This Gave Me a Laugh
“We didn’t have a scandal that embarrassed us,” he said. The former president admitted that his team made mistakes, but no massive screw-ups. He then said, “I know that seems like a low bar,” at which point the audience burst into laughter.
Apparently, Barack Obama gave a “secret” speech at a sports analytics conference at MIT. But he didn’t talk about sports analytics, he talked about himself and how great he is and other progressive bull. Pity the poor attendees at that sports analytics conference.
“We didn’t have a scandal that embarrassed us.” That is because it takes a sense of shame or humiliation to feel embarrassed, and this man has no shame or humility. In case you need a reminder of the scandals that he used to fundamentally transform America and that didn’t embarrass BHO, here is a short list:
- Benghazi
- Hillary’s private server
- Fast and Furious
- AG Holder being held in contempt of Congress
- Solyndra
- Delivering pallets of cash to Iran in the dead of the night
- Obamacare “You can keep your doctor”
- IRS targeting conservative groups
- Bowe Bergdahl
- Spying on journalists
- Unmasking/spying on political opponents
The Obama era brought scandals so much worse than Watergate, “-gate” is going to have to be retired. We need a replacement. Something like “-clinton” or “-obama.”
True. I heard some very good explanations of this.
I presume people still know what it means to “pull a Clinton.”
