How do you feel about President Obama inserting himself into other presidential biographies on the White House website?

I saw this on POlitico.com.

What are your thoughs? Was it a good decision or a bad one?

It doesn't matter ....but the RNC is having a hissy fit, as if they have any right to criticizing the White House's Website. It isn't their choice.
Do we know who makes these entries on the Website? Does it say that Obama made these little additions? No, it doesn't. Could it be that staff and Obama got together for campaign purposes, came up with some ideas and decided on that approach?

Your reply doesn't surprise me a bit. Neither would your reply if Bush, or any republican, had done this. I'm sure you'd be saying completely different things. SMH

I have to LOL when you ladies (?) accuse him of being a narcissist. That's so funny. ARe any of you psychologists? Psychiatrists? HAve a degree in Psychology? Any degree?
The RNC tweaks Obama....LOL. Same old ,same old.

Honestly? The man needs a shrink. I'm not sure what is wrong with his ego, but for crying out loud get it under control. It's not all about
'him'. The bio pages are there for each individual president, and no one else has ever felt any need to tamper with them or add their own name to any previous president. It's pathetic.

This comment on the article made me giggle: "In 33 A.D., Jesus Christ died to save you from your sins. Today, President Obama continues to save you from the sins of those evil conservatives."

As far as Obama putting those "factoids" at the end of the biographies of other presidents... I find it rather arrogant. Then again, I'm really not surprised he would do this.

Not surprised. Probably something he's done all his life and the lie just keeps getting bigger.
some dumb libs still like him even when he smacks of more and more desperation on a daily basis.

It was a very bad decision. Really? He's going back to people who were president before he was even born and hitching his little red wagon to their stars? He has been inserted into EVERY president's bio except Ford's. Tell me how he can possibly be truly connected to Taft, Jackson, Washington? Any of them?

Bad move, very bad move.

Is that what they're supposed to do? Govern? I thought they were supposed to stick theirselves in every bit of history, go on late night TV, early morning TV and magazine interviews all the while pay them and the SS to do this. I didn't know we paid them to actually work like the rest of us.
