“I’m proud of the fact that basically you’ve had an administration that’s been in place for six years in which there hasn’t been a major scandal … and I think that says a lot about the ethical strictures of this administration.” – David Axelrod, former advisor to President Obama
Former Obama advisor David Axelrod told an audience at the University of Chicago that there haven’t been any major scandals in the Obama administration. (thefinancialist.com)
Those were the words of Axelrod during a session at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics. Click here if you want to hear it for yourself. It’s at the end of his misrepresentation of Obama’s no lobbyist policy. More shocking than his statements was the applause he received with his response. But the young lady who asked about lobbyists obviously knows the truth.
It makes you wonder how a scandal becomes one ranked as “major” in the Obama White House. We do remember the president’s reference to “not a ‘smidgen’ of corruption” in his 2014 Super Bowl interview with Fox’s Bill O’Reilly.
Let’s see … there was the Fast & Furious gun running scheme that got Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry killed. Attorney General Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress for withholding documents about this program … there was the spying on the Associated Press and the files of Fox’s James Rosen, again involving Holder … there was the IRS targeting of conservative groups and the mysterious lost files of Lois Lerner and her close associates … there were lies about shovel ready jobs and the wasteful “investments” in energy projects like Solyndra … there were the lies about ObamaCare regarding our ability to keep our doctor and our plans … there were the lies about the Benghazi attack in which our ambassador, a foreign service 
representative and two CIA operatives were killed … there was the Veterans Administration’s fake waiting lists; surely a scandal … there was the ill-advised exchange of five Guantanamo terrorists for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl and finally, his flagrant abuse of power, ignoring Congress and the Constitution regarding amnesty for illegals in the United States
Is it any wonder that President Obama refers to them as “phony scandals?” The people around him assure him they aren’t scandals … they’re merely fabrications of those crazy right wing extremists.
