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

[Katpappy]

8. Border? What Border? Come on it! Send Your Kids!

Katdaddy, NO!

Katdaddy don't play that, homie!

Never said you used it, but that the radical right did (I thought we agreed you weren't radical right?  )  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.

You are a rough ridin' idiot!  GWB killed thousands of the USA finest young men, for what, rough ridin' big oil.  Put that in your pipe and smoke it.  Those fuckers admitted it to congress, but wouldn't you know it; the rough ridin' media didn't show it.

Made me really doubt the diabolical conspiracy capabilities of our gov. Why didn't they plant fake WMDs?

It was the Bush administration.

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).

Running guns into Mexico has to be #1. Clearly a false flag to "take the guns" domestically but Barry got caught with his pants down.

[Cire]

Bff with domestic terrorists

droning american citizens without a trial is big deal. why don't republicans consider that a scandal?

Yeah, this one is pretty bad. Can we throw it on the big board, ksuw?

Yeah, I'll add this and one other to the list for an even ten.

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

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.

People literally died waiting for medical treatment.  Disgusting

Agree. Great argument against for profit insurance companies too.

The things I keep hearing about the VA really don't sound much different than privatized medicine to me.

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.

These could very well be the two most ignorant posts in pit history, and I'm well aware of the gravity of such a statement.

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.

why isn't droning citizens in the poll yet?

wholesale spying on american citizens without a warrant is big deal. why don't republicans consider that a scandal?

oh right because they ramped it up before obama made it cool. so hipster, wow.

I don't consider the NSA snooping thing an "Obama scandal." That was, and is, going to happen no matter who's in the WH.

I would call it a Bush scandal and an Obama scandal. If the next president does it, it's his/her scandal, too.

Yep, no "scandals" under Bush.
