Think Obama Administration Wasn't Corrupt? Think Again
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 3/21/2018 | Editorial

Posted on 03/05/2019 8:48:36 PM PST by frnewsjunkie

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.

This article: obama lowered the value of one business to let another benefit... biden took his son to China for benefit... both did many things that were scandalous, but the media did not report any of them.

EXTORTION 17!!!

Team Obama placing nearly 20 U.S. Navy SEALs along with a couple of suspicious Afghan characters ABOARD ONE NON-MILITARY GRADE CHINOOK and outright MURDERING THEM then LYING about details of it afterwards is perhaps one of the most heinous Obama crimes.

Obama had more scandals than other Presidents... and it is plain to see he did not want anyone to know.. so he bragged his administration was without scandal. I heard a fellow obama lover today, say he did not have to deal “with this stuff” (that Trump has), because obama had no scandals... and I knew he was one big scandal after another.. and how did the media give him a pass.. did he have the new panthers as back up to scare most who did not dare cross him... and today they call him perfect... so I went looking for it written.

Obama is NOT a natural born citizen.

His being sworn in was a violation of the Constitution.

BOTH parties participated.

Myriad crimes ensued, none of which were properly investigated because the GOP was complicit in the violation of the Constitution.

“Over the next seven years, as both Joe Biden and John Kerry negotiated sensitive and high-stakes deals with foreign governments,

December of 2013, for instance, Biden traveled to China for talks. He brought Hunter Biden along. While there, the senior Biden soft-pedaled China’s clear aggression, and played up the bilateral trade partnership. Ten days after the trip concluded, China’s central bank, the Bank of China, set up a $1 billion investment joint venture called Bohai Harvest RST. For the record, the “RS” referred to Biden’s son’s firm, Rosemont Seneca.

I have said all along that this is the real reason President Trump is hated by the dims.

They are terrified that he will prosecute the people who used heir position in government to graft, get kickbacks, get government contracts for their kinfolk and insider friends, etc.

There are two things the dumb GOPe could do to support the President and drive the dims out of power.

First is to publicize the graft, not just in some obscure article that only conservatives read, but in every single public utterance, whether in writing, on TV or in a major speech.

Second: The conservatives should constantly harp on the Russian investigation. Not in the way they have so far, rather they should admit at every opportunity that there is collusion, and that it is between the dims and the Russians. Even worse, collusion between the dims and the British secret service.

There was a serious attempt on the part of foreign powers to control our election and it was in collaboration with the dims. The dims even paid foreign groups to assure that Trump would not be president,.

Again,, not just in publications only read by conservatives, but in every public utterance by any conservative, daily, multiple times each day.

Use CNN, NBC, the Daily Mail, etc. multiple times every day.

Instead we see this almost exclusively in media seen only by a small percentage of the voting public.

Look at the guy that makes “My Pillow”. I am no fan of his pillow, but he sure knows how o sell pillows. The wimps in the republican party need to take lessons from him.

Obama’sgoals.

Diminish the power of the US and it’s allies especially the UK. (anti-colonialism payback).

Enhance the spread of Islam by letting more immigrants into the US, supporting terrorists, and practicing islam in the WH. Focusing immigrants into high percentage of white areas to undermine the culture.

Increase dependents on governmental programs.

Sabotage conservative groups.

Tighten gun control by distributing guns to cartels so he could make political hay when they sed the weapons.

Undermine the police and the military.

Right On!! I agree... this side does should be saying over and over.. what obama and hillary, et al.. did... it would change the subject and take the air out of all the dims talk and lies. As it is, the media and the left are falsely chaging Trump with what hillary and obama did... and it is not brought up .. not mentioned often enough!

And I agree... I went looking for what obama had in the works to scare the media and anyoe who would even think of attacking him... who protected him in the background and the threats he used to hold power over individuals.

I’m tired of the attacks and the GOP being too nice in this fight. We voted and congress answers to the people... the GOP hangs back... slow..hope they don’t have to work.. while te dims are in the mode to do nothing but attack and play detectie...

If the GOP would bring up every item on the dims’ list of untouchables... it would help ... they are too quiet and tryng to be civil in the midst of a bunch of wolves

If it isn’t on TV it never happened. It’s all about the coverage.

Image over substance. A lot of private industry is falling prey to the very same thing.

The Inside the Beltway Occupants eat from the same trough. None of them wanted to hold Obama accountable, he was sanctioned and most importantly he was black. They wouldn’t challenge his citizenship or any of his bs acts in the WH. Then we elected Trump. Now they crapped in their sandbox and want us to close our eyes while they clean it up. They can GFO. Trump in 2020. MAGA
