I can’t take it anymore

Ok, if you don’t like politics, stop reading now, this is your only warning. Here we go,

Yesterday started off normal enough, getting the boys to school, the misses neck hurting, a few phone calls and errands for me and then I heard it. It seems our President (or someone that works for him) decided to go and change the biographies of almost every President in the last century to attach himself to their accomplishments. Can you believe it? Unbelievable, see for yourself,

The Obama White House is drawing ridicule for appending the official online biographies of nearly every president over the last century in order to link President Obama’s accomplishments to the former commanders in chief.

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.”
But wait, there’s more,

“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.”

And this, at the end of President Lyndon Johnson’s, drawing a link between his signing of Medicare and Obama’s signing of the health care overhaul:

“President Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare into law in 1965 — providing millions of elderly health care 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.'”

The changes also link Harry Truman’s call for civil rights to the Obama administration’s push to repeal “don’t ask, don’t tell.” And they link Jimmy Carter’s creation of the Department of Energy to Obama’s push for an “all of the above” energy approach today.

The Obama accomplishments cited range from the significant to the mundane.

On the bio of John F. Kennedy, the Obama staff cited the current president’s decision to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps with a “presidential proclamation,” as a way to link the current administration to Kennedy’s — which launched the Peace Corps.
Who knew he was a part of all the lives of these important men in history. At no time in history has a President changed the bios of former Presidents ever. And then to do it for political reasons, there’s only one word, shameless. I guess he wants us all to believe that he was part of every great historical event in our nations history, see for yourself,
