Remember when President Barack Obama and senior adviser Valerie Jarrett claimed that their administration has been devoid of any scandals?

To see the remainder of the scandals, please head over to GRABIEN. I tried posting all of them here, but then my browser began to repeatedly crash …
Anyway.
As I indicated earlier, some of these “scandals” are clearly non-scandal scandals. That Obama once accidentally called France, versus Britain, America’s strongest and oldest ally does not concern me too much.
However, the underlying point is this: The claim that the president’s administration has been scandal-free is some straight-up FAKE NEWS!
