On the White House website you can find biographies of all 44 Presidents of the United States. But did you know that the biographies have been updated with little tidbits about all of the wonderful things President Obama has done since taking office?
It’s actually kind of creepy and disturbing. We paid someone to do this, and when he’s voted out of office we’ll have to pay someone to restore these presidential biographies.
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).
That article goes on to give some examples, including the one about Reagan. Now, lest you think he’s a total narcissist, the entry for Dwight D. Eisenhower mentions Michelle, not Barack.
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 initiativeto help promote healthier lifestyles.
They include links and everything.
Philip Klein put it well when he wrote “Obama should get beyond his own narcissism and realize that, win or lose in November, he’s just a temporary part of something that’s bigger than himself.” We all know that will never happen.
Via memeorandum, others who have weighed in include National Review, Hot Air, Draw and STRIKE!, Weasel Zippers, The Daily Caller, Indecision Forever, Questions and Observations, Pundit & Pundette, Outside the Beltway,RedState, The PJ Tatler, Ed Driscoll, Betsy’s Page and Washington Free Beacon
Update: Rutherford B. Hayes weighed in, and the RNC is having a ball with Obama in History.
I’m speechless. I can’t believe he’d do that. I did, actually, think he had limits.

My mouth is hanging open! Creepy does not begin to describe this man. And what is more creepy is the number of people in this country who are bowing down to him. I still think he is the antichrist. Everything he does points to it. Except that according to the Bible, the antichrist is supposed to come “from the church.” Since that place Obama went for 20 years is not in any way Christian, that doesn’t really fit him.
He is, at least, AN antichrist.

…and having read a whole article about this in the a.m., where it notes also:
“The page goes on to show pictures of Obama standing with historical figures ranging from Einstein to Elvis to The Beatles. It also shows Obama at the Berlin Wall and Stonehenge.” …… we now know he is FORREST GUMP. Hahahaha!
“I love the smell of desperation in the morning!” …..

(…to be clear before the Trolls pop out, it’s a Republican page showing the photos of Obama with those historical figures, to mock him…my copy & paste let me down…)

Obama should update the official bios on Christopher Columbus, the Mayflower Compact, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln! If you are going to embellish history, why limit it to the last 70 years, why not go way back!
If Columbus hadn’t discovered the new world, there would be no kindred spirit in the White House now!
If the Pilgrims had not established a compact giving God credit, how could Obama lend credence to his support of gay marriage?
And, if there were no emancipation proclamation, how could we elect a black man as president?
Hereafter, he can publish the Obama “History of the world part III!”
Obviously all history leads to and passes through the White House!
What a crock!!

Next he’ll try to update the Bible : “And Moses gathered his people, and he led them out of bondage, just like Obama did…”
They’ll add some stuff about Jesus supporting ObamaCare, too.
