WTF is Obamagate?

That pretty well sums it up. As Thudlow Boink quotes:
Asked by a Washington Post reporter for the second time to name Obama’s exact offence, Trump replied cryptically: “You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody. All you have to do is read the newspapers, except yours.”
Dear Leader will let Hannity and his fellow traitors take the lead in throwing out garbage and seeing what sticks to the minds of American morons. (Recall that that’s how The Wall obsession started — Trump thought it a stupid idea until he noticed how much support it had from moronic Trumpettes.)

I clicked but lacked your tolerance for pain. After just three “scandals” the hypocrisy of treasonous FoxNews was too much for me, and I clicked X.

What you won’t hear are the real reasons that the 38% hate Obama:
. . “His wife looks like a gorilla.”
. . “His daughters dress like trashy urban sluts.”
. . “He pretends to be half-white.”

But that means you missed didn’t-wear-a-jacket-in-the-Oval-Officegate! And Bike Helmetgate! And lattegate!

Strong man Putin doesn’t wear a bike helmet. He doesn’t even wear a shirt, and rides a manly horse, not a bicycle. Obama humiliated America with that bike helmet.

hmmm. this raises the interesting question: why haven’t we heard the word Benghazi recently?
there’s so much potential…

How about some explosive headlines:
“How much did Biden know about Benghazi?”–Fox experts investigate!!!
“Biden denies visiting Benghazi–this expert explains why”
“the next Benghazi—expert explains how will Biden fail to react decisively”
"could Benghazi happen again?–our military panel discusses how Biden wants to deny new weapons to the army.
“Wounded vet hero in VA hospital* claims he saw Biden in Benghazi!!!”

(*psychiatric ward)

I think we really haven’t spent enough resources investigating “Dijon-Gate”. And what about “Selfie-Gate”. And come on, are we really expected to believe that he actually made that three point shot without a Marine concealed in the rafters dropping the ball in the hoop? The breadth and depth of scandals in the Obama Administration knows no bounds. They’ve even gone back and Photoshopped pictures of the Greater Deity Ronald Reagan to justify their malfeasance. Literally unbelievable!

“No president has ever done anything worse.”

Stranger

Excellent post. Totally agree.

I’m sure guessing is fun, but it only serves the conservative agenda to have people list perceived failures and missteps of the Obama administration (and it reminds them what those were). I think it’s best not to speculate at all and to require anyone speaking seriously about Obamagate to say exactly what they mean.

No love for Feet-on-the-Deskgate?

Is it not entirely obvious? He walks funny.

Oh yeah? Were you not paying attention? He has been claiming all along that he won in a popular vote landslide that was all messed up so that it only looked like Hitlary got more votes, because, illegals. Which, of course, was whose fault?

Oh, far, far worse than that. He was elected while black.

It’s yet another Republican Right smear campaign designed to destroy the reputation of someone who is totally superior to their own candidate in every single way possible.

Terrorist fist jab.

Uh, middle name is “Hussein”. All right-minded Americans all know you don’t get a name like that unless you hate America.

Well you can’t spell ObaMAGAte without MAGA.

And we must never forget Latte Salutegate, which scandalized the presidency AND the military, and led Obama’s detractors and concern trolls alike to opine that he may (or may not, let’s be fair!) have done it intentionally to insult the troops.

For a more serious list:
The IRS targeting controversy
Obama-administration school regulations led to widespread violence in Minnesota schools
ATF gunwalking scandal
Black Panther intimidation case
Veterans Health administration scandal
Project Cassandraalongside of the IRS, the Federal Elections Commission also targeted specific groups
EPA employees earned overtime without the required waivers
Numerous civilian casualties in Pakistan from Obama-administration drone strikes
classified information about the bin Laden raid was leaked
ATF used mentally handicapped teens to run stings
Benghazi - note that the belief that Obama or Hillary deliberately withheld aid or wanted ambassador Stevens to die is absolute nonsense; however, one can legitimately argue that the US normalized relations with Libya too soon, or that there should have been additional security at the compound to begin with

Which one of those is the greatest political crime in American history? Trump is clearly not just talking about a shopping list of past “scandals”, he’s talking as though this is something specific.

There was going to be, but congressional Republicans didn’t want to pay for it.

The deficit, you see. Always so problematic when we have a Democratic White House.

**Jas09 **nailed it in post #8. Scandal or not, that’s the one the name refers to.

More to the point, which of those ten Obama “scandals” would be even in the same ballpark as any of the fifty worst examples of Trump incompetence or malfeasance?

Obviously Velocity is intelligent and is just playing “Devil’s advocate” here, but when actual Trumpists point to “scandals” of Obama (or any of the top Democrats) one’s mind boggles to imagine their disconnect from reality.

GWB- Governing While Black.

I think it’s likely to be they caught Obama saying before the election “Gee I prefer that Hillary wins”. SCANDAL!

Or maybe they’re going to paint the Mueller probe as a coup orchestrated by BLM.

Or they want to whine about Obama giving the Iranians back their own money.
