Obama Drops His Name Into the Other Presidential Biographies
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- President Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare signed (sic) 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.”
- 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.
- 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.
I imagine Bill Clinton will be especially receptive to Obama’s habit of shoehorning himself into the limelight previously occupied by others. As you can see, the bullet points make clear that while each president has done something historic or notable, Obama is carrying forward every one of those accomplishments since Coolidge. No wonder he always seems so proud of himself.
Once again, history is being rewritten as we watch. The general public is truly clueless.
some evil genius over at WZ suggested people go into wiki and insert O into every famous person’s page e.g., Jesus -- like Jesus Obama was persecuted for helping the poor

Might as well. Wikipedia is a disaster most of the time. Liberals set forth coordinated attacks on pages about conservatives and fill them with garbage, which then doesn’t get cleaned up for weeks. Once again, the liberals prove more savvy on computer misinformation.

(Oh, be careful Conservapedia has been reported to Symantec as an attack site. Gee, I wonder what happened there?)
So I guess the takeaway here is, the official Whitehouse Bios are about as accurate as wikipedia.
Let me try my hand at this, Obama is as clueless as Carter, crooked as clinton, pathetic red communist as Roosevelt….
People need to e-mail the whore house and bitch.
It is like having an animal in the house, pissing and shitting over everything,trying to mark its place in the world.
Thanks Mars! I did not catch this one!
Wow. And you wonder why you’re called a racist….maybe because you are. And a hypocrite and a Liar..basically everything you stupidly accuse Obama of being.
Proof 1: Anyone who listens to D’Shouza is a racist. D’Shouza is a racist liar, too. just like you. I can see why you like him.
This is a typical conservative ploy: “Now I’m not a something or other (doctor, lawyer, psychologist, or whatever), but you can take it from me, that I certainly believe such and such…”
No, I’ve heard it for years—even before Obama. It’s a political charge rather than a psychological diagnosis.
So now we’re criticizing a US president for having a high opinion of himself? Would you prefer one who didn’t?
If Obama should not take credit for the killing of bin Laden, who should? If you answer George Bush, what you are saying to an Obama apologist is the things that happened on Obama’s watch were caused by George Bush. Sure you want to go there?
If Bush gets credit for OBL, he gets blame for unemployment and the economy. Period. So throw Obama fans a bone and admit Obama gets credit for OBL. Then hammer away at him for everything else.
OMG…the White House website is actively promoting the President?
I say ready the impeachment documents.
You have to be kidding me…aren’t you? Because it really is the silly season if you guys are reduced to making a stink about this.
By the way, No. If he was those were true you would be dead right now. Some of those are terrible people and people are using them as a joke. Just look up N. Korea facts to know what a communist is. Andrew Johnson was actually are worst president statistic wise.
And Obama is not a communist or a marxist. he is not even a good liberal. he is just to the left of Reagan. He just looks like a communist to you wack a doodles out there on the extreme far right ledge.
With the Republicans once again trying to blame all our ills on President Obama I find that once again I have to remind the country that President Bush did this. He as you know was following Reaganism. Reagan was the father of this nightmare. If we are foolish enough to let Romney in he will be influenced to bring us back to the destruction of our version of America and finish us off with Reagan and Bush’s version.
“If there’s nothing wrong or bad about being gay, why the outrage towards someone speculating that Obama may have had gay relations?”
You know why….BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE ARE FOOLS!
First, President Obama was born in Kenya….NOT A US CITIZEN; then he was a MUSLIM; then he was SOCIALIST: then he was a COMMUNIST; and now, HE’S GAY.
WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE…THE RIGHT WING IN THIS COUNTRY IS SICK AND ONTHE CRITICAL LIST….I feel sorry for YOU people. OMG, pathetic!
Please seek professional help…you and others like you really need it.
It’s obvious you people are sick in the head with hatred and racism. What else other reason is there of this type of disusting behavior?
Obama is NOT a fraud! He’s exactly what he claims to be. A lawyer, former State and US Senator, who was born in Hawaii grew up in Indonesia.
Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961 – as his birth certificate states, but that’s too much for you racists to understand.
The facts are in. The right-wing of America are racists. I was right as usual. They hate having black people running in the White House and they prove it everyday with their racist name-calling and attacks!
The biggest threat and disgrace to our country is ignorant bigoted fools. You should be stripped of your right to vote until you learn to accept reality for what it is and stop throwing around conspiracy theories. They still don’t understand that HALF of this country DON’t hate having a black man as President, half of this country aren’t as racist or a bigoted as they are.
Obama’s staff is a bit heavy handed, that is certain. I suspect Obama, in retrospect, wishes they would tone this idiocy down.
Of course he himself has claimed that he is everything from Christopher Columbus to Lincoln, incarnate. So who knows.He is a small man pretending to be what he is not.
@ soulstraw:
I don’t know who D’Shouza is. I presume you mean Dinesh D’Souza. is there a second ‘Proof’? Because misspelling the name of your principle straw man is not a good start.
@ soulstraw:
We don’t care if you or anybody else thinks we are racists.
Now doesn’t that make your head explode?
