Nine of them he didn’t mention.
They’re only not scandals because the media was in the tank for him (as well as her) and refused to properly report them. As Iowahawk once tweeted, the purpose of journalism is to cover stories. With a pillow. Until they stop moving.
IRS: House investigators did not find a direct link from the White House to the IRS scandal.
VA: a real scandal with no White House link
GSA: no WH link
Benghazi: The committee issued its final report in July, which found no conclusive cover up by the administration.
Clinton Emails: no WH link
Fast and Furious: no link found to Holder, much less Obama
Solyndra Subsidies: no scandal
New Black Panther Party: no scandal
Sestak: no scandal
I’m surprised they left off Jade Helm and FEMA trailers and Michelle’s $200M trip to India….
I don’t know that there’s ever been a Congress that has worked so hard to pin scandals on an administration, with such meager results. It’s somehow fitting that the only Obama cabinet-level official to face criminal charges was a Republican who wasn’t targeted by Congress (Petreaus).
I find it hilarious that you mention sites like Info Wars in your comments these days. Today you mention Jade Helm and FEMA trailers, but you’ve explicitly mentioned Info Wars several times in the past.
Are the Wiki Leaks beginning to bother you? Is Alex Jones more right about Hillary than not?
Oh, and the Wiki Leaks documents clearly show a connection between Hillary’s emails and the White House.

And we found out Obama uses aliases and secret emails to conduct business with his agencies. What are the chances Obama’s IRS or DOJ looked for these aliases and secret emails when doing key word searches of IRS communications?
Considering the widespread use of secret emails and aliases at all levels of the Obama administration, its safe to assume that many of Obama’s staff used this practice too. None of them are ever looked for when the Obama administration investigates itself.
So your theory is that there’s some big scandal that’s been hidden from view for the last seven years by the clever use of email aliases?
You’re on a snipe hunt.
No comment Jim? Another “Snipe Hunt?”
Crickets chirp, the wind rustles the leaves in the trees.
Thanks for setting me straight Jim. With the across the board malfeasance I thought the current admin might be involved? That all the crimes benefit one party is so misleading. What would we do without you and the lying media?
Why would anyone think Obama has anything to do with those government agencies? Its not like he controls them.
Can always count on Jim to close his eyes to rampant systematic corruption and abuse of power. He is totally hypernormalized.
VA: a real scandal with no White House link
In Jim’s world, the White House has no responsibility for the VA despite its cabinet level position. It’s because Jim is an idiot.
GSA: no WH link
Again no WH responsibility for a Executive Branch department.
Clinton Emails: no WH link
Except there is, which is understandable. After all, either both Clinton and Obama have no clue how to use email, or they do. Clinton may have brain damage, but she’s not as stupid as Jim. Neither is Obama. So yeah, Obama emailed Hillary at her private address. And he lied about it just like he lied about Obamacare.
They other things Jim claims aren’t scandals are simply because Jim doesn’t care if Mexicans are killed by guns given to drug lords by the US government. He said this clearly. He also doesn’t care if Democrats pay back their donors with taxpayers cash; he’s admitted he would support Hillary despite such corruption. Things one supports is not a scandal.
At some point the adults have to step up and say, “While we admire the tenacity of your arguments it’s time for your punishment now and we’re going to take away your govt. toys for a while.”
The two types of punishment: 1) That which corrects bad behavior. 2) That which destroys and is simply evil.
In Jim’s world, the White House has no responsibility for the VA despite its cabinet level position.
Of course the White House has responsibility, but that’s different from complicity.
Time for Remedial Scandal 101: A real political scandal involves the perpetrator doing something clearly wrong and/or illegal, for a malign motive (e.g. financial gain or political advantage). Did Obama, or anyone in the White House, do anything wrong regarding VA waiting lists for some improper motive? No. The actual scandal was at lower levels, where VA staff falsified reports to avoid scrutiny.
IRS: wrongdoing but no improper motive, even at lower levels.
GSA: wrongdoing + motive, at lower levels
Benghazi: no wrongdoing except for incompetent security arrangements, no improper motive
Clinton email: carelessness shading into wrongdoing, but no improper motive
Fast and Furious: no wrongdoing other than incompetence, no motive, all of it at lower levels
Solyndra Subsidies: no wrongdoing
New Black Panther Party: no wrongdoing
Sestak: no wrongdoing
Scandal from the Oxford dictionary:
a state of affairs regarded as wrong or reprehensible and causing general public outrage or anger:
“it’s a scandal that many older patients are dismissed as untreatable”
Now I realize Obama and most Democrats were not outraged by the treatment of our veterans, so Jim, you don’t see the scandal. But the general public was outraged and angered by the VA scandal that you and Obama dismiss as never happened.
And yeah, that’s Oxford’s example used in a sentence. You failed 101 level course work Jim. That’s why I call you an idiot.
Now I realize Obama and most Democrats were not outraged by the treatment of our veterans, so Jim, you don’t see the scandal.
Reading comprehension tip: if I write “The actual scandal was at lower levels where VA staff falsified reports to avoid scrutiny,” that means I see the scandal.
IRS: wrongdoing but no improper motive, even at lower levels.
Are you insane?
Another snipe hunt?
The stench surrounding Hillary is so bad not even mainstream media can completely cover it up.
Moreover, leaked emails prove reporters and Wall Street executives are part of that stench.
Not to mention that Citigroup picked Obama’s cabinet.

That’s right, Jim. Obama’s cabinet picked by Citigroup. If that isn’t a scandal, nothing is. Why? Because your progressive do-gooder utopian is nothing more than a shill for the banks.
Oh, and it’s the New Republic, the voice of the prog party.

If that isn’t a scandal, nothing is. Why? Because your progressive do-gooder utopian is nothing more than a shill for the banks.
Sigh. “Politician listens to people others wish he wouldn’t listen to” is not a scandal. “Politician does something that would, if it came out, lead some people to like him less” is not a scandal. There’s no wrongdoing in this story, and certainly nothing criminal.
