Exactly which scandal do you call "phony", Mr. Obama?

Top 10 Signs Scandals Aren't 'Phony'  "But with this endless parade of distractions and political posturing and phony scandals, Washington has taken its eye off the ball. And I am here to say this needs to stop. (Applause.) This needs to stop." - President Barack Obama, Speech on the Economy and 'Phony Scandals,' Galesburg, IL, July 24, 2013

Nile Gardiner, in an article posted elsewhere here, Gardiner wrote that Obama "condemned what he called “an endless parade of distractions, political posturing and phony scandals,” a direct reference to the Congressional investigations into the IRS and Benghazi scandals, which most Americans don’t see as phony."

Scandal Watch: Senior DHS Official and Top Obama Nominee Under Investigation  "The US government's Inspectors General have been mighty busy lately.  Whereas the IRS, DOJ and Benghazi scandals can all be succinctly summarized in a sentence or two, this latest emerging story cannot -- which is why it may lack the legs to really blow up."  http://www.lucianne.com/

Obama: 'Phony scandals' effort 'needs to stop'  "This contradicts his earlier promises to get to the bottom of the IRS scandal, but the president has moved into the realm of postmodernism where truth is optional, and all that matters is a narrative. His narrative is now set, and we can expect future speeches to mock the Republicans with the trademark sarcastic condescension that marks his humor when turned on his political enemies."  Emphasis mine, TD
