9 Controversies Obama Didn’t Mention When He Denied Any ‘Major Scandals’

From The Daily Signal.com (Oct. 24):

President Barack Obama discarded eight years of controversies surrounding his administration, including the targeting of conservative groups, veterans lacking health care, the administration’s response to a terrorist attack weeks before the 2012 election, and a botched gun sting.

During a Democratic fundraising event in San Diego Sunday, Obama attacked Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the former chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, for the various investigations into the administration.

“Here’s a guy who called my administration perhaps the most corrupt in history, despite the fact that actually, we have not had a major scandal in my administration,” Obama told Democratic donors.

………………….

Here’s a list of nine controversies that Obama didn’t mention at the Democratic fundraiser, but that nevertheless leave many unanswered questions.

1. IRS Targeting Scandal.
2. VA Waiting List.
3. GSA Spending Spree. In 2012, Martha N. Johnson, the administrator of the General Services Administration, resigned after the federal procurement agency was engulfed in a controversy. The department was accused of allowing excessive spending on travel and conferences for the agency and employees.
4. Attack on the Benghazi Compound.
5. Clinton Emails.
6. Fast and Furious Gun Walking.
7. Solyndra Subsidies.
8. DOJ and the New Black Panther Party. On Election Day 2008, hours before Obama was first elected, two members of the New Black Panther Party stood outside the door of a polling place in Philadelphia in paramilitary outfits. One of the men was carrying a nightstick. The two men were caught on video seemingly intimidating voters.
9. A Job for Sestak.

In 2010, Rep. Joe Sestak, who was challenging Sen. Arlen Specter in a Pennsylvania Democratic Senate primary, said that the Obama administration had offered him a job to dissuade him from entering the race.

Obama had endorsed Specter, who had recently switched allegiance from the Republican to the Democrat Party during the early months of Obama’s presidency. The White House did not answer questions on the matter for several months.

Yea, this is Obama’s legacy. He owns it. Whether he wants to or not. But he will not even think about these scandals because his narcissism won’t permit it. The press didn’t help anything by not doing their job and not reporting them. Or briefly reporting them.

Will these nine scandals get put in history books? Well, if Leftwing historians are writing the books probably not.
