Obama’s ‘Scandal-Free Administration’ Is a Myth

You often hear that the Obama administration, whatever its other failings, has been “scandal-free.” Valerie Jarrett, the president’s closest adviser, has said he “prides himself on the fact that his administration hasn’t had a scandal and he hasn’t done something to embarrass himself.”

Obama got away with more scandals than any other president because he is given Democrat Privilege by the Press and Hollywood.

75% of all political scandals are fabricated by the opposition.

In Obama's case the wingnuts didn't need to fabricate any scandal - the fact that he was black was scandalous enough (In their eyes).

How times fly.I woulda sworn it was a 60's TV commercial.
The 60's were a trend setting decade.In most things.
Like Hair,clothes and music.Plus Radicals making inroads
at Universities and of course the '68 DNC convention.
Marlon Brando had much to say about the way Native Americans
were treated.He had to pick spots to explain.He used
Talk TV like Johny Carson and Mike Douglas and Dick Cavett.

A rose by any other name.......

Here, from things you never wanted to know.....

"Indeed, the deep state (as the President and his defenders brand it) has been relentless. Nor is this purely partisan. The same deep state which is dogging Trump also prevented Obama from closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

But where did the American deep state come from? Has it always been there?

In fact, the evolution of the deep state (and this choice of term, “evolution” as opposed to “creation”, will be explained later) is — some might say ironically — found in a nearly 140-year old anti-corruption “reform” measure; one that was explicitly focused upon depoliticizing the civilian component of the United States government.

Let’s first describe what is called the deep state. It is the unelected part of the state that is professionalized to the point that it can be secure in its place and power regardless of political trends. It has the well-earned habit of ignoring political comings and goings, confident in its mastery of its realm. It knows the system better than any elected interloper, and it also knows its interests: survive and flourish even in the midst of upheaval.

A Fertile Soil​

In the decades before the Civil War, a miniscule civil service corps was staffed via what would seem perfectly corrupt by today’s standards: the “spoils system.” Positions were doled out to individuals who had actively supported candidates or raised substantial campaign donations contributing to the victory of the newly-incumbent political party. With the defeat of the party in power, previous appointees would leave government employment and be replaced by the favored and distinguished supporters of the new administration. Needless to say, the federal bureaucracy was highly, explicitly politicized; but it was also tiny, bore few powers, and in any event almost completely overturned every four years.

With the onset of the Progressive Era came the movement to introduce “science” to many previously independent or loosely organized endeavors, and the spoils system soon came under attack. The Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act (1883) created a merit-based system of examinations and other requirements, and a salaried class of government employees.

If a tree falls in the woods and American Pravda fails to report on it, does it make a sound for democrats?

Well if there are only republicans around the tree and yelling timber, then no it makes no sound that can be heard as they are drowning out the sound. Then it becomes a matter did they cut the tree down and are democrats to blame.

None of those were real scandals. ALL of them were manufactured by F0X News, including IRS, Fast and Furious, Benghazi.

Where are the arrests and convictions????

The real moral problem was the CU decision combined with the IRS rule that contravene the law regarding tax free anonymous donations to public service groups who were not suppose to delve into politics at all. According to the law no amount of politicking can be done, but the IRS rule says up to 50% of the groups activity can be political. After CU then application for these tax free haven PAC's skyrocketed. Lois Lerner's infraction was using political sounding names to choose a list of applications for verification, when she should have used a more randomized process. In her defense most government programs that require a verification process, spells out in detail the selection process that is required. After the CU decision the rules were not changed. So not only did she not break the law or the rules but there were no rules to break.

The inspector generals audit confirmed they violated irs policy because they werent being impartial. Then they got sued for it.
It was also found this shit was never reported to congress during the 2012 election year. Rules stated, they must be notified within 7 days.
Thats called a "scandal"

So no law was broken, just a partial selection process for choosing which application were verifiedm and a broken reporting rule. Not a scandal. The real scandal is the IRS changed the law decades ago to allow tax free anonymous donations to be used for political purposes. Neither party wants to shed light on that fact.

The IG report said they were not being impartial. Thats called a "scandal" Its morally wrong. The very definition of the word.

The narrative of the IG? The fact that several people had to resign? There were lawsuits that got settled by the govt? There were public apologies?
What? What is the "tripe" you speak of?

Their history of the evolution of the so called deep state seemed spot on to me.

"A bigger question is whether the deep state is, even as an unintended consequence of the Pendleton Act, a “feature” or a “bug”. Do unelected government employees play a critical role in restoring equilibrium even in a nominal democracy, or do they represent an insidious, potentially worrisome repository of accidental power?"

Also, I'm just pointing out that the idea behind the "Duh Heap" State did not start in 2008.
