 Can I just say one thing, you know people in Barack Obama's White House, they didn't have to hire lawyers because there were no scandals What did he just say? No, I mean it's true. No scandals right off the top of my head. I can think of quite a few How about the IRS targeting scandal? That's when Obama and Lewis Lerner used the IRS to target his political opposition Way back in October of 2017 the Justice Department settled multiple lawsuits over this scandal Attorney General Jeff Sessions even said it was clear that the IRS was using inappropriate criteria to screen applications for taxes exempt status under the Obama Administration and they were targeting Tea Party and conservative groups Even CNN calls it a scandal on their website Or what about the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal? If you don't remember that's when the ATF was allowing cartels to purchase weapons illegally so that they could eventually track the guns to the cartels and then arrest them Those guns ended up being used to slaughter Mexican civilians When Congress subpoenaed Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder, he refused to comply and was even held in criminal contempt That's the first time that's ever happened Fortunately for him Obama and the Department of Justice let him off the hook Even John McCain blasted the Obama administration saying your administration's disdain towards congressional authority and its failure to disclose public records Feeds into its adversarial relationship with Congress and fuels public distrust in government Did the media ever raise a fuss about this or spend every night trying to destroy Obama? Of course not quite the opposite In fact, they ran cover for him and painted critics as partisan hacks that we're just trying to pounce on Obama Were there others besides these two huge scandals? Absolutely Benghazi spying on the Associated Press The Land Draw Obama's lies about the Affordable Care Act the NSA spying scandal Paying five billion dollars and releasing five Taliban prisoners for a desert or burgdoll Attacking Libya without congressional approval Covertly delivering a hundred and fifty billion dollars to Iran and lying about it. So, you know, the idea is the way it is now Well, no, I mean, I don't think it's just the times. I think it's the president like that's what I mean I mean, yeah It's like not all presidents are the same Isn't it mind-blowing that these people consider themselves honest journalists? You have to wonder do these people know that they're full of it and they lie just to collect a check Or are they really just this deluded and completely lacking in self-awareness back during their early years of the Obama administration AM radio host rush limbaugh presented what he called the limbaugh theorem The limbaugh theorem states that Obama is always seen as opposing everything bad that's happening in his administration Even when the things that he is causing basically Obama just acted like he had no involvement in anything negative that was happening in his administration And the media helped him in that the media was crucial to this strategy as they played along and would spin the news to fit that narrative And it worked perfectly for him Another example of this is when obama would praise high gas prices and say that they were necessary To stop people from driving as much which would help the environment Even as his energy secretary steven chu laid out plans that showed increasing gas prices The media still reported as if high gas prices were out of obama's hands Like he could do nothing about it and had nothing to do with it So could these high prices help us? I think that I would have preferred a gradual adjustment You wouldn't think high gas and oil prices would be a blessing in disguise But they are as victor lopez found out. They're causing a big jump in the number of jobs We turn now to five things you should know about gas Specifically why gas prices even at over four dollars a gallon can sometimes be a good thing And we know that rising gas prices are forcing us to search for alternative fuels and more fuel efficient cars There are some other reasons to be optimistic about the high cost of gas here in just a few of them 2,220 people have already been saved over the past year because a reduction in driving has led to less particle pollution in the air So we've established that there absolutely were scandals under the obama administration that even cnn documented on their website as scandals Yet they brazenly lie in their on air reporting with no pushback from any of the panel or the host This is just another reason and a long list of reasons not to trust cnn It's just political propaganda dressed up to look like journalism It has no purpose or value other than destroying the political opposition of the democrat party
