And he didnt even get involved in a scandal like Reagans Iran-Contra scandal!
The fact POTUS has stayed scandal free is driving them crazy. They were so hoping he would be corrupt to no end. Sorry to disappoint you, conservatives.
Best post of the century, which essentially obliterates all the stupid threads started by the right-wing, with catchy Obama-hating headlines. The TRUTH is expressed here. Great job and spot on!
Pubs don't have a comeback because they have done nothing, after those 8 horrific years of Dubya.
Conservatives are so mad at the policitians they voted in during the last cycle because Obama has simply owned them and repugs have been unable to do anything about it. Pure & simple.

This must be sarcastic.
The only people who believe such a thing are his mindless cult following.
Stonewalling, covering up and lying about scandals doesn't mean they don't exist.
Regardless of politics, I think we should be able to agree that President Obama is far from a lame-duck and has problem done more in recent months (years) than he did in the beginning.
That's because he finally realized that trying to bring the Republicans on-board (as he tried in his first term) is a waste of time and effort. Once he focused on making accomplishments without them, accomplishments happened.

There has been no scandals. There has been Republicans claiming there were scandals, that ended up short and dry, but no real scandals.
Luckily, all of O's dictates can be undone in a day.
Really?
Which ones on the OP's list can be undone in a day? Besides, regressives must win first, which judging by the crop of candidates, is unlikely.

No one believes this except hard-headed Obama apologists. No one.
If one clearly hasn't been paying attention, one can do five minutes of easy online research and find plenty of evidence of scandals and debacles, from the IRS to healthcare.gov to Solyndra to Arab Spring to Syria/refugee crisis -- from plenty of non-Republican sources.
But you probably already know this, and just choose to ignore it.
...by having one of the most productive lame duck terms in modern US history.
A lame duck is usually presumed to be ineffective, especially when the other party holds both houses of Congress, as they do right now. But President Obama has been anything but ineffective since the 2014 election. Here are just a few of his accomplishments since the GOP took control of Congress:
Relations with Cuba normalized.
Signed a climate deal with China.
Issued new EPA ozone rules limiting ozone emissions.
Announced support for net neutrality rules and pressured the FCC to act.
Issued new power plant regulations.
Issued an executive order on immigration, protecting millions of undocumented immigrants from being deported.

Can anyone name a single accomplishment by the GOP since they won the majority in both houses of Congress?
What a great post. One can only imagine what would have happen in making America more successful if President Obama had had a Congress who believed in the people they represent and respect for the Commander-in-Chief!
