Please List All the Scandals in President Obama's Administration

[Fulltimer]

I admit I was unable to participate in many discussions for several years President Obama was in office so I must have missed a lot of news about his "corrupt" Administration.

So give me a hand and let's discuss the myriad violations now so I will be up to date.

He was supposed to "Take all our Gunz" but he did fail in that.

He was supposed to invade Texas with those US Military soldiers during his failed "Jade Helm" and detain all firearm owners in the basements of those Walmarts. He seems to have failed in that as well even though the hundreds of thousands of US Military that were already there didn't have to invade at all.

The Individual Mandate under the Affordable Health Care law was repealed by President Trump but as far as I can see the meat of the Health Care Act is still in place.

Benghazi... When the Republican Congress cut the funding for the State Department security and the facility was attacked the budget cuts were never discussed.

So, how much more have I missed?

Really you really mean this right

Really you really mean this right

Yes, I do. The Obama Administration keeps being brought up and I was banned during most of that time so I may not have all the facts.

Please indulge an old man and bring me up to date.

[Wannabe]

Yes, I do. The Obama Administration keeps being brought up and I was banned during most of that time so I may not have all the facts.

Please indulge an old man and bring me up to date.

So while you were gone you were in a padded cell and heard no news at all? Sounds like a Trap (read Crap) Shoot. Someone throws something up and you shoot it down. What a useless endeavor.

[Mike]

[Fulltimer]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

You guys safely insulated in your echo chamber cannot remember why you were supposed to hate the guy so much.

Even in the Benghazi incident, if only the GOP congress had spent as much on the State Department security that was requested, as on the investigations trying to deflect the blame... Sad.

Ask and you shall receive

Should I start with number 1 and go through the whole list?

[Dork]

Should I start with number 1 and go through the whole list?

Why, we know you will just make excuses.....

[Fulltimer]

OK, I have finished and have found no scandals on that list. Nothing illegal and no one charged with a crime. No one sexually involved with someone they shouldn't be.

There are some strange entries on there though.

4. I suppose that being on the list means the person taking offense thinks Americans being killed is optimal.
15. They didn't build that. The taxpayers built it for them. Duh
54."
55."
56."
57."
58. Really guys Trump's 14 trips to mar a largo, 95 days on the golf course. Just in the 1st 9 months Trump has spent $147 million on personal travel 1 1/2 times as much as Obama and his family in 8 years.
67. President Trump's 1st year budget deficit is $666 Billion an increase of $80 Billion over President Obama's last year.
All of the budget and military funding is not under the purview of the Executive but as the Constitution states the duty of the House of representatives who are a majority of GOP.

All of the Healthcare complaints are things that the GOP controlling both houses in Congress, the Presidency, and the SCOTUS have not been able to improve upon. So it must be pretty good.

Immigration and Amnesty.

More people were deported during Obama's administration than all the other presidents in history. Deportations the first year of Trump's administration has lagged behind the last year of Obama's.
Amnesty? The last President that declared an amnesty was Ronald Reagan. The last President that proposed an amnesty is Donald Trump.

Obama's Executive Actions? President Obama issued fewer EO's per year than any President since Grover Cleveland. Obama issued a total of 276 well behind GW Bush in their respective 8 years. President Trump in his 1st year has issued 64 EOs well on his way to overtaking Ike's who averaged 60 per year.

The number of people not working is a particular insult to me and everyone else who worked all their lives and are now considered "unemployed" I am not going back to work.

Overall that list is a lot of policy things you don't like but pretty much out of the hands of the President whether he be Barack Obama or Donald Trump.

So let's see some scandals.

Yep same old song and dance. Retired, has google and a large stir spoon and will argue with a brick wall about the stupidest of details. Best way is to use the ignore button.

[Fulltimer]

Wacojoe listed actual scandals in another thread.

Combining those with these I come up with:

IRS targeted the tax-exempt status of Ultra Conservative groups and three IRS managers were fired.
FBI's sting that went sideways Fast and Furious.
The flaws in the Affordable Health Care Act.
State Department Failure to adequately protect facility in Benghazi attack.
Obama did say in the campaign that no family making under $250,000 would have a tax increase. While it was true for income tax there were other taxes that did go up.
The unacceptable conditions at some VA facilities. Obama was not able to correct them and so far President Trump has not either but it is still a scandal.

Those were scandals under the 8 years of Obama's administration.

All the healthcare issues were products of the ACA and while the GOP did try 70 times since the act was voted into law to repeal it they always failed. They never attempted to fix the obvious problems with it and finally were able to put their mark on it by repealing the part that required everyone to carry insurance. So now we have Trumpcare but still, we have problems with health insurance in America.

The Syria situation was exacerbated by President Obama's insistence that Congress pass a declaration of war before he committed troops.

The deficits and national debt problems Obama had if compared to this administration pale in significance. Obama inherited an economy on the verge of collapse and brought it back up. President Trump has inherited a growing and expanding economy and time will tell if his programs will hinder or hurt. By looking at the Clinton economy and what happened to it under Bush, the outlook is not so good.

TxMusky, if you wish to place me on IGNORE that is your prerogative. I will miss your input, (you are the most prolific responder to my posts and force me to work to respond to them) but if I make you uncomfortable, that would probably be for the best.
