Obama...the arrogant douchebag of the century

Post by Kilmoll the Sexy »

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/05 ... ents-bios/
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."

Seriously? It will be a good day when King Obama is gone.

I don't see the outrage that FOX (and their mindless minions) apparently does. It's not like they are changing accomplishments of former presidents.

Obama is a joke. All he's looking for another 4 years to enjoy the lifestyle.

If Coolidge wanted his online biography to include more info, he should have had his own staff edit it!

If you really want to get down to it, I think most presidents are douchebags. It is how they got there to begin with. :)

Had Faux not brought it up who would have ever known or cared? Pres.next would've just wiped the entries and done the same.

If that's the best Fox News can do to stir up shit against Obama, he must be doing a pretty fucking good job!

No we wouldn't. I don't see the big deal. It's pointless yeah but in the end pretty harmless. Who even reads online biographies? FOX news, apparently!

yeah Bush only co-opted a whole aircraft carrier so he could pretend to be a fighter pilot that single-handedly won a war that hadn't even started yet.

I'm pretty sure you're getting dumber. I thought people got wiser as they aged but I actually think you're getting more stupid. like some intellectual benjamin button.

And you're probably right for one or two people, but that doesn't take away from the fact that PROBLEMS AREN'T ABOUT PRESIDENTS.

Mitt's first declaration will be to return all body armor in service in the US military and issue Mormon magic pajamas in their place. Except for niggers and faggots of course. Mormon Jesus still hates them as much as ever!

So, explaining how current presidential policy relates to past administrations is the height of arrogance? Compared to "I'm the decider!", seriously? Its better than the wholesale revisionism the GOP engages in on the Reagan and Bush 1&2 years all the time, thats for sure. I guess when your target audience is racist scared old white people who do not know how to fact check anything, let alone use the internet, this kind of bullshit flies. On the actual educated people, not so much....
War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .

Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.
--RICHARD M. NIXON, "REAL PEACE" (1983)

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

Dwight Eisenhower

scared people
"Scared people" sums it up, our society is going through a huge change. Frightened people and those who can be convinced they've been wronged by GroupX can be goaded into doing all sorts of ridiculous things against their own good. The major networks exploit this to sell more deodorant. All the while both sides are screwing the public in different ways for their own gain.

Plus they've been well trained to believe the media and not think too much. TV itself as a presentation method is to blame as well, the visuals effectively short circuit processing used in cataloging and storing the information contrasted to print or person to person communications.

I can think of dozens of well educated people without a lot of thought who buy into all sorts of incomprehensible (to me) things. Where the education (hopefully) kicks in is that they're generally able consider alternatives or that X might be wrong. Or have the ability to both disagree with something and concede that others have the right to it if they choose.

It took me stepping back and looking at what they've campaigned on vs. what they've done to change my mind. The current RNC is certainly not at all "conservative", the tea party might have been had they not been co-opted shortly after inception.

Sadly, the generation that gave us FDR's famous first inaugural speech also gave us the most fearful bunch of pussies ever: the boomers. Sometimes I want to vote for Romney just so they can truly taste the fruits of unmitigated corporatism and experience the end-game of supply-side economic policy.
