In 2 Terms, Obama Had Fewer Scandals Than Trump Has Had In The Last 2 Weeks

[kaz]

Who said Obama had no scandals?

You did

I did? I thought I argued Fast and Furious and the IRS represented minor scandals. That makes for a remarkably scandal free administration.

Yes, I gave you a long list of major scandals and you said he had two minor ones, maybe, you'll entertain the idea. You're a ho. It's pathetic how liberal women prostitute yourselves for the party

 

[kaz]

I'm not a W supporter, I didn't vote for him and I repeatedly say that, moron. I also have consistently criticized our presence in the middle east and oppose all our wars over there. How many times do you have to hear something before it sinks in? Stop being an idiot.

And yes, all of those were morally reprehensible. For example, W, Pelosi and Reid and the rest of both parties hand in hand got us in the middle east wars. Democrat lies that it was all W and not you are morally despicable. Own up to your actions. And Obama running against that then expanding our presence and expanding the wars to new locations is morally despicable. All of those were morally reprehensible acts.

Liberals are so dumb. You think the world is Republicans and Democrats so to not be a Democrat is to be a Republican. Then we all agree with Republicans, because you know, we're Republicans ... because we aren't Democrats. The mental acuity of all you simpletons combined barely jerks the needle

You make a lot of assumptions about me, despite what I've written - at least as many as I seem to about you. Maybe you ought to examine the epithet's you throw out so broadly and see how they might apply to yourself.

I've always rejected the Democrats that went along with Bush on the invasion of Iraq - they were moral cowards and no better than W and the Republicans and it was one of the things that was a black mark against Clinton too.

Not so. I totally believed Bush that Saddam was behind 9/11. At first. Later I felt duped. Who would think the President would lie into a war like that?

At least he came clean later.

Now he lives in pretty much in secret in disgrace.

It's not a crime to believe the president after such a horrific event. The crime is what Bush did knowing he was being misleading. Not just to America, but to the whole world.

I never believed it for a second - that was the weakest point of the argument. I couldn't believe they actually voted to invade a sovereign nation - still remember the feeling in the pit of my stomach when that happened. Kind of like the feeling when Trump got elected come to think of it...

Here's the thing. You voted for someone in 2004 who wanted to "invade a sovereign nation." You voted for someone in 2008 and 2012 who actually invaded "a sovereign nation." Then in 2016 you voted for someone who voted to "invade a sovereign nation" again.

In 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 ... I didn't. You're a fucking liar. Grow up. You are stuck in your ridiculous wars with Republicans. The rest of us may be a small group, but we are laughing at you

Who did I vote for in 2004?

Who did you vote for in each of those years?

See, you make a lot of assumptions about people.

As always.

As always, you come back with zero content. So you're denying you voted for Kerry?

Then explain why it was an argument to me that Bush, who I didn't vote for, didn't support and I condemn both for his military policies and his spending orgy is just as bad. No shit.

The point of that argument is your narrow minded view that there are Republicans and Democrats, not Democrat is Republican. There was no other purpose for what you said. Yeah, W sucked. So did HW. We've had a string, HW, Slick, Slick, W, W, O, O of the worst Presidents in our history. There have been worse individual Presidents, but geez, the repetition of it. And they are all the same. Big government spending and repeated and excessive overuse of the military

My narrow minded view? You don't even read what I write. You've already filled it all in.

Yes, your stupid narrow minded view. You can see Republicans and Democrats. There is nothing else in your narrow minded view. And the joke is there is so little difference between you. And yet that tiny microscopic difference is the entire spectrum of humanity is why you are so completely fucking stupid. Yeah, there are you and Republicans. You graduated high school on social promotions

Whatever you want dude...it's not like you read what other's post anyway.

You keep calling me a Republican, you stupid dyke. You don't read your own posts

 

[bripat9643]

Obama had no scandals in 8 years...

Just like there have been no successful terrorist attacks on US soil the last 8 years

...just like 'it was a protest over a video...

...just like if you liked your plan you got to keep your plan...

I listed 14 of them in another post, moron. The left is in a permanent state of denial.

This is a major departure from the presidencies of George W. Bush, Clinton, Reagan and Nixon.

WASHINGTON ― Scandal has consumed the final four years of every two-term president in modern history ― George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon. Barack Obama’s administration is the exception.

While there were some minor scandals and resignations during Obama’s eight years in office, wrongdoing never fully occupied his presidency. None of it even directly touched the White House. There were no grand juries investigating his aides. There were no impeachments. There were neither convictions of White House staffers, nor pardons to protect government officials.

This was a significant departure from the previous four two-term presidents. George W. Bush’s second term featured convictions related to the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal, in which more than a dozen lobbyists and government officials went to jail for corruption. There were also convictions related to the politically motivated purge of U.S. attorneys and the retaliatory leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame’s identity.

As everyone who was sentient in the 1990s recalls, Clinton was impeached over his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky. Reagan’s second term was plagued by corruption investigations ranging from Iran-Contra to Wedtech, a contracting scandal that led to the resignation of Attorney General Ed Meese. And, of course, there were Nixon’s final two years in office, which featured the convictions of 48 government officials and the first presidential resignation over corruption.

All of these past scandals directly involved White House staff.

Karl Rove, Bush’s top political adviser, and Lewis Libby, a senior adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney, both were implicated in leaking Plame’s name to the press in retaliation for an op-ed that her husband, former Ambassador Joe Wilson, wrote that showed that the president had lied about Iraq’s pursuit of nuclear weapons in his 2003 State of the Union address. While Rove was not prosecuted, Libby was convicted of obstruction of justice. Bush later commuted the sentence.

The Clinton administration’s major scandal was related to the president’s own actions.

The Iran-Contra scandal consumed the entire national security arm of the Reagan administration. At least eight members of the administration were indicted, and there were multiple convictions, although some were later overturned due to jury tampering, and President George H.W. Bush pardoned others.

The 1972 Watergate scandal and ensuing revelations of campaign finance violations, cover-ups and retaliations destroyed the Nixon administration.

It’s not an accident that Obama’s presidency was largely scandal-free. His former ethics adviser, Norm Eisen, began to craft an ethics plan for the administration months before the 2008 election. When Obama won, Eisen began implementing these plans with other White House aides ― including Chris Lu, who served as assistant to the president and later as deputy secretary of labor, and the late Cassandra Butts. Obama himself got engaged in the planning, reportedly making line-edits to the guidelines, according to Eisen.

The plan required every Obama administration official and employee to sign anethics pledge that included bans on accepting certain gifts and revolving-door rules that barred former staffers from lobbying the administration until Obama’s term ended. Officials leaving for other lines of work were banned from contacting their former agency for two years.

The administration also adopted a loose ban on registered lobbyists entering the administration. Not all of these commitments stuck. Obama granted waivers that allowed some lobbyists to be appointed to government positions. And lawyers who represented banks or other industries, but were not registered as official lobbyists, moved freely from the private sector to the public sector and back again.

By no means did the Obama administration thwart the power of special interests and big money in Washington. But the administration did avoid major scandals, which Eisen attributed to the “tone at the top.”

“Everyone knows the president himself is a man of great integrity,” Eisen said. “He cares about this, he talks about it.”

And Trump hasn't even been sworn in yet.

really? ok, lets count all the dead associates surrounding Trump who died mysterious deaths and then do the same for Bill Clinton. Lets see how it adds up. Im gonna guess its a pretty lopsided balance sheet.

Its almost impossible to have a Democrat Scandal anyway. Don't you know most Journalism schools are liberal? They are trained how to write the news for Justice and the Democratic way, they come out of college hating Republicans, so tell me how are they going to write a scandle about a Dem? It only happens when its completely unavoidable.

From the Huffington post, because they don't consider anything that has happened in the Obama administration a scandal.

1. Benghazi isn't a scandal.
2. Hillary's emails aren't a scandal.
3. Fast and Furious isn't a scandal.
4. Obama's illegal executive orders aren't a scandal
5. Eric Holder held in contempt of Congress isn't a scandal.
6. Obamacare isn't a scandal
7. Spying on journalists isn't a scandal.
8. The IRS treatment of conservative 501-3c groups isn't a scandal.
9. NSA spying in Americans isn't a scandal
10. The Iran Nuclear deal isn't a scandal.
11. EPA polluting the Colorado river isn't a scandal.
12. The VA death list isn't a scandal.
13. Solyndra isn't a scandal.
14. Preventing war veterans from visiting memorials during the shutdown wasn't a scandal.

Shhhhh.. You're harshing the tone in the Safe Place. Why are you so mean and angry? Reciting fables and writing alternative endings is what these folks are good at.. It's healthier than when Repubs lose. They just don't even bother to look back at their messes. And they keep all those "feelings" all welled up inside and repeat the same mistakes the next time.

It is hard to trump the scandal that was even too big for Trump to do all by himself, getting elected by Russian dirty tricks and an FBI led by a Republican.
Week after week and month after month the one scandal is that Trump is to be United States President. There will be more to worry about than constant scandal. There will be blood.

Trump won the election fair and square. Russia had nothing to do with it.

"Gee, I don't know how Trump won. We ran a woman under FBI investigation with a truck load of scandal who erased her server after being subpoenaed by the US Congress who she also lied to under oath. How could she have lost? I know, it must be Russia!"
