives remember the Obama years differently, citing the Fast and Furious scandal, the IRS scandal, wiretapping journalists, the terror attacks in Benghazi, delivering pallets of cash to Iran, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s illegal use of a private email server for government emails.

Lighting up the White House in “rainbow” colors (the homosexual flag is missing one color, as was the light-up) . . .

It’s a big pity Obama was allowed to walk on the terrible abuse of the IRS.

… “[T]here wasn’t anything venal during eight years.” …
Now why did he have to specify this? I do not recall any accusations of bribery. (Freudian slip?) Everyone on the right, at least, was convinced that every scandalous act he and his cohorts performed was out of pure ideological fervor.

That's a believable statement.Neither Obola nor any of his subordinates are capable of experiencing embarrassment.

1. You were hiding your lifelong homosexuality the whole time.

2. You identify more as a Muslim than a Christian and you were keeping that a secret too.

3. You smoked crack cocaine often, not long before your Presidency, and possibly during it.

4. Benghazi.

5. Iran deal.

6. North Korea.

7. Biggest one of all: You were born in British Columbia, Canada, to an American teen mom not old enough to confer citizenship upon you. Not only were you not natural born, you never naturalized so you have never been an American citizen. Only as a US Senator were you given a ceremonial passport to conduct official travel. Until this time you traveled abroad as an Indonesian. Indonesia paid for your US college education and you actually answered, on your college applications, the question of “Are you an American citizen?” by checking the box marked NO. Hawaii would not certify your eligibility for the presidency. Nancy Pelosi and you are the ones who signed off on your eligibility. You knew you were never a citizen because you forged your selective service form and used, since the age of 16, the social security numbers of other people.

Not just a scandal, that last, but the biggest scandal a President has ever perpetrated upon the People.

They cannot be embarrassed. They have no standards except a double, triple, or quintuple one against the rule of law.
