Obama Inserts Himself in White House Bios of Past Presidents
Breitbart.com ^ | 5/15/12 | Ben Shapiro

The White House website has always featured biographies of past presidents. The biographies are largely designed for students, so they can research the history of the White House occupants; the text is taken from The Presidents of the United States of America, by Michael Beschloss and Hugh Sidey.

Now, however, President Obama has decided that those other presidential biographies weren’t complete without a sentence about him. Seriously. As it turns out, all past presidents are just a window into President Obama’s grand accomplishments. Here are some examples:

President Calvin Coolidge: “On Feb. 22, 1924 Calvin Coolidge became the first president to make a public radio address to the American people. President Coolidge later helped create the Federal Radio Commission, which has now evolved to become the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). President Obama became the first president to hold virtual gatherings and town halls using Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, etc.” The creation of the FCC wasn’t even one of Coolidge’s top ten accomplishments as president. But it allows Obama to brag about how he uses Facebook, so now it’s one of Coolidge’s most important achievements.

President Herbert Hoover: “President Herbert Hoover signed the bill founding the Department of Veterans Affairs July 21, 1930. President Obama is committed to making sure that the VA, the second-largest cabinet department, serves the needs of all veterans and provides a seamless transition from active duty to civilian life, and has directed his Administration to modernize the way health care is delivered and benefits are administered for our nation's veterans. First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill

“Did you know?

That FDR signed EO 9066 on Feb. 19, 1942, giving him the power to put all Americans of Japanese descent into internment camps, but that Obama extended that to include all American citizens regardless of ancestry?”

Heh.

This is not an administration
It is a cult

So did they decide to leave the earlier presidents alone, or have they just not gotten to them yet?

The "Did You Know" tie in with George W. Bush was boastful like the others, but lame:

In 2002, President George W. Bush’s State of the Union was the first to be live broadcast on the Internet. In 2011 and 2012, President Obama’s State of the Union speeches were available in an enhanced live stream version that featured infographics, charts and data side-by-side in real time with the President’s speech.

Not where they could have gone.

I love that scene from the Ten Commandments but you forgot to insert the drum rolls as the Pharoah pronounces each command:

“Let the name of Obama be stricken from every book and tablet.” (drum roll)

“Stricken from every pylon and obelisk of DC.” (drum roll)

“Let the name of Obama be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of man, for all time.” (drum roll)

So let it be written; so let it be done.

It's Chicago-style ghetto grafitti that will need to be removed in 2013. Looks like the community organizer (it's what he knows how to do) insists on organizing everything everywhere besides his own specific community. Six/seven months seems like an eternity with these WH occupants.

Re:

Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm... In The Ten Commandments didn't Pharaoh pronounce, "So let it be written... so it shall be done."

Whoooooooooooaaa! When any metrosexual man says that... I get chills!

Put those away, Lho. Since The Big O made same-sex marriage the law of the land... I just go for guys--

Just one second, Yul! There are still plenty of us guys... who like Lho to keep shaking those things!

Sorry, Piggy, but we still cannot legally get hitched. Obama only legalized... same-swine marriage.

LOL. Actually I think that should read:

"to include all American citizens related to anyone whose ancestry may have owned slaves"
