In case you did not know, there is a biography of each president and First Lady in the official White House website.
It's supposed to be about history, unity and connecting our 44 presidents.
We learned that Pres BO is now "present" in many of the biographies. Let me explain:
"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."
"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."
My first reaction was to laugh and filed this under a Dennis Miller joke on The O'Reilly Factor.
My second reaction was to get angry. In other words, is there a limit to this man's narcissism?
My third reaction was to ask whether anyone at this White House is over 15 years old.
I can understand an isolated reference to Pres FDR, a popular connection for many Dems. Or, a connection to Pres LBJ and some of the Great Society legislation of the 1960s.
Again, this is so weird that you have to wonder about the people working in this government.
Who came up with this idea?
Perhaps it was the same one who thought that creating a distraction such as "the GOP war on women" would help Pres BO.
Or, perhaps it was the guy who wrote that unemployment would not rise over 8% if we passed the stimulus of early '09.
Or, perhaps it was the expert who thought that sending Pres BO to a Hollywood fundraiser the day after the "same sex marriage" announcement was a good idea.
I don't know what "expert" came up with this one about inserting Pres BO in the biographies of other presidents. I don't think that he is much of an expert.
