Inserted into Presidential Biographies

Obama as Zelig. [Link]

Imagine the emotional insecurities of a grown man who would have henchman find and gratuitously insert even the faintest link between this 44th president and almost every president back to Calvin Coolidge --"On Feb. 22, 1924 Calvin Coolidge became the first president to make a public radio address to the American people.....President Obama became the first president to hold virtual gatherings and town halls."

Franklin D. Roosevelt -- "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."

Herbert Hoover -- "President Herbert Hoover signed the bill founding the Department of Veterans Affairs July 21, 1930. President Obama is committed to making sure that the VA, the second-largest cabinet department, serves the needs of all veterans and provides a seamless transition from active duty to civilian life,..."

For President John F. Kennedy the insert notes that he began the Peace Corps while "President Obama celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps with a Presidential Proclamation." (Wow, an entire proclamation!)

President Bill Clinton -- "...President Obama has worked with Clinton to make buildings in our country more efficient...."

President George H.W. Bush -- "President Barack Obama awarded George H.W. Bush the 2010 Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor...." (So, Bush didn't earn it so much as Obama awarded it.)

President James Carter -- "In 1977, President Jimmy Carter created the Department of Energy; today the DOE works with the Obama Administration to drive towards innovation in energy and reducing reliance on foreign oil with an 'all of the above' approach."

(A good thing the Energy Department works with the Obama administration since the Energy Department is part of the Obama administration. And what about all the Solyndra loans?)

President Ronald Reagan -- "President Reagan designated Martin Luther King Jr. Day a national holiday; today the Obama Administration honors this tradition, with the First and Second Families participating in service projects on this day."
