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.
Reminds me of how the Korean Central New Agency treats Kim Jong IL etc.
I thought the same thing. How much longer until we are only allowed to address him as "Dear Leader"?
I don't know but I usually refer to him as The Sh*t.
The simple fact is that BO ALWAYS stinks!
"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. n nBy 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." n n
Absolutely hilarious!!
Perfect!!
MK Daspit wins the thread!
love your comment, biting attack with good satire, makes for great reading.
He looks like the Lawgiver from planet of the _pes.
Best. Comment. Ever!
That is awesome
Obama is a pathetic loser
..or the antics of the other dictator with grandiose syndrome-Hugo Chavez.
The Narcissist-in-Chief is just too proud, like a mama, of hiss-damned-seff. If only everyone ELSE would just reee-alize how good he is!
this is super childish.
Ok. So, how did this happen and how can these bullet points be removed,if at all ?! I keep saying, BHO has the two most dangerous personality flaws: arrogance and narcissism.
Can you blame him? He was elected President with a blank resume. That's got to go to your head.
That and his outright childishness. Not the innocence and purity of childhood either!
You've forgotten "megalomania" and "a messianic complex".
They should be able to be removed the same way they were put in, edit the content. Hopefully someone will have the "cajones" to order it done when bho goes back to wherever he came from.
He forgot one, He's the only affirmation action president, which should be placed within Nixon's bio.
Listed as mental illness
The man backs it up, tool!
I don't understand how he could be narcissistic! It's like every time any page, anywhere, has any fact about him we flood it with comments, with our overpowering obsession for him! Even if our comments are almost exactly the same as earlier comments! I can't think about anybody else! Ahhh! Obama! Obama! Get out of my head!
Can they be removed? Of course they can, unless you are a perpetual victim. ANYTHING that is put on the internet can be removed. Who pray tell gave permission to this poseur to rewrite history?
When your only achievement is miscounting actual states and pronouncing a simple common military word like corpsman twice in the same speech without correcting yourself, it's pretty clear you are an affirmative action puppet for someone with their hand up your ass.
Yeah, amazing how Bin Laden's head just miraculously exploded on its own last year. That was incredibly lucky.
Yep, you are right, your hero, heroically, repelled out of a helicopter in full military gear, and at great risk to himself fought his way into Bin Laden's compound and off'ed him all by himself. n nIt was incredibly fortunate that we'd gotten the information that ultimately led to Bin Laden before they Obama and other's like him pressured GWB into shutting down the stressful interrogation techniques for a few high value targets. Nothing like getting the benefits of the hard work of others and hedging your bets and not f***ing up in letting a general give the order. n nYep, he did it by himself. Only he could have personally got Bin Laden.
Lucky? No the Navy Seals and other military personnel who were involved in taking out Bin Laden had worked many hard long days and nightsfor months on end, earning their specialized training. Obama learned to do his part in the third grade….well the rest of us did, I'm not sure how old they are before they learn to sign their name over there in Indonesia…and Obama is a bit slow, so it could have been forth grade I guess!
Since he has no accomplishments of his own worthy of listing, he is forced to ride the coat tails of others. And gigireceda is absolutely right. But they are more flaws of character than of personality!
Maybe he's just following some awesome role models–Reagan and the others–and simply pointing it out to us. He got bin Laden, added jobs, killed some pirates, and passed healthcare. I feel safer and more confident with this competent black man in the oval office–so much more than the incurious white guy who got us into this mess. I guess i'm a little out of touch with the typical commentary fan, whom I believed to be more intellectual and thoughtful than this. Aren't us jews supposed to be more cerebral and educated. Not seeing it here. n n
nObama's Narcissism is showing…… n nIs Obama inching his way to Malignant Narcissism? When he loses in November; will his wrath lash out at those around him?
I think he's already been there long before we ever heard of him!
So What it is HIS page not the Whitehouse buildings page!! nGo him! And I am sure others actually did it!
r u really that dumb – it is the office of the White House which is NOT Obummer. he just happens to be squatting there now but it is the peoples house and it is the peoples page. Please crawl under a rock – again.
Support a "loser". Be a LOSER
Um, no. It is NOT his page. It is the OFFICIAL White House website. The biographies were the official biographies of Presidents who preceded Obama. It's a BIOGRAPHY. Perhaps I should define the word for you: "An account of someone's life" Obama wasn't even ALIVE when Coolidge was President – so WHY is his name even associated with Coolidge's biography?!? Duh – because he's a pathological narcissist who will do anything to make it 'all about HIM'. (The same goes for the other Presidents whose biographies were defaced by Obama.) Disgusting and deplorable actions from a man who is supposed to be acting with dignity and decorum in the highest office in the land!
I wish I could say I was surprised. As it is, I'm just disgusted.
This is disgusting.
Just when you think the Scum Obama Administration can't get any lower, they lower the floor… unreal… but frankly, not surprising.
They've been adding sub-basement levels for a long time now!
Narcissism is one thing, but this President is pathological.
What makes it so galling is that every single one of those statements he inserted is a falsehood. For instance, his Obamacare is actually designed to BANKRUPT Medicare TWELVE YEARS FROM NOW. His "death panels" will cut those seniors loose and essentially tell them to go home and off themselves and get out of the way. n nIt's chilling to realize that this behavior — both the lying and the self-glorification — is characteristic of every communist tyrant. Think Mao Tse-Tung.
Michelle said it all, 'We should be GRATEFUL that Barry is our president!' n nHahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!
In a strange way I am, after preaching the dangers of liberal stupidity to family and friends for over 20 years, it's nice to see they finally got what they have been praying for and hurt themselves so badly electing this puppet head as President. I am going to throroughly enjoy watching him get chewed to shreds in November and rubbing all my family and friends noses in it.
hahahahaqhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah n nI actually am grateful to have a smart honest prez.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahha n nthat's a joke, right?
You missed this one,r nr nr nPresident John F. Kennedy famously suggested the American people: u201cAsk what you can do for your country.u201d 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 Corpsu00a0with a Presidential Proclamation.r nr nthis guy is a joke.
i don't get it….why is this a problem for you? Why are you so irritated by this? Peace Corps a bad thing now because the black guy celebrates it?
I'll explain it for you. He is inserting himself into the biographies of presidents that have very little to do with him. He is "piggybacking" (not a word I know) off the accomplishments of others. n nAlso, you do yourself a disservice by bringing race into the discussion. No one cares that the is black. By you insinuating that the OP is upset because Obama is black, you are derailing the conversation and stifling discussion. By playing the race card, you are showing off your racism.
How does that belong in JFK's bio??? Put it in Obama's bio when it goes up on the web as a former president. Presidential bios are reserved for those presidents – not for their successors! That is what is wrong with it!
Obviously Ayantika Knott can't be bothered to actually read the article and ensuing comments from readers on the subject at hand.
Who siad anything about black?
Maybe he's just following some awesome role models–Reagan and the others–and simply pointing it out to us. He got bin Laden
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT, that one…GOD! Why wasn't that day declared a National, NO, a WORLD Holiday?!? Think about it…there could be a day off, parades, even Best Buy sales weekends for "World Celebrates Obama's Proclamation of Kennedy's Peace Corps Day"…No, better make that "World Celebrates Obama's Proclamation of Kennedy's, But Obama WOULD Have Created It, Peace Corps Day"…
In the 2008 version of the White House's Presidential biographies, there are other incidents of policy continuations – but only for Vice Presidents who succeeded in office: n – “Van Buren's remedy–continuing Jackson's deflationary policies–only deepened and prolonged the depression.” n – “In June 1945 Truman witnessed the signing of the charter of the United Nations, hopefully established to preserve peace. Thus far, he had followed his predecessor's policies, but he soon developed his own.” n – “First he [Johnson] obtained enactment of the measures President Kennedy had been urging at the time of his death–a new civil rights bill and a tax cut.” n nSometimes, though, it went the other way: n- “Thus the sudden accession of Fillmore to the Presidency in July 1850 brought an abrupt political shift in the administration. Taylor's Cabinet resigned” n nAnd a sop to the future: n- “At the end of his administration [Benjamin] Harrison submitted to the Senate a treaty to annex Hawaii; to his disappointment, President Cleveland later withdrew it.” n nNot that past President's didn't continue or develop programs from their predecessors. Indeed, many of them served other Presidents in appointed positions. But the biographic records during their presidencies are kept as biographies of that presidency, not paeans to their legacies for some future suck-up to exploit. n nOh, and they are all about a page long – I wonder how lengthy Obama's will be when he leaves office…?
Romney should stay above the fray, but RNC should really get ahold of this and all the comments on Twitchy. They'll have BHO the laughingstock in no time!!
Calling him a laughingstock is like adding a cup of water to the ocean and calling it wet. n nWe're already there!
According to the WH website: "The Presidential biographies on WhiteHouse.gov are from “The Presidents of the United States of America,” by Michael Beschloss and Hugh Sidey. Copyright 2009 by the White House Historical Association.". nWon't Micheal and Hugh be pleased with the additions that give some contemporary relevance to their rather pedestrian bio-sketches? n
And God said, "Let there be light. And, there was light." Today, President Obama carries on God's magnificent work with the Cap & Trade Energy Plan currently being stalled by Republicans in the House.
and on the 7th day…Obama saved the earth by Uniting all the peoples of the planet under Himself and they all were grateful for him and despaired… omg… soon he will start demanding that journalists capitalize the h letter in Him He and Himself – he really has delusions of grandiour. n
Do yiu even know what Cap-and-Trade means?
I heard that Obama's going to have his head carved into Mount Rushmore in place of the other four presidents already there. n nThat's only a semi-joke. Because after this utterly childish, petty action of crashing and denigrating other president's biographies, it would not surprise me in the least if Obama were to announce that his face will replace those presidents already on Mt. Rushmore.
Defacing the webpages of other Presidents. Very thuggish and classic Obama.
He can't help it.. He's just "Tagging' the wall…
My God, just when you think you've figured out just how big this incompetent empty suit's ego is, he goes and does something like this and surprises you and you are FORCED to admit it's even bigger than you thought it was!
If only the "Where's Waldo" books were this easy. He's EVERYWHERE!
Soooooo true!!!!
The man is a disgrace.
We attribute this action to Obama himself. But I believe it is those who surround him, who prop him up, who "dress the Emperor" in his invisible clothes every day. Obama is clever, but not in control. He's their "agent", the guy the global power players sent in to flip the switches that the Leftist functionaries and regulators have been preparing for decades. To attribute all this to Obama gives him more credit than is his due. @Stadium Hopper put it perfectly: "When your only achievement is miscounting actual states and pronouncing a simple common military word like corpsman twice in the same speech without correcting yourself, it's pretty clear you are an affirmative action puppet for someone with their hand up your ass. " n nMichelle is there to make sure he doesn't screw up. Valerie Jarrett is there to make sure he carries out what he's ordered to do. Remember, Obama goes nowhere without his Blackberry… orders from headquarters. n nAnd if in this upcoming election Obama can't get the job done, they'll eliminate him (and turn him into a "martyr") and then blame the conservatives for doing the deed, giving these globalists perfect cover to clamp down on all of us. They've got it all figured out. n nso… what do we do about it??? n n
Conspiricy therioes aside (along with my spelling and grammar) – you've got it figured out! Obama is just one human being on a planet with billions of others and as far as the "globalists go, they too are just individuals no more capable of carrying out some giant interconnected coo then it is likely that Obama has the time (or the smarts himself) to sit at his desk and update the bios in question.____As for waht it is that "we" can do about it, well that answer is simple. Relax, get out and vote and then – This is the important part – support that vote with your ongoing service. Volunteer for a candidate whose mantra you can get behind and be an influence in the democratic process. Freedom is earned and the job of maintaining it never ends. Be vigilante. Be conservative. And carry that, yourself, with a conservative eye forward!
Do the right thing. Never be afraid of standing for what is right.
Get out and talk to your friends. We need to have California, New York, Oregon, Hawaii, Washington (I'm a left coaster…) all going to the red state column, and make this an election that will make 1984 look like a cake walk.
suck it, people.
We have been for 3 1/2 years.
Poor widdle milo likes to use lots and lots of profanity, when addressing people who make him feel small, or who present facts he can't face. This thread has gotten off easy. It's usually a lot more foul. n
Great Ceasars Ghost! How will we ever combat such elloquence. I must depart before you slay me with a well placed "Oh Yeah?!" or the dreaded "Says You!"
Moochelle told us that they were going to have to rewrite history, n nSeems the rewriting is happening and where is the lame stream lap dog media. n nOOPS now I know, they are complaining that they can't even get a poll that they do to show this clown in chief leading in thier own polls.
soon the calendar itself will be changed. nB.C. and A.D. will henceforth be known as nB.O. and A.O.—before obama and anno obama.
Somebody — can't remember who, but I think it was Spike Lee – already predicted that at the time of the Immaculation of The Dear Leader.
obama is more than a little emotionally disturbed.
This is just another symptom of this:r nr nVarious fantasy composite White Girlfriends: u201cI Love You.u201dr nr nObama: u201cI know.u201d
The Narcissist & Chief takes credit once more..for what he hasn't done!!!
This is just plain creepy…… It's like the Munsters are running the White House.
No way. None of the Munsters were that egotistical. Addams family, maybe. Maybe.
May I suggest the lack of Obama reference in Ford's bio be fixed this: n n"President Ford won the Republican nomination for the Presidency in 1976, but lost the election to his Democratic opponent, former Governor Jimmy Carter of Georgia (previously considered the worst President of all time until the election of Barack Obama)."
Watch for it. If/when the Republicans win the WH and start cleaning up the mess, including removing this narcissistic dreck, Democrats will scream that the Republicans are scouring Obama from the record. "It's a purge!" they will say, and a rewriting of history. n nWhen the Democrats smell a loss coming, they will do all they can to "poison the well", creating pitfalls for the Republicans to stumble into, thereby giving the Dems material for vocal criticism (and great copy, by the way, for the MSM). n nWe've seen it in the past: The Clinton Administration passed some really insane environmental laws in their last days in office, and then jumped all over the Republicans when they started to undo the damage. n nWatch for it! PsyWar is alive and well in the Democrat party.
From the official DPRK website for Kim Jong il… n nDid you know? nPresident Obama also shot 38 under par, including 11 holes in one, in his first golf outing.
I like your comment as much as the the creation satire posting. Very clever mind you have!
soon the calendar itself will be changed. nhenceforth years will no longer be B.C. or A.D. nthey will be B.O. and A.O.
I hope it's A.O. soon.
What is sad is that there are people around him that feed him this stuff….it's like Michael Jackson and his entourage….goofy and incestuous at the same time. How did he get there in the first place?
When President Jimmy Carter sought reelection, he lost to his Republican opponent 489 to 49 Electoral votes. President Obama is going to do even worse.
A minor correction. It's not "The One", it's DUH WON. We lost.
Hear ! Hear ! n
Where's Anonymus when you need them. This website of the president's would be a great site to crash.
Does Obama have a SEVERE EGO Problem? r nShould he be treated? r nWill Obamacare cover the treatment?
Given the totalitarian regime level of this kind of revisionism, one can only wonder how long it will be until we see a 50 ft. statue of our black Il Duce, standing heroically with his nose in the air in the midst of a newly-commissioned fountain in the middle of the Pennsylvania Ave. NW and First St. NW traffic circle in front of the U.S. Capitol building.
I suppose it won't be long until Barack Obama insinuates his name and "accomplishments" into biographical blurbs of other famous leaders, such as Winston Churchill, Golda Meir, Ghandi, or Jesus of Nazareth.
The sun rose this morning and like tha narcissistic rooster he is, Obama took credit for it.
…And when it stormed in Virginia , he blamed Bush…
I have linked this revealing appropriation of history to my post on: The Arrogance of Incompetency. Now the slogan of the 2012 Democrats' Presidential Campaign can be amended to "FORWARD and BACKWARD."
How pathetic can this fool get? November cannot come quick enough…
Pathetic, but oh so typical of our "Narcissist-in-Chief"
… we have always been at war with Eastasia. n nmy apologies to Orwell
The White House Historical Society and Michael Beschloss and Hugh Sidney have copyright authority as well as acknowledged territorial rights and interests in the content and maintenance of that page. It is worse than impolitic to trample those interests in a short sighted political campaign. Does the Obama staff really want to flip off the Historical Society like this? How could the Democratic Party machine really let the Obama staff continue to make such unforced errors? Social and diplomatic protocol standards should never have been permitted to fail and it is a measure of how the Obamas are viewed within the party that they let them continue in this vein.
Obama will be very unhappy with his place in history.
Does the term "nutsy, f—ing cuckoo" fit this incident?
March 30, 1981 – Barack Obama takes a bullet in the ass while carrying Reagan on his back to the hospital.
It seems only a matter of time before the President finds himself captured by his own reflection in the mirror, a la Narcissus
I suppose it's all how you look at it. Going to the biographies and reading them myself, I notice that his comments could be viewed as a salute to past presidents and what they worked for. He doesn't take credit for what they did. He acknowledges the importance of what they've done, and emphasizes his desire to continue in the footsteps of wise men who came before him. Criticism of this is rather petty.
Obama is aspiring to be Zelig, putting himself into the center of other leaders' historical events, because he cannot claim enough of his own. He owns a Nobel Peace Prize for–what?–approving the killing of Osama bin Laden? His constant efforts to revive his association with that singular event will lead future school children to constantly confuse Osama bin Laden with Barack Hussein Obama and Saddam Hussein.
You are wrong. He is not saluting other presidents…he is superimposing himself ontheir past glory. It's like your mom's new husband cutting and pasting himself into your childhood photos and attemting to insert himself into your memories…its just WRONG. n
the President is simply stating the achievements of his predecessors and highlighting his efforts to sustain those achievements. It makes sense for the current President to relate recurring themes to his current administration. That's what matters. Now. Just because Republican sensationalists need things to say other than "he's a muslim" or "he's a socialist" or "he's unamerican," Commentary (and the Heritage Foundation, unsurprisingly) decides to drum up a non-issue from the website. You guys should start reporting real news or just shut down. Otherwise you're simply polluting people's minds and media.
Yes, there is the axiom "a best defense is a good offense," but when the act is indefensible, the attempt just looks pathetic. There is no hyperbole in this article, just a cataloging of the biographical corruption committed by one who is clearly a narcissist. n nHe can't run on his record, so he has to stand on the shoulders of those who came before him. n nActually, it's more like he's skipping from shoulder to shoulder. I'll say it again: pathetic.
Of course, but conservatives are too stupid to learn the truth.
What truth is that? That the selective editing of history, to benefit the current executive in power, is a hallmark of fascist and communist regimes? We conservatives know that fact, all too well.
Will King Odumba the Dog Eater also interject himself into the presidency of James Buchanan; the original "first gay president"?
Deus majorest, non Obama.
November 2008, "The One" was elected into the White House…since then "The One" has become a huge "Number Two"
This just sounds sad and needy.
Obama is a legend (in his own mind)…..
saddam hussein did the same thing to ancient ruins in Iraq.
So the President has just admitted in his 3 years he has done nothing original and in fact has simply coasted. Guess that explains all the free time for golf and vacations.
Obama is just flat out the most INEPT, nerdy, loser we've ever had as President. This guy literally couldn't run a McDonald's or 7-11 (way too LAZY for a real job). This information just reaffirms how pathetic he is……
Just petty. n
I used to be disgusted but now I try to be amused.
Can the next president just add "<—- Can you believe this clown?" to all of Obama's additions?
Good God, has this guy no humility?
he should add:r nr n1) Worst president in the history of USAr n2) accumulated trillions in less than 4 yearsr n3) class warfarer n4) Ineligible President of USA r n…….
Barack Obama has been placing his name throughout the internet on almost any and every subject matter or within and embedded into a host of historical documents. He's making sure that his name will be visible forevermore. It's the height of arrogance brought about by his egotistical narcissistic nature to be seen as responsible for almost every thing on earth. When he must be one of the most pathetic souls to have ever walked the face of this earth, or else he's the devil himself in a cheap suit.
Except, each quoted point is a fact. n nWhat is wrong with quoting historical fact? n nThis is exactly the same as if John McCain were to say he can't use email. So what?
Wow, the “ONE” can time travel to previous presidencies.
It's like some weird neo-Stalinist rewrite of history. It would be funny if it weren't so scary.
This has GOT to be an "ONION" satire piece. n nObama can't REALLY be that much of a narcissist CAN he,… nIF this IS true,.. IT WILL go viral on the net,… n nand good ol'e Barry WILL become MORE of a laughing stock than he already IS. n nAlinsky's technique at it's best. REVERSE Alinsky that is.
Kind of irritating to have someone take credit for something they did not do. Such is the case with this angry monkey you call your president. Can not beleive all of the acomplishments he had nothing to do with yet takes credit for them. kind of sickening especially when you measure all his failures up against any of his accomplishments none of which i can think of at this time. Remind me. What has this failure done, besides cry all the time, blame others for his failures and continue to flush this country down the toilet.
Imagine the type of people who would vote for this poor example of a man…just think of what all of his little bootlickers are doing to our laws and regulations, time to cut out the cancer
I keep wondering what we did to deserved this buffoon as our president, why would Obumble need to insert himself in other presidents life biographies? I think it's rude.
This egomaniac is pathological. I used to think he should be in front of a firing squad nut now I have to say a mental ward for some very strong medications and lots of years of intense therapy should come first, then the firing squad. We don't want him to miss all the fun.
Is there any better evidence that the Stammering Ignoramus-in-Chief has no respect for this country and its traditions? This fool squandered the honor bestowed on him by the people of the US.
The man cannot resist sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. Sort of sums up the problem we have with him…he wants to be involved in EVERYTHING.
Did you know? …that Obama is a narcissistic megalomaniac, just like William Jefferson Clinton.
NOVEMBER CANT GET HERE SOON ENOUGH, I HOPE MITT ROMNEY UNDOES EVERYTHING THIS ASSHAT HAS DONE. WHAT A DOUCHEBAG
In Genesis, Noah saved dogs by putting them on the Ark. President Obama has eaten dogs.
I would expect nothing less from the sociopath in chief
Silly, yet illuminating. Perhaps they just hired an SEO expert and wanted to improve Obama's standing with Presidential achievements on some data mining scale. Whatever the motive or method, this story plays into an increasingly persuasive narrative that this administration is prone to a "cult of personality" ethos. Ironically, this juvenile attempts to boost Obama's statue will only erode his status as the current POTUS.
Our Narcissist and Chief is at it again.
"In the beginning God created heaven and earth; nthen there was nothing, until nin 2008 Barack Obama created a new beginning ".
This is a very bizarre "article." Seth Mandel is indignant that Obama is touting his accomplishments — every one of them true (and none of them challenged by Mandel) — for some reason, as if presidents haven't been doing the same thing since jimboree. What is it about Obama that makes people like Mandel and the crazed tide of commenters here think the current president is so different? I wonder what it could it be…
Definition of Pathological Narcissism: n“A psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem. An obsession with one’s self and the ruthless pursuit of one’s gratification, dominance and ambition.” n nPS- Next to the definition, Obama’s mug(shot) is prominently featured.
The LIAR in Chief is not called The Narcissistic Man Child in the Oval Office for NOTHING !!! nGeography apparently taught HIM that the world revolves around HIM !!!
While there's a question as to why Ford doesn't have an Obama reference (yet), none of the presidents pre-Coolidge have the "Did You Know" feature at the bottom where Obama inserts himself. n nOdds are pretty good that unless these entries are scrubbed (screenshots, anyone), there's a good chance the other presidents will also get their Obama links. How could he pass up another opportunity to attach himself to Abraham Lincoln, FDR, and others?
Hey, at least the other Presidents knew how many states there were in the Union when they took office! Spare me, Obummer, you don't know enough about the states or the Constitution to occupy the leadership position of this country. You and your wife are both an embarrassment to the country. To be continued……………….
Wow, all of you should be ashamed of yourselves for consuming this biased media and not checking the facts for yourselves. There is barely anything changed, and all of it is at the end of the pages in Did You Know? sections. They are not part of the actual biography, and saying the additions are on all the pages is a lie.
the PUNK known as obama just never ceases to amaze me………………….it is very depressing for America
what an arrogant POS. Every day I see something else to make me dispise this SOB
If this is happening now, one must wonder how far this narcissistic liar may take it if he indeed has a chance to be "more flexible" after the 2012 elections. n n>>> GET OBOZO OUT OF WHITE HOUSE! <<<
The Narcissist-in-Chief marking his territory
Misleading as per usual, actually look at the pages before buying this. As was earlier pointed out there are additional "Did You Know" sections under the biographies which allow you to put past and present accomplishments in perspective. This biographies are typically rather ignored, so this appears to have been a good idea as at least Conservative Staffers are being made to read them all now. And where was the Heritage Foundation when the Bush administration actually rewrote the Biographies, downplaying Democratic achievements and actually listing Ronald Reagan as "Ushering in a Golden Age.."
Attention ladies and gentlemen and you racist ! You have finally lived to see history being made in America .Something that racist never thought would happen. However it did and thank god for America during my life time . I'm proud to say I've lived through One of the most difficult times in American history and seen an African American /Irish American [BARACK OBAMA ]become the greatest American hero America has ever seen before. This president BARACK OBAMA ]will go on and continually make great strides regardless of the knuckleheads and racist that unfortunately continually exist . I do expect the knuckleheads replies , but that's OK The losers are just looking for attention they wouldn't get normally.
This is simply disgusting ! Is there nothing this man won' t do to lift himself ? This guy is an egomaniacle narcissistic loser . We gotta get this America Idol ,media made propagandist out of the people's White House , NOW ! It seems this guy sinks to a new low every single day ! ENOUGH
This could be a well – intentioned effort to get POTUS's younger supporters to pay attention to history, but then, I don't expect the ideologues at Commentary to see it that way. n nThen, there's this: "No wonder (Obama) always seems so proud of himself." n nWhy not just call him "uppity," Mr. Mandel? I know you're itching to.
Really? Did anyone who is sitting here whining about our President even bother to check the authors facts? None of these biographies have these statements within the text. Only at the end of the page at the very bottom is there a "Did you Know?" bubble that provides these bullets that relates to that presidents administration to the current one. Not Claiming credit for what that president did. Seems like the majority of members on this site would rather whine and complain than actually do the 5 minute check to see what really is there. Ignorance is bliss.
This is silly. It's done with each president to show the historical context. Judge president Obama on his many accomplishments such as providing health care, capturing OBL, etc.. I am proud that he is our president and will actively campaign for him to serve another term.
Those that know me know I’ve no particular love [understatement of the year] for O, but I looked [for the 3rd time] and cannot find any revisions, nor even mention of the O in any presidential bio but his own. Can anyone show me where these revisions are?
The need for the Obama administration, whether the direct order of the president, or from some underling, to interject themselves into the bios of other presidents speaks to a desperate need to be considered relevant. Even if not Obama, it speaks to a pervasive inferiority complex that permeates the Oval Office.
Did President Bush feel the need to include mention of himself in the bios of other presidents? The Administration's desire to do this speaks to an inferiority complex that permeates the Oval Office, a need for relevance. With no accomplishments to run on (why isn't he talking about passing healthcare at every stop?), adding yourself to other presidential bios seems very small-minded. n
Historically it's a novel problem, but there is an argument to be made that the whitehouse.gov www site is not meant to be a subsidized campaign blog. While cleansing it of politicized wording may be practically impossible, any POTUS who uses it for mere grandstanding and publicity, Ingsoc-style, is clearly violating the American self-conceit of permanent institutions of the republic administered by transitory citizen officials. n nBut probably now every .gov site is this bad.
Magnificent web site. Plenty of useful info here. I am sending it to some buddies ans also sharing in delicious. And certainly, thanks on your sweat!
The "Did you know?"…IS the bullets added to mention Obama.. n nDo you know what a bullet is in typography?..apparently not. n nNo matter how you gloss it up its petty and shameful. So don't bother.
I've flunked better brains than you out of weed-out calculus. Watch your mouth, bugwit. Drinking the Kool-Aid isn't an intellectual credential.
Did You Know? There is nothing of any substance on President Obama's bio. Exactly why the White House is piggy backing on previous Presidents. They have accomplishments where BO has none.
Americans are more obese today than ever before. Michele and Barack are both reported to pig out on junk food when they think no one is watching. Their words do not match their deeds but what else is new?
Oooh, a Jim Jones reference, you must be intelligent… Tell me, how well has that Quiz Bowl calculus ability served you in Politics against the "Bugwits..?" At least you got to brag on the one Rain Man style ability you do have as "Grasping the Obvious" apparently Failed…
