Obama Drops His Name Into the Other Presidential Biographies

commentary ^

[Perdogg]

Many of President Obama’s fervent devotees are young enough not to have much memory of the political world before the arrival of The One. Coincidentally, Obama himself feels the same way—and the White House’s official website reflects that.

The Heritage Foundation’s Rory Cooper tweeted that Obama had casually dropped his own name into Ronald Reagan’s official biography on www.whitehouse.gov, claiming credit for taking up the mantle of Reagan’s tax reform advocacy with his “Buffett Rule” gimmick. My first thought was, he must be joking. But he wasn’t—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). Here are a few examples:

[Casie]

“God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning-the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. President Obama saw this and said “I was totally going to do it in 5 days and get in two days of golf, but whatever.”

It's real! [Long, but I think the shocking narcissism justifies providing the whole story.]

http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/calvincoolidge Did you know? * 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.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/herberthoover Did you know? * 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 Biden launched Joining Forces to mobilize all sectors of society to give our service members and their families the opportunities and support they have earned.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/franklindroosevelt Did you know? * On August 14, 1935, President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act. Today the Obama Administration continues to protect seniors and ensure Social Security will be there for future generations.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/harrystruman Did you know? * In a 1946 letter to the National Urban League, President Truman wrote that the government has "an obligation to see that the civil rights of every citizen are fully and equally protected.” He ended racial segregation in civil service and the armed forces in 1948. Today the Obama Administration continues to strive toward upholding the civil rights of its citizens, repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, allowing people of all sexual orientations to serve openly in our armed forces. http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/dwightdeisenhower Did you know? * President Dwight Eisenhower established the President's Council on Youth Fitness on July 16, 1956 (now known as The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports) after learning from a study that American youth were less fit than European youth. Today the Council is still going strong—with Olympians and professional athletes on board—working in conjunction with the First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move initiative to help promote healthier lifestyles.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/johnfkennedy Did you know? * President John F. Kennedy famously suggested the American people: “Ask what you can do for your country.” In 1961, the Peace Corps was created, facilitating service among citizens working toward peace in developing countries. In 2011, President Obama celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps with a Presidential Proclamation.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/lyndonbjohnson Did you know? * President Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare signed into law in 1965—providing millions of elderly healthcare stability. President Obama’s historic health care reform law, the Affordable Care Act, strengthens Medicare, offers eligible seniors a range of preventive services with no cost-sharing, and provides discounts on drugs when in the coverage gap known as the “donut hole.”

http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/richardnixon Did you know? * In 1973, Richard Nixon created The President’s Export Council, which was expanded and reconstituted under President Jimmy Carter in 1979. Today the PEC continues to work towards reaching President Obama’s goal of doubling the nation’s exports by 2014’s end.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/jimmycarter Did you know? * In 1977, President Jimmy Carter created the Department of Energy; today the DOE works with the Obama Administration to drive towards innovation in energy and reducing reliance on foreign oil with an “all of the above” approach.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/ronaldreagan 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. * 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.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/georgehwbush Did you know? * President Barack Obama awarded George H.W. Bush the 2010 Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, for his commitment to service and ability to inspire volunteerism throughout the country, encouraging citizens to be “a thousand points of light.” The administration continues to promote service and civic engagement, honoring heroes of local communities as “Champions of Change” and fostering civic participation.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/williamjclinton Did you know? * Continuing his work as a lifelong public service, Clinton created the Clinton Foundation in 2001 to improve global health, education, economies and environments. Affectionately calling him “Do-Gooder-in-Chief”, President Obama has worked with Clinton to make buildings in our country more efficient—announcing a $4 billion investment in energy efficiency upgrades for commercial buildings.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/georgewbush Did you know? * 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.

Obama has added bullet points bragging about his own accomplishments to the biographical sketches of every single U.S. president since Calvin Coolidge

NUT - JOB

[Red Boots]

Thanks, at least we don’t have to actually go to WH.gov, but this beyond sickening. Shocking narcissism is right.

[Hotlanta Mike]

The only lingering historical fact that will apply to Obama is that he was America’s first AFFIRMATIVE ACTION president.

By the way, can’t wait for Hanniy to start playing those 3-1/2 hours of taped interviews that Ed Klein had with The Reverend Wright. Get the popcorn ready!!!

[hoosiermama]

Bullet points? be careful what you say...the men in black may visit you...;~)

There should be some way that this entire fiasco can be turned into a humerous cartoon for you tube. Heaven know it’s about the only way to get some people to listen to reason...make it entertaining.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

We must thank our dear leader for all the things he has given us, like Twitter updates.

I want him to make all of my decisions for me.

[Slings and Arrows]

As we say in the South, shee-hee-yit.

[Brown Deer]

He really did it!

Ronald Reagan
Calvin Coolidge
Harry Truman
Lyndon Johnson
Franklin Roosevelt

What an ASS!

[melancholy]

But...but...what about being a fag? Which former president supported fag marriage?

0h0m0’s fagang MUST find at least one president, no?

More than 150 years before America elected its first black president, Barack Obama, it most likely had its first gay president, but Obama is now the first president to speak out in favor of his homo beliefs.

Thanks. I don't know why I didn't see this the first time I looked. I really did do a search for "Obama" on a couple of these pages, but I only found it on the imperial fluff around the main text.

Ironically, President Downgrade is about to replace Buchanan as the very worst President in U.S. History

[rockvillem]

The banana republic/cult of personality aspect of this Administration is remarkable. The “Did You Know” section of these profiles sound like they were drafted in Zimbabwe or North Korea.
