巴马无丑闻？地球人和外星人都乐了：）
1. Boston Herald（民主党滴大本营啊！）
俺的研究领域和能源效率及可再生能源有关，起码巴马投入共7.8亿美金打了水漂的两个项目就没法跟纳税人交代啊！见本文红字。除此之外，我知道至少还有两个项目，各投入了近5000万，也打了水漂。巴马想以政府政策代替市场选择，这是极端幼稚和错误的。无知者干了荒唐事，就可以不叫“丑闻”了？？liar, liar, pants on fire. :-)

“I am very proud of the fact that we will — knock on wood — leave this administration without significant scandal.” — President Obama at his Nov. 14 news conference.
Ah, the lie oft repeated . . .
Define scandal. Or perhaps “significant scandal.”
Well, let’s start with the IRS scandal — or is there another word for what happens when public officials in one of government’s most sensitive departments make decisions based on ideology. Let’s see, how about when any organization with the words “tea party” in its name applies for tax-exempt status? Lois Lerner, who headed the tax exempt division resigned.
But guess that’s only a “significant scandal” for those groups still waiting to hear back from the IRS.
Or the outright lies being told about waiting lists by Veterans Administration personnel and the vets who suffered as a result?
“We’ve made mistakes, there have been screw-ups,” Obama said, “but I will put the ethics of this administration and our track record in terms of just abiding by the rules and norms, and keeping trust with the American people — I will put this administration against any administration in history.”
Tell that to the family of a vet who died while on some fictitious waiting list.
And how about the Solyndra scandal — or is there a nicer word for what happened when the company lost more than $500 million in taxpayer dollars? Even the Obama-friendly Washington Post reported “Obama’s green-technology program was infused with politics at every level.”
An electric battery company that went belly up cost taxpayers another $280 million.
There was the Secret Service prostitution scandal, which caused the resignation of the head of the Secret Service. The White House intruder incident in 2014 caused yet another resignation at the top.
But our personal favorite was the scandal involving U.S. General Services Administration regional commissioner Jeffrey Neely — if only because of the unforgettable photo of Neely in a bathtub, wine glass at the ready during a $822,751 conference he organized that the GSA Inspector General called “excessive” and “wasteful.” That resulted in five firings, including Neely, and the resignation of the head of the agency.
But as Obama said, “We had a strong Ethics Office. We had people in every agency whose job it was to remind people, this is how you’re supposed to do things. It doesn’t mean everybody always did everything exactly the way it’s supposed to . . .”
No scandal here, folks. Just move along.
2. Newmax: 巴马的七宗罪 Barack Obama Scandal: 7 Controversies That Have Marred Obama's Presidency?
It's nearly impossible to not find a Barack Obama scandal or controversy. The list can change almost daily.
Here's a list of seven controversies that have become constant reminders of the ongoing dishonesty of the Obama presidency:

1. The "Fast and Furious" operation under the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) began as a way to allow firearms dealers in Arizona to sell weapons to illegal buyers in Mexico in the hope they could catch top dealers in the Mexican drug cartels. It didn't work out that way, and led to the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
Obama resorted to the tired excuse of blaming former President George W. Bush for starting the operation, but it actually began in the fall of 2009, correspondent Jake Tapper informed White House press secretary Jay Carney, who had tried to repeat Obama's claim and couldn't respond during a press conference.
2. Obama's misinformation about the Affordable Care Act may have led to millions of Americans having no health insurance because of higher costs. After the bill that overhauled the entire medical industry was quickly passed through a super majority of Democrats in 2010, constant revisions to the plan haven't helped.
The people who were told their health insurance premiums would go down saw them skyrocketing. Hundreds of thousands of people discovered their policies were canceled because of new regulations.
3. Former Obama associates have severely criticized the president's indecisive actions in the Middle East, particularly Syria and Iraq. Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said Obama "doesn't believe in his own strategy" and Leon Panetta, another former secretary of defense, admitted the terrorist threat has increased in the Middle East because of the president's policies.

4. The mistreatment of vets and mismanagement of care at the Veterans Administration has been detailed by the Government Accountability Office, with countless service members put on long waiting lists with no care for months or years. Obama promised consequences, but nothing came of it.
5. The IRS scandal broke after Obama's re-election and Obama said the press reports were the first he had heard about it.
The IRS had been targeting conservative and tea party groups to exclude their tax-exempt status as the presidential campaign had been gearing up. Two years' worth of emails from the IRS commissioner at the time, Lois Lerner, mysteriously disappeared during an investigation.
6. Benghazi remains a controversy that won't go away, despite a House committee's seeming exoneration of the Obama administration, although certain matters weren't addressed and further investigations continue.
The administration first tried to blame the murder of three Americans at the Libyan embassy on an anti-Muslim video, but it was soon clear it had been a well-orchestrated terrorist attack. The Obama administration failed to protect the embassy despite pleas from U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who died in the attack.
7. Even the press doesn't escape Barack Obama scandal controversies. The Obama administration's Justice Department snooped into the phone records of Associated Press reporters to find out about a leak. James Rosen, a Fox News reporter, was accused of criminal activity by the department as an excuse to pry into his phone calls and emails.
