"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.

By 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."

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.

Is it a violation of copyright laws to edit the articles?

President John F. Kennedy famously suggested the American people: “Ask what you can do for your country.” 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 Corps with a Presidential Proclamation.

I just saw this on HotAir too . . . unfrickenbelievable!!!  If this man's head gets any bigger . . .   Does he have Stalin's propagandists working for him and re-writing history?? We have the smallest man in the country sitting in its highest seat. 

This is really deplorable!

Supposedly it's a big trending topic on Twitter #ObamainHistory.  I don't tweet but it would be interesting to see how it's being goofed on (because you know it is!)

I am so sick and ****ing tired of this asshole's megalomania, and I've said that only yesterday.  I can't take any more of him!

njpines, I don't tweet either, but I go to Twitchy.com to see what's being said.  Also Bally's a great twitter correspondent for us. 

On August 21, 1959 Hawaii became a state of the union so Obama would be eligible to be President. #ObamaInHistory

General Eisenhower invaded Europe. Historians rank this as almost as audacious as Pres. Obama's Bin Laden raid. #ObamaInHistory—

Oh well, first mistake I have ever made.........................................today.

Talk about someone desperate to stay in the spotlight.

It's like a little kid jumping up and down going "me too me too".

What a douchebag.  Two autobiographies isn't enough for this clown? 

Hey Barry... stick to your own bio, you moocher.

Not only is The "one' in a neck to neck race with Carter to be the worst President ever he is also neck to neck with carter in attempting to create a relevant legacy.  It's going to be interesting to hear Obumblers spin doctoring post Presidency.

I'm hoping that Romney will delete those additions as unneeded.

#ObamaInHistory Obama invents first horseless carriage, quits riding Michelle, who is mistaken for a horse by many.

#ObamaInHistory On the evening of Tue,Nov 6,2012 Obama makes history by giving the worlds shortest concession speech: "I meant to do that"

#ObamaInHistory Earlier prez followed doctrine "Manifest Destiny". Obama, 1st Gay President, favors "Mani-pedifest Destiny"

Another Twitter hashtag debacle.... #Obamainhistory

#Obamainhistory Washington could not tell a lie, Nixon could not tell the truth, Obama can't tell the difference

I honestly thought this was a joke.  Nope. I'll let Commentary's Seth Mandel take it from here:
 

    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).


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.

    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'm sure these former presidents are just thrilled that Obama administration officials have taken it upon themselves to self-servingly edit their public biographies for political purposes.  I mean, what good is history if Obama can't repurpose it for his own glorification?  Conservatives have jumped all over this on twitter, creating an #ObamaInHistory hashtag, which became the top-trending topic in the United States.  Click through and browse.  It's great fun.

UPDATE - On a policy note, here's a helpful primer on why Reagan would not have supported the so-called "Buffett Rule," contra the White House's biography vandalism.  Obama's current plan would (a) double-down on the Alternative Minimum Tax disaster, which Congress has to fix every single year to avert middle class pain, and (b) fetch roughly $30 Billion in revenues over the next ten years.  Obama's budget would add $11 Trillion to the gross national debt over the same period.

Pure, unadulterated narcissism.  It's what makes him think that he can do no wrong in his quest for another term.
