No More "Mr.Clean" - Inside The "Scandal-Free" Years Of Obama's Presidency

For years former President Obama remained more or less off the grid. It could be argued that it is not uncommon for an ex-president to stay out of the limelight. Several Presidents have done this even claiming it was for the good of the country and in an effort not to interfere with the country moving forward. Obama has recently reemerged and injected himself into the public spotlight, at times taking aim at President Trump and the way his administration is handling various situations. It is not surprising that President Trump is not pleased.

While our memory has a way of removing rough edges from events we should not try to whitewash the past and rewrite history to present a different picture of what really happened. Because of the stark contrast in the demeanor and style of Trump and Obama, the media has "photo shopped" reality. Obama has been painted as, a thoughtful, intelligent, capable man full of hope and able to bring us together. He did, after all, bring America's economy back from the brink of disaster following the Great Recession. Trump, on the other hand, is often portrayed as a divisive, dishonest, braggart, and a buffoon. The fact is during Obama's time as President the country suffered scandal upon scandal upon scandal, it might be fair to say we had "scandals galore."

Trump the equalizer. Obama the crooked illegal President wants to criticize Trump then expect his deep dark secrets to come out. Obama has covered up so much and has sealed so much it will come out.

Some are slow on the draw. Most knew this administration was dirty long before Trump arrived. Even though Old Joe Joe told us his boss wash clean. Only difference Old Joe Joe ( fire a couple round off the balcony ), meant the boy took bird baths or something. You can’t make this stuff up if you tried.

Yeah right Mr Clean. Anyone who didn't figure out B.O was nothing but a lying ghetto hustler when he was first elected senator is either one incredibly ignorant person or just as much piece of trash as he is.

I take great offense that this article States that Obama saved the economy. Are you kidding me. He destroyed the economy. Many people lost their homes, no jobs. I've heve heard some people in the media say Trump's economy was due to Obama. Well, first all it didn't, and secondly, if it had why did it take him 8 years. Also Omaha was never off the grid. He has been working night and day to organize criminals to take Trump down. It is now coming out. Obama was the worse President in the United States. All because of his skin color.
