Obama 's Gift to Hillary Clinton . 
No modern-day president has left his potential successor a less scandal-plagued legacy than Barack Obama . 
Put simply , there 's nothing Clinton can do to escape Obama 's legacy . 
No one blames Obama for the Secret Service fiascos , and while the IRS business looked like a serious scandal , subsequent scrutiny turned up practically nothing . 
There 's also no particular anger or displeasure at Obama from the general public . 
Far from being a burden on Clinton 's bid , Obama is an asset . 
Conservatives will huff and harrumph to the contrary , but relative to his peers , Obama has had a remarkably clean , scandal-free presidency . 
Indeed , for as much as liberals have complained about Obama 's stoicism in the face of almost everything , that same quality is poised to give Democrats a key bonus in the game : Stability . 
And when Republicans warn of a "third Obama term ," Clinton can flip that as a good thing . 
President Obama is n't a stranger to mishaps , mistakes , and improprieties . 
As it stands , she 's tied to President Obama . 
But unlike Iran -- Contra or Clinton 's impeachment , none of these were consequential for Obama 's presidency . 
Unlike with McCain and Bush or Gore and Bill Clinton , there is no Obama scandal fatigue or general exhaustion with Democrats .
