Video: A Look Back at the 'Scandal Free' Obama Administration

What an achievement.  Eight years, no scandals.  Not to mention a booming economy, an amazing new healthcare system -- some minor "misunderstandings" notwithstanding -- and a 'Smart Power' foreign policy tour de force. That's the self-congratulatory and delusional line coming out of the Obama White House over the home stretch of the president's expiring term. Obama's eminence gris, Valerie Jarrett, raised some eyebrows with this 'zero scandals' assertion on CNN a few days ago:

"The president prides himself on the fact that his administration hasn't had a scandal, and that he hasn't done anything to embarrass himself."
