I am flabbergasted at the naivete and ignorance in this post. No corruption!!!????
Top 5 Corruption scandals under Obama:
1. Benghazi
2. Irs targeting
3. Fast & Furious
4. Obamacare
5. Executive order abuse
And how about the contempt of court, NSA spying and the outright lies from the start?
If the above five examples are considered corruption, then what is not?
The more I read the comments from the right in these threads, the more I realize that better understanding between right and left is impossible and any effort toward that end a complete waste of time. Progress not to be had. No wonder the GOP is in disarray, Congress largely dysfunctional, and Americans apathetic, but good thing we have Congress to broker our interests, because we are hopeless -- and we get what we deserve.

Couldn't agree more. It is both frightening and funny that Obama detractors think Obamacare is a "scandal," even though it has survived two or more court challenges. What particularly is scandalous? I am sure they have no idea until Rush tells them.
Benghazi has been investigated ad nauseum with no wrongdoing found.
IRS targeting - the IRS is charged with determining if groups applying for not-for-profit status are political groups, which are not eligible for such status. Conservative and liberal groups were key-word searched to find applications to investigate. In any case, there has been no evidence that the White House approved or even knew about this activity.
Fast & Furious -- the policy might have been unwise but that doesn't make it a scandal.
Executive Order "abuse" -- what abuse is that, exactly? The President is allowed in the constitution to direct executive agencies. If Congress believes their authority was challenged they have the means to go to court.
As far as these "scandals" are concerned, they are from the department of, I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Thank you for stereotyping and not responding to any specifics on these items. It just shows that the left has nothing to stand on except ideology and that failed a long time ago.

LearnMe subcontracted that task to me, in which I undercut each and every non-"scandal" raised. I did so in post#1312, which noticeably you ignored.
He has maintained Bush policies in Iraq and Afghanistan so that's a big failure. He hasn't gotten us into any new major wars so that's good. But he's bringing in ISIS fighters pretending to be refugees so that's a failure for America but might be a win for him (if he's undercover Muslim) if they blow NY and DC up as they have promised.
an action or event regarded as morally or legally wrong and causing general public outrage.
"a bribery scandal involving one of his key supporters"
Don't confuse policies that may be not-thought-out properly, mistakes or policies that you disagree with, as scandals. None of those things on the list were anything approaching scandals.

what a crock
