    What is your opinion of President Obama stating that the current Administration scandals are Phony?

    Does this statement present a distraction to the public?  Does it show that the President has little concern for the truth?  Does it echo the same illogical rhetoric as that used to hide personal records from the public?  Does it reflect the inappropriate activity by a president that has spent more and done less than all others? Does it imply that the President believes that the lives lost in Benghazi are a joke?  Does it present the type of leadership you believe is required for a President?

    The answer(s) to your first five questions is YES; the answer to the last is NO.  Unfortunately, with a sycophantic press, he's getting away with it.  Thank God for Fox News, otherwise most of this stuff would have bee swept under the rug.

      Adding to Larry. And those networks have erased the line between disrespecting Pres Obama, the man, and disrespecting the office of the President of the United States. And have basically called the majority that voted for Obama a bunch of idiots.

    It's the old Law School adage:

    "When the law is on your side, argue the law. When the facts are on your side, argue the facts. When neither the law nor facts are on your side, slam the table and be as loud as possible."

    He'd lose a policy debate, and he can't afford to get into a character debate this close to the midterms. All that's left is to try to distract from the issues and marginalize the opposition.

    Once again, we are looking at a distraction, given all the negative blogs I read before finding Obama's actual words. to wit:
    -- “With an endless parade of distractions, political posturing and phony scandals, Washington has taken its eye off the ball.”

    As expected, nobody seems to understand plain English, it seems.  The words causing such a useless firestorm is obviously "phony scandals".

    The definition of a "scandal", if anyone cared to look it up is, (take your pick)
    - 1. A publicized incident that brings about "disgrace" or "offends the moral sensibilities of society:" a drug scandal that forced the mayor's resignation.
    - 2. A person, thing, or circumstance that causes or ought to "cause disgrace or outrage": a politician whose dishonesty is a scandal; considered the housing shortage a scandal.
    - 3. Damage to reputation or character caused by "public disclosure of immoral or grossly improper behavior"; disgrace.
    - 4. Talk that is damaging to one's character; "malicious gossip".

    The three things most commonly brought as having been a real, honest-to-goodness "Scandal" are:
    - 1.  The IRS overzealous inspection of groups (it is known that it was all groups, not just Right-wing ones) who logically don't seem to qualify for the charitable exemption they were seeking.
    - 2. A traitor exposing classified information about a program the Congress (at least those with a need-to-know) knew about all along.
    - 3. The terrorist attack on an embassy facility in Benghazi, Libya, the subsequent explanation of it, and the internal security problems in the State department.

    Now, I put in quotes those part of the "scandal" definition which are the action words, the words that must be found in the three events listed above.  As I see it, ?not a one" of them qualify as an Obama scandal!  The closest you "might" come is the potential "scandal" surrounding the inadequate security measures.followed by the State Department; although even this is missing the element of "purposefulness" that is normally associated with the idea of a scandal.

    Please tell me, without doing damage to their definitions, where the immorality or malfeasance is exhibited by Obama in any of these?  Even the IRS scandal has turned out not to be a "scandal" at all but more of poor management and oversight.

    If none of these are "scandals", then by definition they are phony.

      Actually nothing was found in virtually all of the apps that should have disqualified them from tax exempt status.  And the numbers of total apps was less than prior years.  They just chose to single out political opposition as per Chief Counsel.

    As an old reporter, the assumption is made (all to often) if a politician is involved, it must be crooked, illegal, a scandal, etc.
    Regardless of his position, the top man is blamed for all things that go wrong--a mayor cannot control every employee action in the city. Thus the President cannot be responsible for every mistake made by a government employee.

    The simple fact is that people who do not like Mr. Obama for one reason are looking for other reasons to dislike him.

    Has he been our greatest president--no.
    Has he been our worse president--no
    Has he made mistakes--yes
    Has anyone on this thread not made a mistake--no.

    I promise you that a reporter can find something to pin on any elected official and with the way news is presented--screaming--not streaming--people become overly alarmed, when it is not necessary.

      Your logic evades me. Obama is serving a second term because the people, remember them, elected him. So those who elected him are apparently at fault using your logic. So much for liberty. Hoover was worse, there were signs and he ignored them.

      The recession ended before he signed a single piece of legislation in March of 2009. And insuring 30 million is a stretch as people all over are getting dropped from their insurance or getting cut to part time as a result of this so called reform.

    Our President makes excuses and initiates coverups so that the truth does not come out. The Government has become so political that one never knows what to believe. He bypasses laws, tries to influence decisions by the Supreme Court, and makes inappropriate comments. President Obama does not try to bring the two parties together. Benghazi and the Navy Seal incidents are examples of his coverup attempts. One skill that he uses is his ability as a public speaker, It is difficult to form an opinion of his successes and failures, because of the issues mentioned. No one knows what to believe..I do believe that he tries but is in a difficult situation at the present time.

    He is simply being another corrupt politician by making such a statement.  But I don't expect him to actively do anything other than downplay them.  Take the IRS scandal.     The story line went from a few rogue agents in Cinncinati, and now it's traced all the way back to a White House and the WH chief counsel.  So the closer the scandal gets to a political figure, the more they have to down play it.  It's just a lot easier when the media is in your corner.

    I agree with the statement. Not because I'm a fan of Obama's. But I'm not a fan of the media. They are the ones, (along with Republicans), to label something a scandal when in fact it is an unanswered question or set of questions. If a complete, factual answer is present and someone tries to lie out of it, it's a scandal. If something is an accusation made by someone without explanation by the accused,it is not. The dictionary defines scandal as "malicious gossip". And more times than not, that's what it ends up being. Sounds phony to me. It's usually created or exaggerated by someone or something for the purpose of personal gain due to lack of ability to gain on their own merit. A perfect example of this is the marriage between FOXNEWS and the Republican Party. They have made an art of spinning an unexplained event into a huge, scandalous story.

    I have no idea which scandals are "phony" or politically motivated and which ones  are of genuine concern to the average citizen.
    Historically it appears that most (2nd term) presidents are bombarded by the opposition party to derail their agenda in hopes of weakening the sitting president's party. I saw this happen during the 2nd terms of Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush. The goal of any "opposition" party is to replace elected officials with their own party members! Keep the sitting president on defense so he or she can't accomplish anything. A lot of 2nd term presidents turn to international issues. It's impossible for a president to go 8 years with a scandal in his cabinet.
    If a 2nd term president finishes their term on a high note or remains popular then people are likely to elect his party's representative in the next election. The dirty truth about politics is "party loyalty" is more important than what is "good" for the country. Another said truth is the voters really (believe) their party hates the other party. When in fact both political parties are made up of rich elitist people looking to make a name for themselves in the history books. You're better off to ignore D.C. and focus on your local politicians and do what is best for your family.
