Title: Let's Play "Rank the Scandals" (NEW AND IMPROVED WITH POLL!)
Post by: K-S-U-Wildcats! on June 17, 2014, 08:22:25 PM
This is not a comprehensive list - I'm sure I'm overlooking some and there are going to be more - but for now, how would you rank...

1. IRS Thuggery (and the rampant wave of "computer crashes" now being claimed by the thugs)
2. The Bergdahl Blue Light Gitmo Clearance Five-for-One Special
3. The VA's helpful preview of socialized medicine in a nation of 350 million people
4. Coaching Ambassador Rice to lie about Benghazi, Obama lying about Benghazi, Clinton lying about Benghazi, etc.
5. Closing open air monuments and scenic overlooks during the "shutdown"
6. Operation "Let's Give a crap Ton of Guns to Mexican Drug Cartels"
7. Rushing to fork over 750mil to $olyndra so Biden could have a photo-op
8. Border? What Border? Come on in! Send Your Kids!
9. Judging American citizens from 40,000 feet (or however high drones fly)
10. Bribing senators for votes to shove Obamacare down our throats

Dax you'll get my comments here, but I think the radical right is projecting a crap load to the left.  And many so called "libtards" aren't bought off, but rather recognize this is consistent with the American presidency for decades.  In fact many "libtards" laugh not because we are defending Obama, but because of the blatant and extreme amounts of hypocrisy from the right on the radical on this presidency. 

At least Obama didn't commit treason to sell arms to AQ and make a host of people take the fall like a certain demigod for the right.  ;)

These "others" are immaterial to the discussion.

I don't know who this demigod is; I mean, if we're going the "at least" route, the last three Democratic administrations have been experts at getting arms into the hands of radicalized elements, so, okay, I guess. 

The overthrow by Q in Libya, may go down as one of the most puzzling and weirdest military/intelligence operations in the post WWII era.  That's really saying something isn't it?   I mean gosh, it was almost like this administration wanted another AQ safe haven.   Good Mediterranean launching base for the recruitment and arming of "freedom fighters" I suppose.

To me, these scandals seem worse than GWB's "scandals." What were those again? I remember the flap about firing USAGs, but that didn't seem like much of a scandal because AGs are political appointments. There was the Dubai Ports deal, but that seems more stupid and tonedeaf than scandal. There was the "Bush lied about WMD" meme, but he didn't lie - he relied upon the same intelligence that Clinton and many others cited to claiming Sadam had WMD. There was the Katrina incompetence, but that seemed to be more on a local level. What were the scandals?

Edit: Oh yeah, there was the Abu Ghraib thing. I guess that counts. Nothing linked it directly to the administration, but fair is fair.

The New York Times ran 47 front page stories on Abu Ghraib
- including 32 days in a row on the front page.

They buried the story of the investigation that cited the GI's were not following orders.

And now compare that to the NYT's "coverage" of any of Obama's scandals, most of which are significantly worse than Abu Ghraib and have direct ties to the administration. The NYT is the vanguard of the MSM.

Just a stunning and pathetic list of misconduct. The self proclaimed "open minded" remain willfully ignorant and silent, as you would expect from indoctrinated morons.

I just wonder how much money Democratic operatives had to pay the Stevens family to buy their silence.   Knowing that the administration told the tallest of tale tales as to why their father/husband etc. died.   Particularly knowing that the administration then took a completely flippant and dismissive attitude about the death of a U.S. Ambassador in subsequent months.  Wow, just wow.

CIA arms smuggling and Al Queda recruitment requires extreme measures.

Never said you used it, but that the radical right did (I thought we agreed you weren't radical right?  :gocho:)  the point is that Obama is just like every other President for the past 50 years.
and the demigod would be Reagan
when do we begin expecting more from our leaders?

To me, these scandals seem worse than GWB's "scandals." What were those again? I remember the flap about firing USAGs, but that didn't seem like much of a scandal because AGs are political appointments. There was the Dubai Ports deal, but that seems more stupid and tonedeaf than scandal. There was the "Bush lied about WMD" meme, but he didn't lie - he relied upon the same intelligence that Clinton and many others cited to claiming Sadam had WMD. There was the Katrina incompetence, but that seemed to be more on a local level. What were the scandals?

Edit: Oh yeah, there was the Abu Ghraib thing. I guess that counts. Nothing linked it directly to the administration, but fair is fair.

Scooter Libby and haliburton and dick Cheney shooting someone in the face did actually happen just FYI

Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John "For then Against" Kerry standing right on the sidelines with the pom-poms cheering the whole way into Baghdad.

The current administration has destroyed Libya turning it into a rogue rudderless former state . . . but that's okay because the U.S. only put JSOC on the ground calling in the F-15E strikes and the drones.

The current administration has tried it's damnedest to turn Syria from what is already a humanitarian catastrophe into a complete bloodbath . . . but that's okay, no boots (albeit John Kerry and McCain tried really hard).

The VA thing is rough ridin' despicable and frightening.

The IRS thing keeps getting more and more fishy, and is a disgusting abuse of power.

None of this is funny, it's all sad and pathetic.  Whoever gets stuck taking over for this administration has a colossal crap show of a mess to clean up. Obama is the worst president imaginable.

Huh, I guess I haven't heard about people with private insurance being forced to wait 4 or 5 months just for an initial primary care appointment. I'm talking about people with real insurance - not shitty Obamacare policies that fewer and fewer doctors will accept. That's kind of the point.

Try calling a primary care physician you haven't seen before and see how soon they can get you in. 4 or 5 months seems pretty normal.

I think you may be thinking of Canada. That's not normal at all in the U.S. I believe the average was about 18 days that last time it was broadly surveyed.

No, it was not "just a bad investment." It was (1) a $750 million, (2) ideologically motivated investment (3) without adequate due diligence because the administration was on a tight timeline for a photo op. That's a scandal. Put down the koolaid.

The transformation of our once great space program into a bunch of global warmist navel gazers is indeed a travesty, but it's been happening for decades and it is not an "Obama scandal." I seem to be sticking up for Our Dear Weakling a lot in this thread, but I'm trying to keep it focused on the true corruption, criminal neglect, and lawlessness.

I can't believe I forgot one of the biggest scandals of all - Obama basically wiping his ass with the Constitution by rewriting (Obamacare) and ignoring (immigration) laws as he sees fit.

Maybe it is time for a bracket. I need at least 16. Though I still think IRS is the clear favorite. Why? Because its the rough ridin' IRS. It's hypocrisy, corruption, and thuggery all rolled into one.

Pro Tip - if you're worried that your e-mails are going to be subject to discovery, it's always a best practice to send e-mails explaining that you're worried your e-mails will be subject to discovery.

Quote
Former IRS official Lois Lerner said she warned her colleagues to be careful about what they write in emails amid congressional inquiries, according to new emails released by House Oversight Republicans.
 
She also asked whether the IRS’s internal messaging system could be searched, in the same email to an IRS colleague. It was sent April 9, 2013, less than two weeks after the IRS inspector general that unearthed the tea party targeting practice shared a draft report with the agency.
 
“I was cautioning folks about email and how we have had several occasions where Congress has asked for emails and there has been an electronic search for responsive emails — so we need to be cautious about what we say in emails,” she wrote to Maria Hooke, the director of business systems planning for the tax-exempt division. “Someone asked if OCS conversations were also searchable — I don’t know. … Do you know?”
