I forgot about that "scandal" also...

My mom was like " I find it funny that they hide him when he smokes and there is no pictures of him smoking"

Mom, he is trying to set a good example to the kids so that they would not take up the same habit you struggled with to quit for years....

She never brought it up again.

involve Obama himself at all, of course, but it was a fairly legit investigation of something that bore the appearance of impropriety.

THAT'S IT, though. Everything else (Benghazi!!!) was BS political grandstanding.

He was also wrong to say 'you can keep your doctor', simply because nobody ever knows if they can keep their doctor from 1 year to the next because they can go in/out of networks, plus the ins. carriers change their networks every year, etc. But it was not a scandal.

...Obama took office. What gets lost in all the screeching and hand wringing by the republicans is that "extremist" groups on BOTH sides, right and left, were investigated or audited. It wasn't just right-wing groups.
