Let's make a list of all pseudo-scandals of the Obama-presidency.

Mustardgate - When Obama ordered his hamburger with Grey Poupon. He's so elitist and out-of-touch.

Umbrellagate - When Obama didn't give a salute to the Marine holding his umbrella. He disrespects soldiers.

"Terrorist fist-bump" - Barack and Michelle Obama doing a fist-bump. Which is super-secretly the way arab terrorists greet each other.

Obama wearing a tan-colored suit - That was a sad day for America. For... reasons.

Obama hosting black celebrities and black politicians in the White. - According to Fox News, that means he invites hoodlums to his crib.

When Obama invented a time machine, went back in time, and placed birth announcements in Hawaiian newspapers to hide his birth in Kenya.

...even though President's never attend former First Ladies' funerals.

It just goes to show you how not-American he is.

Where he shamed the nation by traveling abroad and proclaiming America was evil and apologizing to the world, because he's ashamed of America and hates his country, or something.
