In 2 Terms, Barack Obama Had Fewer Scandals Than Donald Trump Has Had In The Last 2 Weeks

[tecelote]

WASHINGTON ― Scandal has consumed the final four years of every two-term president in modern history ― George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon. Barack Obama’s administration is the exception.

While there were some minor scandals and resignations during Obama’s eight years in office, wrongdoing never fully occupied his presidency. None of it even directly touched the White House. There were no grand juries investigating his aides. There were no impeachments. There were neither convictions of White House staffers, nor pardons to protect government officials.

This was a significant departure from the previous four two-term presidents. George W. Bush’s second term featured convictions related to the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal, in which more than a dozen lobbyists and government officials went to jail for corruption. There were also convictions related to the politically motivated purge of U.S. attorneys and the retaliatory leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame’s identity.

But, but, but.....Obama couldn't have been a good President...he's, he's...black! Don't you know, white equals good...that's why tRUMP is going to be a great President! Black equals bad, so there's no way that President Obama could have been considered a good President!!

7. There's a big difference between the two ---

Pres. Obama is a classy gentleman.

Trump is neither.

8. I would love to see someone focused just on bringing up all the

scandals that crop up under Trump and make a weekly award on the worse scandal for that week.

Keep the fire lit under him while embarrassing him at the same time. Keep the focuse of the people on just how bad this administration will be for the US.
