Let's Play "Rank the Scandals" (NEW AND IMPROVED WITH POLL!)

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

why isn't droning citizens in the poll yet?

What is this a reference to?


Also the IRS lady losing all her emails 10 days after Congress began to make inquiries into targeting is unbelievable and likely criminal. Together with the perverse abuse of power and her McGuire-esque use of the 5th, that's awfully scandalous.

Yes, that should definitely be investigated.

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.

Why does our federal government have a private equity arm? Seems reckless and irresponsible

Can the fact that we can't get any astronauts into orbit be blamed on Obama?  'Cause that should be at the top of any scandal poll ever.

Yeah, I don't even know if that is an obama thing or not, but it's way (way) worse than anything listed in this thread.

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.

rough ridin' obama

Is his workout filmed in that hotel gym a scandal?

[Rage Against the McKee]

"March Madness Brackets" belongs on this poll.

[sonofdaxjones]

It's time.

The Obama Administration:  We're pretty much not responsible for anything.

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. GWU Law Professor and Obama Supporter Jonathon Turley agrees. http://dailycaller.com/2014/06/25/liberal-law-professor-jonathan-turley-thinks-congress-could-win-their-new-lawsuit-against-obama/

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.

When you get the bracket put together, make sure to send a copy to Obama so he can fill it out.

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.

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?”

I believe Obama assured us there was "not a smidgeon" of corruption at the IRS...
