Obama Scandals

I don't care how people vote, or who they support. I do care about correcting revisionist history.

Here's a brief summary of Obama's scandals (with links to more). This isn't meant as a balanced piece to show what good he's accomplished as a politicians or person (though I suspect that would be a much, much shorter article), if you want fawning puff pieces, read the NYT, HuffPo, watch CNN or MSNBC. This is meant to counter-balance to those that claim his administration was scandal free.

His Books
- his books authorship and lies about his history (both in the book and campaign)
Questionable friendships:
- Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Michael Pfleger goes to church of radicals for 20 years, never notices their extremism
- Emil Jones, Saul Alinsky, Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers, Rashid Khalidi, Frank Marshall Davis, Obama's illegal alien family members, porn star mom, marxist Dad, and so on.
Hs wife's payola
Questionable appointments:
- Lisa Jackson - EPA -
- Hillary Clinton - Secretary of State -
- Eric Holder -
Fast and Furious / Gunrwalking scandal / Gunrwalking scandal with a side of perjury and obstruction
- .This was where BATF under Holder was selling guns to Mexican drug cartels, failing to track them, and finally some Americans (including Brian Terry) were shot with them. They'd failed to track the guns -- and it was to go along with a narrative the administration had invented that Mexico's gun problems were because of the U.S., and this had been an effort to prove it (and justify a push for more gun control). Republicans wanted an investigation into how things could go this bad, and who ordered it? The most transparent administration ever blocked it, and Obama gave Holder "executive privilege" to obstruct the investigation and prevent the transparency he'd promised. When asked about this, they lied and said this was a follow on to a much smaller effort during the Bush administration (called Wide Receiver): but that was done without President or Cabinet involvement, and when it had similar problems in 2007, it had been shut down with the recommendation to never try anything this stupid again (which the Obama administration had ignored).
