Top 20 Obama scandals: The list

 

With three-and-a-half years of Obama's second term remaining, there is no  telling how many more scandals will erupt.

However, it's important to  note that many of these are not "scandals" in the typical sense, but rather the  machinations of an imperial president who seeks to "rule" over his "subjects,"  without their consent.

Don't expect Obama to suddenly grow a conscience  and constrain himself, meaning this list is destined to grow larger.
 

1. IRS targets Obama's enemies: The IRS targeted conservative and  pro-Israel groups prior to the 2012 election. Questions are being raised about  why this occurred, who ordered it, whether there was any White House involvement  and whether there was an initial effort to hide who knew about the targeting and  when.

2. Benghazi: This is  actually three scandals in one: The failure of administration to protect the  Benghazi mission; the changes made to the talking points in order to suggest the  attack was motivated by an anti-Muslim video; and the refusal of the White House  to say what President Obama did the night of the attack.

3. Keeping an eye on The Associated  Press: The Justice Department performed a massive cull of Associated  Press reporters' phone records as part of a leak investigation.
4

.  Rosengate: The Justice Department suggested that Fox News reporter  James Rosen is a criminal for reporting about classified information and  subsequently monitored his phones and emails.

5. Potential Holder  perjury I: Attorney General Eric Holder told Congress he had never been  associated with "potential prosecution" of a journalist for perjury when in fact  he signed the affidavit that termed Rosen a potential criminal.

6. The  ATF "Fast and  Furious" scheme: Federal agencies allowed weapons from U.S. gun dealers  to "walk" across the border into the hands of Mexican drug dealers. The ATF  summarily lost track of scores of those weapons, many of which were used in  crimes, including the December 2010 killing of Border Patrol Agent Brian  Terry.

7. Potential Holder perjury II: Holder told Congress in May  2011 that he had just recently heard about the Fast and Furious gun walking  scheme when there is evidence he may have known much earlier.
 

8. Sebelius demands payment: HHS  Secretary Kathleen Sebelius solicited donations from companies HHS might  regulate. The money would be used to help her sign up uninsured Americans for  Obamacare.

9. The Pigford scandal: An Agriculture Department  effort that started as an attempt to compensate black farmers who had been  discriminated against by the agency but evolved into a gravy train delivering  several billion dollars in cash to thousands of additional minority and female  farmers who probably didn't face discrimination.

10. GSA gone  wild: The General Services Administration in 2010 held an $823,000  training conference in Las Vegas, featuring a clown and a mind readers. Resulted  in the resignation of the GSA administrator.

11. Veterans Affairs in  Disney World: The agency wasted more than $6 million on two conferences in  Orlando. An assistant secretary was fired.

12. Sebelius violates the  Hatch Act: A U.S. special counsel determined that Sebelius violated the  Hatch Act when she made "extemporaneous partisan remarks" during a speech in her  official capacity last year. During the remarks, Sebelius called for the  election of the Democratic candidate for governor of North  Carolina.

13. Solyndra: Republicans charged the Obama  Administration funded and promoted its poster boy for green energy despite  warning signs the company was headed for bankruptcy. The administration also  allegedly pressed Solyndra to delay layoff announcements until after the 2010  midterm elections.

14. AKA Lisa Jackson: Former EPA Administrator  Lisa Jackson used the name "Richard Windsor" when corresponding by email with  other government officials, drawing charges she was trying to evade  scrutiny.
 

15. The New Black Panthers: The Justice Department was accused of using a  racial double standard in failing to pursue a voter intimidation case against  Black Panthers who appeared to be menacing voters at a polling place in 2008 in  Philadelphia.

16. Waging war all by myself: Obama may have  violated the Constitution and both the letter and the spirit of the War Powers  Resolution by attacking Libya without Congressional approval.

17.  Biden bullies the press: Vice President Biden's office has repeatedly  interfered with coverage, including forcing a reporter to wait in a closet,  making a reporter delete photos, and editing pool reports.

18. AKPD  not A-OK: The administration paid millions to the former firm of then-White  House adviser David Axelrod, AKPD Message and Media, to promote passage of  Obamacare. Some questioned whether the firm was hired to help pay Axelrod $2  million AKPD owed him.

19. Sestak, we'll take care of you: Former  White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel used Bill Clinton as an intermediary to  probe whether former Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) would accept a prominent, unpaid  White House advisory position in exchange for dropping out of the 2010 primary  against former Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.).

20. I'll pass my own  laws: Obama has repeatedly been accused of making end runs around Congress  by deciding which laws to enforce, including the decision not to deport illegal  immigrants who may have been allowed to stay in the United States had Congress  passed the "Dream Act."

I anxiously await what manufactured scandal Republicans come up with next. In the end it always just leaves them with mud on their face.

 

I hope that its a really juicy one next. Invictus has already trotted out the secret gay life of President Obama...don't think that one will get much traction though. Invictus you are going to have to put your tinfoil hat back on and come up with something better. 

 

The Republicans won't touch the NSA scandal. They are neck deep in it and as bad as they want to use it against the President they can't figure out a way to lay it on him without revealing how they were the ones that put these policies in place and passed the laws and amended the FISA to give the NSA the power to do what they are doing now. Its as if the one truly good scandal is off limits to them and it must be killing them inside. LOL

 

I hope they decide to go for it. Many Democrats in congress have been waiting for a reason to get rid of the Patriot Act and the secret judicial panel that FISA put in place to hide what the NSA was up to.  I don't care if President Obama goes down with it as long as the mess is cleaned up. Republicans are too afraid of exposing themselves to actually push that one. Bunch of hacks! 

There are no scandals jobe  other than a few in the minds of pubs that they suck on by themselves.

Do you just blindly follow your own lies as being real? Look around you son you are living in the uneducated state of Alabama led by idiots. You guys are pitiful. You lost the election. Obama is POTUS not Romney and Ryan. God spoke out against you religious fanatics.

Seriously quail.  How many times have you been told to stop drinking the Kool-Aid?!?  You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME if you think this POTUS is what we and/or our country need!!!  He is a weapon of mass destruction all by himself.  And as far as your little comment about the uneducated state of Alabama... perhaps you should look in the mirror.  Just exactly how stupid do you have to be to think the way this country is being ran (or should I say "lack of") is good?  Also, did you mother not ever tell you that you really haven't won if you have to cheat to do it?  Nuff said.  Execpt that you are right about God spoke because we are definitely living in end times.  I believe I heard someone say the other day that the United States is not mentioned in the book of Revelation, and the way things are going, there will definitely not be a United States.  God help us all!
