obama is the largest coverup the world has ever known, it will take decades for it to come out but it will come out.
"If you like your healthcare, you can keep it, period".
He said you LIE, not you liar! Furthermore, he was LYING which was proven just recently. And, he is a liar, a big one. And, why not cover all the scandals behind Clinton's rapes of several women. that was a huge scandal, to which he was found guilty of and charged with a lesser charge. Ironic of the water gate since Obama's admin does ten times worse than that, and yet, he gets away with it.
were you sick when you voiced this vid?
The title should say "american history" there are other countries on earth. This is why you look so bad to other countries. Think a little further outside the inner sphere.
Nixon resign for what Obama does monthly. We have an immune president.
Amerikkkan politics is suck a fucking joke filled with liars, thieves, crooks, and traitors.
You missed the biggest scandal in American history!!

All American except a few token mentions…why am I not surprised?
What about the 1975 Constitutional Crisis in Australia? To this day it's considered one of the darkest days of Australian politics and led to massive distrust in the British Monarchy's involvement in the Australian political system.
You sound sick, go to bad, take a night of sleep, use tissues…
The Florida voting "scandal" was no even a scandal. They did not "bungle" the ballots. And the Supreme Court did not "step in and choose" Bush.
Obamacare should be in this list, serriously it should.
Ronald "reegan" LMAO!!!!!
i did like these videos until i started watching more of them. so many words mispronounced. Dick Chinny, Ronald Reeegan? How do you not know how to pronounce this?
Woa hoss I'm not a Bush fan but your record of what happened in Florida is patently wrong. Both the original count and subsequent recounts were in Bush's favor. The recount wasn't even legal procedurally. Gore lost even after they enacted special rules to give him a chance.
"Irain gate." I hate you so much.
3:04 *sniffle*
3:30 intresting…ohhh HELLO
The court did not pick Bush…the people did. The court just made everyone follow the law.
I know this list was made three years ago;first time i'm seeing it.
i don't appreciate the sexy silhouettes chosen to represent the females sexually abused/assaulted by robert packwood, allegedly. ~not scott
WOW!!! No Hilderbeast scandals??? This channel is starting to suck.
I listen to the weirdest stuff while I read comics
a long long time ago alot of bad people made the president feel bad about his blowjob
tell me Democrats aren't dirtbags…wow!
The Iran contra scandal should be number one on the list.
WERE THE HELL IS MRS CLINTON SHE KILLED, STOLE AND COVER UP FOR RAPE JUST BECAUSE CNN (CLINTON NEWS NETWORK) COVERS UP FOR HER
Holy crap this is old, but it's new because I just found it… Just another reason that taking something away because it lost it's relevance from one group is a mistake. ( Teen Titans and other entertainment from that era)
If anyone remember, that scandal with Anthony Wiener's sexting women, this should've made it on the list
Gary Condit seriously fucked up, should've cooperated when Chandra went missing
