Hayes, in fact, was such a technology buff that he installed the first telephone in the White House. A list of telephone subscribers published in the article The Telephones Comes to Washington, by Richard T. Loomis, shows that the White House was given the number 1....

Another Teleprompter fired?
obama is such a little snot.
Apparently the WH staffies took the Hayes story straight off Al Gore’s interweb as the gospel truth - just like those stories about the sea level rising and drowning thousands of islanders.
Can we start a running list of how many historical inaccuracies this guy had made?
1) He said the US invented the car—wrong
2) He implied his birth was a result of the Selma march.
3) His latest Columbus slip
4) Joe Bidens FDR on TV screw up.
5) The US liberation of Auschwitz—wrong.
What else?
He’s been lying so long that he no longer recognizes the difference. How comforting for his children...though who’ve likely been raised as pathological liars themselves.
The crowd he was talking to was full of parasites who produce nothing and live on the producers expense so it makes no difference what ever lie he tells them.
Erkel was just trying to be cool and show everyone how smart he his. But like everything else, he is a miserable failure at it. Go ride your girly bike.
What a low class thing to say about another President. He's an embarrassment.
I never thought I'd live to see a president "talk shit" the way this guy does.
It’s not a mistake unless the msm covers it...and they won’t...so it didn’t happen.
They no longer fire them, they are reassigned to Joe Biden
I know a man who is a pathological liar. Lying is in his nature and, so far, no psychiatry or psychology has been able to modify his behavior. Obama acts so much like him that they are virtually carbon copies of one another. Being pathological does not remove the responsibility of lying. Lying is a choice the person makes regardless of pathology. My friend can always make the decision not to lie, but he goes ahead and does it anyway. Obama is still responsible for his lies regardless of anything pathological.
“....been raised as pathological liars themselves.”
.....and brats! n/s
That’s a good explanation. I ask my wife all the time, “How does he sleep at night? I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I lied like that!”
Believe it or not, the article is from the lefty, Washington Post! I doubt the mainstream TV news will cover it though.
Somebody emailed me a comic takeoff on this news item from the PJTatler:
RutherfordGate part of a pattern for Obama
By now youve probably already heard about RutherfordGate in which President Obama thoughtlessly repeated a bogus quote falsely attributed to President Rutherford B. Hayes in order to slander his opponents and (almost as an afterthought) Hayes himself:
One of my predecessors, President Rutherford B. Hayes, reportedly said about the telephone: Its a great invention but who would ever want to use one? Obama said. Thats why hes not on Mt. Rushmore.
A quick bit of fact-checking uncovered that the quote as has been long known to anyone with a passing knowledge of history is just an urban legend.
But this is not the first time Obama has done this. In recent months, hes been citing all sorts of fabricated quotes attributed to his presidential predecessors, and then mocking their obvious inferiority to his visionary self. Here are just a few examples overlooked by the media:
January 13, Toledo, Ohio:
When Bill Clinton first surfed the Internet, he said, Golly, thisll never be good for anything but porn and cyber-stalking, Obama announced. Thats why hes now nothing but a disgraced, impeached sex addict in a sham marriage to the worst Secretary of State in history.
January 24, Panama City, Florida:
When Harry Truman first learned about the atom bomb, he thought it was a senseless waste of uranium and tried to ship a couple to the Emperor of Japan as novelty gifts, Obama said. If they hadnt fallen out of the plane, Japan would still be our ally today.
February 3, Burbank, California:
When FDR was shown his first television, he deemed it The Devils Toolbox and smashed it up with a sledgehammer, accidentally injuring his leg in the process, Obama said. He was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, and is now known as an elitist 1%er who bankrupted America with a Ponzi Scheme known as Social Security.
February 17, Baltimore, Maryland:
When Abraham Lincoln was shown the Gatling Gun, he laughed and said Why would anyone want to shoot more than one bullet at a time? Obama scoffed. Thats why he isnt on Mount Rushmore. [Aide hurriedly whispers in Obama’s ear.] Oh, he is? Well, then, thats why were going to replace his ugly face with my classic profile.
February 28, San Antonio, Texas:
When Thomas Jefferson first learned of the steam-powered locomotive, he insisted that Nothing will ever replace the horse as mankinds primary mode of transportation, Obama claimed. Thats because he was a slave-owning rapist who declared an imperialist war on our Muslim brothers. More than any single person he is responsible for developing the supremacist philosophy underpinning this racist Amerikkka, and I have ordered all his portraits removed from the White House.
In his 2009 speech in Cairo, Obama said that Islamic scholarship inspired the Italian Renaissance.
19th President: “Rutherfraud” B. Hayes
44th pResident: AnotherFraud, B. Hussein
