Obama had his share of scandals (and I am not saying that to downplay the clusterfuck that is the Trump admin; Obama's pale in comparison, but they are still there), like IRS targeting of right wing orgs, Operation Fast and Furious, drone-ing (of US citizens), all the Snowden revelations, and "Obama's war on whistleblowers" (as The Guardian called it), for example. Or other things like the "De-Ba'athification" policy in Iraq which most likely played a major role in the empowerment of ISIS (not really a scandal, more of a failed policy, but yet something that can be criticized). Point being, there was a lot of things to rightfully criticize about the Obama admin, and therefore Obama himself ("the buck stops here"). |

The IRS targeting of right wing orgs was indeed a scandal but it turned out to not be true [0].
