Obama vandalizes WH presidential biographies byPhilip Klein Senior Editorial Writer
Share on emailShare on printFollow on Twitter:Conservatives are having a laugh after it surfaced that the official presidential biographies on the White House website have been updated to inject President Obama into history. But kidding aside, this is a truly disgraceful behavior. In the most egregious example, noted by the Heritage Foundation's Rory Cooper, the official Ronald Reagan biography is appended with the note: "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 Buffet Rule." (Over at Commentary, Seth Mandel has a roundup of more examples.) Put aside the fact that what Reagan was proposing in 1985 had nothing to do with the Buffett Rule. Obama should not vandalize his predecessors' biographies to promote his own agenda.

Obviously, as president, Obama can use the tools of the White House to advance his goals. But at the same time, all presidents are to some extent guardians of the institution. Sure, a lot of the White House website is naturally going to be used to promote Obama, but there are some areas that should be considered neutral ground -- one of them being the history sections. White House presidential biographies are the type of thing that school kids read and they should be able to do so without being bombarded by propaganda for whoever is in power. I'm sure that during the Social Security debate in 2005, if President Bush had updated the biographical page to say that he was trying to preserve FDR's original vision for Social Security, liberals would have been up in arms. And if Mitt Romney wins in November, I'm sure liberals won't want him to use the presidential biographies for self-promotion, either.

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.

Obama trying to compare himself to Reagan? Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahah aha!!!

How come he doesn't compare himself to Clinton? First he compared himself to Lincoln. Then Roosevelt... And, Now Reagan...

He's having a nervous breakdown.

he vandalizes ever thang.
he will fraud his way back in with a few more ACORNS!

I expect they will vandalize the White House before they leave too. Bill and Hillary did and also stole a lot of stuff.

Nutbags.... enjoy Obama's next 4 years. Your boy Biff Romney is going to get his ass kicked.

Not according to the polls.

I'm sure before it's over Obama will rewrite "The Lord Of The Rings"... And it will be him who destroyed the ring at Mt. Doom... Froto and Sam won't even be mentioned.

I went yesterday and got a new tattoo on my arm of Obama, today, the arm doesn't work. lol

stop spending my tax money......get a job....get off the gov tit.

The Buffet Rule must be getting ready to pass --> the Republicans are searching for a way to take credit

The only Buffet Rule obammy or Buffet adheres to is make all you can screw the little people and keep every dime you can.

Actions (their tax returns) speak much louder than words.

Sheeple.
