Obama annotates all the past president’s bios on white house website to include him.
No, we’re not kidding.
On Monday, aides to President Obama added blurbs to the end of the presidential biographies on the White House website, augmenting the work of historians Michael Beschloss and Hugh Sidey with references to the current president that are something less than scholarship.
The president’s opponents used the additions to tweak the president’s famously healthy ego, sparking top ten lists and the Republican National Committee’s “Obama In History” tumblr account, which depicts the president as part of other historical events, such as the moon landing and the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
But White House sources say the additions of items with hyperlinks are a commonly used Internet best practice to encourage people to browse more pages on a site.
The additions take the form of little nuggets added to the end of the bios. For instance, after the biography of President Reagan it now reads:
“Did you know?
“President Reagan designated Martin Luther King Jr. Day a national holiday; today the Obama Administration honors this tradition, with the First and Second Families participating in service projects on this day.”
!snip!
Moe Lane adds an interesting tidbit:
it turns out Obama has added bullet points bragging about his own accomplishments to the biographical sketches of every single U.S. president since Calvin Coolidge (except, for some reason, Gerald Ford).
I’m going to guess that the Ford exception is because the most significant thing that happened during Ford’s administration is that the Democrats stabbed South Vietnam in the back and left it to the Commies, then promptly tried to forget that Vietnam ever existed (except as an opportunity to create a new victim class). You can imagine that the administration probably would not want to bring that up…

You must know by now that it is ALL about him. He’s a megalomaniacal jackass. The sort who usually is found in third world countries.

“Did you know?”
“In the book of Exodus, God originally gave Moses 12 commandments. But Barack Obama helped God whittle that down to only 10 commandments, working in the name of fairness and social justice for all. Amen.”

Worse than Obama? The left, who see absolutely nothing wrong with this behavior.
They need to step back away from the pubic patch and see the big picture.

UM – wait a minute. At link to Jake Tapper it says:
“In a June 28, 1985 speech Reagan called for a fairer tax code, one where a multi-millionaire did not have a lower tax rate than his secretary. Today, President Obama is calling for the same with the Buffett Rule.”
Reagan said to LOWER the secretary’s tax NOT raise the tax for millionaires. There was no Buffett Rule.
He wants to appeal to ignorance and emotions by providing made up history, and lies.

Toby Keith’s Ode to Obama:
I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you you you you, usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about meeeeee !

Did you know?
President James Buchanan, Jr. once enjoyed a very special relationship with Alabama Senator William Rufus King; today the Obama Administration honors this tradition, by sharing such a special relationship with Lawrence Sinclair and Reginald L. Love.

The only way history will record Obysmal in a positive light is if he writes it himself….or maybe Bill Ayres, but either way no one else is going to do it for him.

If ever anything good comes from this tragic Presidency, may it be that America will not suffer such a fool again, or at least not for a very long time!

I don’t know about these other so-called Presidents, but while I’ve got the attention of the world, I want to talk about me, my greatness, my place in history, and how I am going to obtain the adulation that I so richly deserve through all of the me-ness that I have.
Egads, what a ducking foofus!!!

Over 50 years ago my dad made the observation that egotistical people always seem to stutter on the word “I”. Damned if the old man wasn’t right.

It’s been said before by persons way better than me, but paraphrased: America can survive ONE Baraq Obama. What we cannot survive, however, is a majority of freeloaders who would vote for a Baraq Obama and a largesse from the taxpaying producers

Did you know?
President Garfield was the inspiration for a certain fat, orange, lazy, lasagna eating cat? President Obama does not own any cats, but he does own a dog named BO, which incidentally and completely accidentally, happens to be President Obama’s initials.
President Obama prefers dogs over cats because dogs taste better…
