The last eight years have been pretty bad. But as we prepare to wave good-bye and good riddance to one of America’s truly awful presidencies, there are some low points that stick out in the memory more than others.
Obama’s Iranian-born slumlord chief advisor Valerie Jarrett claims “The president prides himself on the fact that his administration hasn’t had a scandal and he hasn’t done something to embarrass himself.” Really? No scandals? Solyndra, the IRS targeting of conservative groups, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the Secret Service picking up hookers, his Secretary of Treasury who cheated on his taxes? These weren’t scandals.
I think she meant he isn’t ashamed of his scandals… because he has no capability to feel remorse. People who’ve been told they are flawless gods their entire lives tend to get that way.
And nothing to embarrass himself? So, he wasn’t embarrassed when he walked up to a window and tried to open it like a door? Or, when he and the Danish Prime Minister were yukking it up taking selfies at Nelson Mandela’s Memorial Service? Or when he tried to get a open umbrella through an archway? Or when he made that “workout video” flapping around with those little baby weights. Or, when he gifted Britain’s blind prime minister with a collection of DVD’s that were incompatible with British DVD players.
Again? Not embarrassed? Or simply incapable of feeling shame?
One more thing. Obama has been lecturing Hillary and the Democrats about how they lost by being too elite and out of touch (this from the guy who whined about the price of Arugula at Whole Foods back in ’08.) In his last press conference before departing on his annual lavish, taxpayer funded Hawaiian vacations, Obama lectured.
I became a U.S. Senator not just because I had a strong base in Chicago, but because I was driving downstate Illinois and going to fish fries and sitting in V.F.W. Halls and talking to farmers.
No, dirtbag. You only became a US Senator because a corrupt Chicago judge released your opponent’s sealed divorce record and the Chicago Democrat Machine hyped it into a scandal. Your entire political career is the fruit of a poisoned tree, and it shows. Were it not for 7 of 9’s divorce, we would have had Hillary Clinton as president. Which would also have been dreadful.
You will recall that Hillary Clinton is originally from Illinois. It occurs to me that if she had returned there after Bill left the presidency and waited until 2004 to run for the Senate instead of running in New York in 2000, that nomination would have been hers for the asking. She would have been elected president in 2008 and most of us would never have heard of Barack Obama. Take this for what it is worth, which is probably very little.
Obama was given the golden opportunity (and I would say: obligation) to prove that a black man can be as strong and as good a President as any white man who preceded him in the office. Instead, he never let a chance to race-bait go to waste. Beer summit – “If I had a son he would look like Trayvon.”; “The motivations of the shooter remind us that racism remains a blight that we have to combat together.”-Black racist Shannon J. Miles who, although unprovoked, went up to a white cop and father of two, Darren Goforth, and put bullets into the back of his head — while the officer was innocently filling his car with gas. Then, as the dead body of the white police officer laid on the ground, Miles emptied his weapon into the body, shooting him a total of 15 times. Obama remained totally silent. – “looks like me” – etc.
Divisive, dismissive, demonizing Rat. He set some blacks on edge, humiliated other blacks and cowardly took every advantage to throw a racist brick into the crowd. Why should anyone presume to trust any black activist ever again?
I wonder what, in Valerie Jarrett’s opinion, rises to the level of “scandal”?
Let’s face it, BHO was an affirmative-action hire. A white with similar CV and views would have remained a legislative back-bencher. It was Dingy Harry that noted BHO was able to speak “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”
BHO has none of the accomplishments of, say Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, or Condi Rice. I may not agree with some of Powell’s views but the man is accomplished. Ditto for Condi. I don’t think Ben Carson is POTUS material (nor am I) but he certainly has notable accomplishments and skills.

the Obama administration came into office lying and it is going out of office lying. communists don’t believe in the concept of truth.
When you get down to it, Muslims don’t believe in telling the truth either.
