President Pivot was in Galesburg, Illinois, today to deliver yet another speech extolling the many ways in which he has saved or created the American economy.

What do we do now that the speech fixed the economy?

We’re not sure, but according to Obama, one thing we definitely should not do is pay any attention to the endless parade of scandals that has plagued his presidency. After all, they’re just “distractions”:

Feisty President: "With an endless parade of distractions, political posturing & phony scandals, Washington has taken its eye off the ball"

Who does this guy think he is? Jay Carney? Tweeters were rightly disgusted:

There it is! "Endless posturing and phony scandals"

@theblaze If the scandals are phony, then why all of the whistleblower intimidation and signing of no-talk agreements.

The puppet says all the scandals are "phony" . . . I'm sure the families of the Benghazi victims are happy to hear that.

Truly shameful.

Obama said "Phony Scandals". He is the epitome of Phony and Scandal, all wrapped up in a temper tantrum throwing, narcissistic liar.
