The President's team has been inserting Obama's name into the biographies of almost all the former President's of the 20th century since Coolidge on the White House web site in the form of bullet points (did you know ?)bragging about his own accomplishments . What an ego he must have !

Here are some 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.
Harry S. Truman | The White House
•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.”
Lyndon B. Johnson | The White House
•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.
Franklin D. Roosevelt | The White House
•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.

Well Rove's Crossroads Superpac had some fun with the President's ego in these 2 ads :
American Crossroads: "Great" - YouTube

American Crossroads: "Great II" - YouTube

The one exception to this is poor Gerald Ford

You mean he had no accomplishments that President Obama can't take credit for ?

[hauntinghelper]

Doesn't surprise me one bit that our great dictator would do that.

[paraclete]

A legitimate tactic

[talaniman]

Presidents are people too!

[paraclete]

Really I thought that in your neck of the woods they were second only to God

[speechlesstx]

Clete, only good liberals worship The One.

[talaniman]

Worship is a strong word, prefer, as in whomever republican can find, is a better one. Righties love folks with money, no matter how they got it, but hate folks who have none, for whatever reason they don't.

Just an observation.

Copy/paste from many sources including: Historic Obama—A Fledgling Fark In the Making
I guess it's today's talking point to be disseminated.

[tomder55]

Confirmed from many sources.. 1st heard it from the American Crossroads ad... now do you have any comment on the substance ? How lame our narcisst in chief is !

Of course he is used to altering and embellishing bio's... especially his own. Evidently he had no problem until he had ambitions for higher office that is , to let the narrative advance that he was born in Kenya .
Yeah that's right. That doesn't change my opinion that he is a natural born citizen qualified for the Presidency. (his mother is American ) But I have to wonder what was the advantage of letting his publisher's bio of him go uncorrected between 1991 when his publisher's bio said he was born in Kenya ;until 2007 when he began to insist he was born in Hawaii. Unless he really wasn't born there..

The Compost can dig up details of Romney's high school past ;but did not take the time to vet this minor detail of the President's past ?
Immediate questions come to light; since the revelation that Elizabeth Warren has used a minor heritage to the Cherokee to great advantage; how often did Obama use the fact that he was a Kenysan to his advantage ?
Was the "born in Kenya?" meme used in 1975 for the prep school application filled out by the grandparents? Was it used for the visa application to Indonesia in 74-75 filled out by his mother? Was it used for Occidental in 1979? For the Columbia transfer in 1981? For Harvard Law? We could possibly know that if any of his records were released.

But I really don't get this altering of the former President's bios . He has made the claim that he is the 4th best President ever. Is this his way of reinforcing that outrageous claim ?

Speaking of our narcissistic president, check out the official White House photo for Memorial Day, the day we celebrate veterans who gave everything for their country.



He must have done something really spectacular to deserve his reflection, complete with halo, as the overlay to Vietnam's war dead. Oh that's right, he didn't serve.

[NeedKarma]

It shows that he was there paying homage without making the picture about him.

My my, it's all really pathetic the trouble you guys go through.

He was 14 when the war ended, but the candidate you want went to France as a missionary, and lived off his daddys stock bonds, and none of his FIVE sons has served anything either, I mean just saying.Its okay to be a missionary with bonds to live off in a foreign land, and have a few swiss bank accouts and off shore holding while you are unemployed too!

If I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, I would be sucking on it forever too!

You must live in some "opposite world" where everything means the opposite to you of what the reality is. That's pathetic.

And here I thought the Dems like rich people from Mass.

I'll bet a thousand bucks that when Romney is president he won't insert himself into the biographies of past presidents or make everything about him as this imbecile does. This a guy that referenced himself 104 times in his last SOTU speech. Memorial Day was about the fallen heroes, period, this photo is an insult to their memory. You can't get get around that no matter how you spin.

[tomder55]

Obama the egomaniac has no shame . I can't believe anyone thinks his superimposing his silhouette on the Vietnam War Memorial Wall is in good taste.

[NeedKarma]

It's his shadow! LOL!

[speechlesstx]

It's his shadow! LOL!

Thank you for that helpful bit of irrelevance. I called it his "reflection" in the first post and tom referred to his "silhouette." It's an absolute, inexcusable disgrace no matter what you call it and you laughing about it show how little respect you have for our fallen heroes as well.

[talaniman]

The righties revert to there true hateful selves after Memorial Day, and start talking crazy about things they see as an affront to patriotism, or their version of it. Best let them enjoy their coffee together and get their hate out of them.

[NeedKarma]

This is too funny. I've never seen such an over-sensitive emotional reaction to a shadow before. Can't imagine living my life being offended by everything everyday.
