The Scandalous Presidency of Barack Obama

More about the book

The book compellingly debunks the media narrative that Barack Obama had a “scandal-free” presidency, a claim he made multiple times before leaving office. Matt Margolis, bestselling co-author of The Worst President in History: The Legacy of Barack Obama, presents a detailed account of numerous scandals from the Obama administration that mainstream media either ignored or downplayed. Key issues include the "Fast and Furious" operation, the illegal IRS targeting of conservative groups, and the NSA spying controversy. Margolis argues that the Obama years were marked by lawless governance and abusive practices. Despite Obama and his allies portraying his presidency as a model of integrity, the reality reveals a legacy of corrupt Chicago-machine politics, cronyism, and divisive tactics aimed at undermining opponents. As new scandals continue to emerge, including an illegal NSA scheme to spy on political adversaries and the controversial decision to shield Iranian-backed terrorists from prosecution, it becomes clear that the Obama administration wielded power in unprecedented ways. This examination challenges the notion of a virtuous presidency and underscores the importance of recognizing the truth behind Obama's legacy, which will be debated for years to come.
