Pretty interesting stuff....im sure you could do this for every president but this is still pretty bad...

These are pretty dumb "firsts, " most of them being so specific that they're probably "onlys. "

I don't always agree with Wicked, but when I do you know your post was bad.

Some of these Are Pure Crap too.
Example.

• First President to Insert Himself into White House Biographies of Past Presidents (Source: The New York Times).

White House Appends Obama Policies to Online Presidential Biographies - NYTimes.com

http://http://www.breitbart.com/Big-...se-biographies

The NYT article Spells it out clear, and While it is the President's Website, Its only a foot note.
But the Breitbart Article makes it sound a whole lot worse.

Clearly a stretch.

You can see for yourself. In the Blue Box At the Bottom. Calvin Coolidge | The White House

I remember reading about that a while back. It's a crap move on the part of any administration, imo. But I've got more important things to worry about like where my lint roller went and why my dog is a pain in the ass sometimes.

Easily noted self-aggrandizing is equally easily dismissed and ignored for what it is. For the people who fall prey to it (or buy it) they were already lost.

Off-topic, but did I just not pay enough attention in history class, or do they not teach about a massive group of those Presidents? Van Buren, Harrison, maybe Tyler, Polk and Taylor, Filmore, Pierce, maybe Buchanan, Grant, I think Hayes and Garfield, possibly Arthur. Also possibly Harden.

You have to do something important, like rename the Oral Office, to get in the history books.

Wasn't Oral Office named so in honor of Clinton?

Arguing semantics again I see. Doesn't matter if he does them first and they keep going or they don't he still did these things and it doesn't help that the list is so damned long I stopped reading after 10 lines. It's clear the government and the president has no regard for the public good. They will just keep going on with whatever they damn well please and tell us plebs to shut up anytime we get out of line.
