White House adds its own footnotes to Presdential History on website...

I personally think this is brilliant! A great way to keep current policy in the forefront, with links to current programs supported by the Admin.

and it's making Repugs heads explode = BONUS!!!

here's a sample: (http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/ronaldreagan)

Did you know?

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.
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.


bwahaha!

1. OK, but the door will swing both ways

Someday their president's White House staff will be able to reserve the right to do the same thing and rewrite history in a way that badmouths the New Deal, the Great Society and the Clinton years. Just be ready for that.

2. What's the beef? It IS Obamas White House - now.

Like they don't do the same thing when they occupy?

3. at least the Obama Admin

is keeping it honest, using it as a tool to draw history into current events...
If it were a Repug, it would be more blatant propaganda...not to mention, repugs don't waste time with the White House website, they go straight to FOX and spew all the vile crap they can manage...
