If Obama Ever Had a Real Scandal. Could You Imagine?

What if the Obama Administration ever had a real scandal, like the Scooter Libby case? Where someone was really indicted for something truly terrible and sent to prison? Could you imagine the feeding frenzy by the Media? They would talk about it nonstop. I mean, if something that really affected the American people ever happened, like it didi constantly with Bush, we would really hear about then, I am sure.

He is a scandal.

Bush's biggest scandal was having an R after his name.

I'm sure the media would cover it as they have covered every other such scandal. The real spectacle would be the guys who have been calling for his impeachment since 2010 literally losing their fricking minds. It would be something special.

Um, the IRS and Benghazi scandals are real.
SOmebody could find a body in the West Wing and it would be on page A23 of the NYT.

Why didn't they result in any indictments? Clinton was impeached and he was one frickton more popular than Obama. Reagan had something like 12 members of his administration indicted or forced out of office (including cabinet level officials) and he was far more popular.
ETA: Obama's admin actually hates the media, and many top figures in media aren't known to be too fond of his White House.

You mean to say him bold facing lying to the American people over 25 times about Obamacare isn't real? Or Benghazi, the IRS, Obamacare rollout, the fact that he's only increased our debt or been unable to perform any task competently? There's something worthy of being called a real scandal every single week. His regime runs the media though so therefore the mass majority of people don't actually see things for what they are.
ETA: Also his complete disregard for the Constitution.

This is sarcasm, by the way.

They are afraid of big government. The FCC, Schumer talking about restricting media speech to only people the government classifies as professional media etc.
Big media companies are run by either big Obama supporters or multinational corporations with a shitload to lose if the government pursues them.

As soon as the independent prosecutor comes back with his investigation... oh wait.
Scooter Libby released info to destroy a political opponent. The IRS used their audit power to harm political opponents. You really can't see the parallel?

Uh, it was found that someone else released that info, might want to get the facts right, just saying.

Not to mention Fast and Furious.
The biggest scandals in the Bush Administration were Alberto Gonzales firing 8 US Attorneys (which was completely legal) and Scooter Libby getting convicted over revealing a spy who was no longer a spy. These things are child's play compared to what's happened under Obama.

Bush's term was more scandal filled than obama.
Most of the obama shite is made up right wing jackoffs. I don't like obama, but not much has been found in any of the scandals.
With that said, 2nd terms are usually when the scandals come out and I expect obama to be hit with a whopper at some point.

Maybe you missed the part about Holder having "wide discretion" (his words) over what he prosecutes.

So in your opinion none of these are scandals?

Kind of appears that you do

War Gate, Iran Contra and The IRS Scandal are the three biggest Presidential scandals of my lifetime. Two garnered wall-to-wall coverage. One has a virtual MSM blackout. Guess which one that is?

CBS and ABC presidents have siblings in the admin and I'm sure Jay Carney's wife hates him as well
