5 Things Barack Obama Said in His Weirdly Off-the-Record MIT Speech
"We didn’t have a scandal that embarrassed us," said the former president. "I know that seems like a low bar."

He's not saying unequivocally that he never had scandals.

What he IS saying is that nothing he or his administration did ever embarrassed him.

Might this be how a narcissist -would- think and behave?

Well sure he didn't. Because the press never followed up on any of his scandals.

No follow-up, no embarrassment.

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Bammy's scandals, like his buddy's chickens, are coming home to roost. A long delay, but they're coming.

Perhaps, but really what difference will it make?  He won't be held accountable or responsible and neither will all of his accomplices including Hillary.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
