The Obama White House is drawing ridicule for appending the official online biographies of nearly every president over the last century in order to link President Obama's accomplishments to the former commanders in chief.
The Obama team went into the pages of U.S. presidents dating back to Calvin Coolidge to add friendly looking "Did you know?" fact boxes to the end of their bios. Those additions were used to plug a host of Obama administration initiatives, ranging from the health care overhaul to the so-called "Buffett Rule" to his green-energy policies.
For instance, the following line was added to the official bio of the late President Ronald Reagan: "In a June 28, 1985, speech, Reagan called for a fairer tax code, one where a multimillionaire did not have a lower tax rate than his secretary. Today, President Obama is calling for the same with the Buffett Rule."
The White House is coming under heavy criticism from conservatives for the changes, and not just to Reagan's page.
Late Tuesday, the White House defended itself, claiming the staff was merely adding links to other pages.

I sure am glad Obama got that Galileo guy off the hook with the Church. And people scoff at his Harvard education!
Ha!
The Barack Obama coming announcement was inspired by the Lamar Latrelle role in “Revenge of the Nerds”.
Sounds like a clever kid’s civics class school project, maybe. As anything substantive it is a total yawner. Every age has had its follies; why boast of following in those follies’ footsteps?
Barack Obama was also responsible for making the earth round solely to discredit uppity white scientists.
His life story also inspired others to write the Magna Carta.
What a treasure I received tonight!
Inspired by the fairytale story of Sleeping Beauty, President Barack Obama devoted his adult life to riding the ‘white horse’.
The annointed one landed on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. When his LCM pulled up to the water’s edge, he yelled out “where did you say were are?” Someone replied ‘Omaha Beach’ boy and he yelled back, “oh, I thought we were landing on Obama Beach!”
‘Semper Fi’
The original draft to President Barack Obama’s inauguration speech began with the words “If Frank Marshall Davis had a son...”
Ping to Laz...more fun to be had here ;)
Nooooo.. The staff is lying and trying to change history.

What is all the fuss?
Marxist guys revise!
There is no real “Lie,”
Just subvert or die.
Gadzooks, you'll never believe what... I found there!
George Washington
On April 30, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States.
Did you know?
Yeah, yeah-- But he was an old rich white dude, not young and super cool like me... the First Black President who killed Osama when none of those other white 43 guys ahead of me could. And they had more than 200 years to do it. It took me less than 3 years to nail Bin Laden's hide to the White House wall!
Thomas Jefferson
Freckled and sandy-haired, rather tall and awkward, Jefferson was eloquent as a correspondent, but he was no public speaker.
Did you know?
See, not only did I write two best selling books, I am beautiful... and I give a speech like no one else ever!
Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln lead the Union to victory over the Confederacy and freed the slaves...
Did you know?
Yet while he only fought one war while I fought two illegal wars started by George W. Bush... and won them plus killing Osama and freeing the most oppressed minority in history: the gays and lesbians of the world!
Grover Cleveland
The First Democrat elected after the Civil War, Grover Cleveland was the only President to leave the White House and return for a second term four years later.
Did you know?
As the First Black Democrat President, I feel certain the adoring American voters will not let me leave after two terms... and they will demand I stay in office the rest of my life!
Harry S. Truman
Nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki and recognized the state of Israel.
Did you know?
Cleaning up Harry's two biggest mistakes, not only am I slowly but surely doing away with all US nuclear weapons... I'm also taking back our recognition of Israel!
John F Kennedy
President John F. Kennedy famously suggested the American people: Ask what you can do for your country.
Did you know?
Well, I showed it is 'what your country can do for you' that really counts. Just ask Julia! And unlike JFK, I am... not stupid enough go down to Texas and get my ass shot off by those racist gun nuts!
As you can plainly see, you cannot... make this stuff up!
Looks like someone needs... a rather long trip to the woodshed!
It’s been a busy day on Twitter with all the new hash tags the left keeps providing for ridicule. Even the gov of Maryland was hammered for his inane tweets. :)
Obama thinks he has an answer for everything, but he's fooling no one.

Following the raid on the Gibson Guitar company over alleged rule violations, a lesser raid took place on the Norelco company over manufacturing products that could result in the removal of the first lady.
"Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States, and President Obama likes to watch Hot in Cleveland.
Today, President Barack Obama issued an executive order banning the book “Alice in Wonderland” from all government buildings on the grounds that the Tea Party scene may be offensive to some Democrats and harmful to the development of liberal children.
