Obama Brags About Being The Perfect President In Speech And Mocks Trump, Immediately Regrets
It.
Former President Barack Obama appears to be bragging about being the perfect president
as a way to mock Trump and he might be immediately regretting that decision after social media
had their way with it.
It was Obama himself who made the audacious claim, boastfully proclaiming to one and all
about his "scandal-free administration."
While speaking at a technology conference in Las Vegas, Obama made the claim regarding
his eight years in office, Newsweek reports.
He states: "I didn't have scandals, which seems like it shouldn't be something you
brag about.
But actually, if you look at the history of the modern presidency, coming out of the modern
presidency without anybody going to jail is really good.
It's a big deal."
Obama then went on to suggest there were fewer scandals within his administration because
he was lenient with anyone who messed up but did not do so out of "malicious intent."
"No one in my White House ever got in trouble for screwing up as long there wasn't malicious
intent behind it," Obama said.
The mocking in response to Obama's ridiculous and easily disprovable claims has been swift
with people taking to social media in droves to list his scandals by the dozens.
There are many to choose from.
David Limbaugh chronicles just a short list of examples and the list is by no means exhaustive
by any stretch chronicles some of the highlights of Obama's two disgraceful terms in office:
Benghazi: In addition to the scandalous betrayal and d***h of our people, Obama and his cohorts
concocted and disseminated the lie that the attack on our consulate was caused by an anti-Muslim
video.
Later, Judicial Watch obtained a smoking-g*n email from top-level Obama aid Ben Rhodes,
sent to a dozen members of Obama's inner circle, that contained talking points to prepare
then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice for the Sunday talk shows.
Three of the four main bullet points Rhodes was advising Rice to convey were patently
false, including the lie about the video.
They knew, because the CIA made it clear, that the attack was not the result of a spontaneous
protest to an anti-Muslim video but preplanned by al-Qaida.
The Obama administration manufactured this canard to insulate Obama from criticism two
months before the November 2012 election, as he had boasted that he had al-Qaida on
the run.
Obama's IRS conspired to target conservative and pro-Israel groups for discriminatory treatment
in acquiring tax exemptions.
Obama and then-Attorney general Eric Holder's Justice Department was never held to account
for its actions on the gunrunning scandal known as Operation Fast and Furious, in which
an American was murdered with weapons this administration deliberately put into the hands
of Mexican cartels.
This same Justice Department was also under a cloud due to scandals involving its massive
culling of Associated Press reporters' phone records concerning a leak investigation, slandering
Fox News reporter James Rosen over classified information, and monitoring Rosen's phone
calls and emails.
Obama's lies on Obamacare were legion and scandalous: He knew from the jump we couldn't
keep our plans or our doctors, and that Obamacare would reduce rather than increase people's
access to care.
He knew it wouldn't reduce premiums by $2,500 for the average family of four.
He deceived us when he said no federal dollars would be used to fund abortions.
He grossly distorted the picture of the true number of uninsured.
His goal, proved on videotape, was always single-payer.
He used budgetary accounting gimmicks to grease Obamacare by the CBO, including the double
counting on Medicare.
After Obama's failure to pass cap-and-trade legislation through Congress to purportedly
reduce the global temperature by suppressing traditional energy production and consumption,
his Environmental Protection Agency unilaterally and unconstitutionally issued a decree to
accomplish his goal administratively.
Some called this one of the biggest power grabs in American history, as the EPA had
positioned itself to regulate fuel economy, set climate policy for the nation and amend
the Clean Air Act — powers never delegated to it by Congress.
The Obama administration flagrantly defied a federal court order on his moratorium on
offshore drilling when his interior secretary, Ken Salazar, said he would just reimpose the
moratorium based on information that wasn't fully developed earlier.
Obama rigged the playing field to secure for his labor-union friends a bigger stake in
his new General Motors than was warranted by their actual ownership interest.
He robbed secured creditors of their preferred-creditor status and the value of their investment by
using the power of his office to strong-arm a restructuring of the company.
When Democratic Party donor and super-lawyer Tom Lauria opposed this plan on behalf of
his client, according to Lauria, the White House threatened to destroy his client's
reputation.
The Obama-Hillary Clinton FISA scandal, the egregiousness of which is being casually dismissed
by many, will someday be fully exposed.
Then, there's the Iran nuclear deal, Obama's unprecedented federal land grabs; his dismissal
of a voter-intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party that had already been
won; his bullying of doctors and insurance companies when it served his purposes; his
endless stirring of the racial pot; his bullying and fact-starved attack on BP that culminated
in his authoritarian command, "Just plug the damn hole"; his stable of unaccountable
"czars"; his war on Fox News, which preceded Trump's battles with the press that Democrats
find so horrifying; the Department of Veterans Affairs scandal; the Solyndra scandal; the
deliberate targeting of the coal industry; the shakedown of banks; the massive redistribution
scheme disguised as an economic stimulus program; the federal commandeering of the student loan
program; his public dressing down of the Supreme Court; his whispered hot-mic pledge to Russia
to be more flexible on missile defense; his cavalier treatment of Arizona and its immigration
laws; and gobs more.
The Wall Street Journal decried this myth of the so-called "scandal-free administration"
and spoke up against Obama's claims stating that it is worthy to note "all of these
scandals were accompanied by a lack of transparency so severe that 47 of Mr. Obama's 73 inspectors
general signed an open letter in 2014 decrying the administration's stonewalling of their
investigations."
