TO HONOR NEIL ARMSTRONG, OBAMA POSTS PHOTO OF HIMSELF



Obama took to his tumblr page to offer a tribute to Neil Armstrong. The words--two sentences--are fine in a generic politician way. But, Obama being Obama, he injected himself into the tribute. He included a photo, not of Armstrong or the iconic step onto the lunar surface, but of himself, gazing up at the moon.

Who is it that's always bitching about people bringing "politics" into these kinds of threads?

Not denying or even commenting on what Obama did, but instead trying to slay the messenger ?

Hell, it was Obama who interjected himself into the bios of every President on the WH web page. How can we expect any different from this man here ?

Pointing out the hypocrisy that is Rappy.

As for "slay the messenger", here's how you reacted when I pointed out one of Romney's many, many gaffes:


Mitt Romney, introducing his running mate: "Join me in welcoming the next President of the United States, Paul Ryan!"

Rappy's response? "You're lying, gullible ( believing in some BS you heard on msnbc ) or hard of hearing."


I was right, you KNEW I was right, and you still couldn't face reality.

Not going to let any pesky facts get in your way, are ya?

Here's the entire whitehouse.gov entry for the very first President. That's as far as I had to look to prove you wrong. Just one look.


Quote:

George Washington
On April 30, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States. "As the first of every thing, in our situation will serve to establish a Precedent," he wrote James Madison, "it is devoutly wished on my part, that these precedents may be fixed on true principles."

Born in 1732 into a Virginia planter family, he learned the morals, manners, and body of knowledge requisite for an 18th century Virginia gentleman.

He pursued two intertwined interests: military arts and western expansion. At 16 he helped survey Shenandoah lands for Thomas, Lord Fairfax. Commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754, he fought the first skirmishes of what grew into the French and Indian War. The next year, as an aide to Gen. Edward Braddock, he escaped injury although four bullets ripped his coat and two horses were shot from under him.

From 1759 to the outbreak of the American Revolution, Washington managed his lands around Mount Vernon and served in the Virginia House of Burgesses. Married to a widow, Martha Dandridge Custis, he devoted himself to a busy and happy life. But like his fellow planters, Washington felt himself exploited by British merchants and hampered by British regulations. As the quarrel with the mother country grew acute, he moderately but firmly voiced his resistance to the restrictions.

When the Second Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia in May 1775, Washington, one of the Virginia delegates, was elected Commander in Chief of the Continental Army. On July 3, 1775, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, he took command of his ill-trained troops and embarked upon a war that was to last six grueling years.

He realized early that the best strategy was to harass the British. He reported to Congress, "we should on all Occasions avoid a general Action, or put anything to the Risque, unless compelled by a necessity, into which we ought never to be drawn." Ensuing battles saw him fall back slowly, then strike unexpectedly. Finally in 1781 with the aid of French allies--he forced the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown.

Washington longed to retire to his fields at Mount Vernon. But he soon realized that the Nation under its Articles of Confederation was not functioning well, so he became a prime mover in the steps leading to the Constitutional Convention at Philadelphia in 1787. When the new Constitution was ratified, the Electoral College unanimously elected Washington President.

He did not infringe upon the policy making powers that he felt the Constitution gave Congress. But the determination of foreign policy became preponderantly a Presidential concern. When the French Revolution led to a major war between France and England, Washington refused to accept entirely the recommendations of either his Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, who was pro-French, or his Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, who was pro-British. Rather, he insisted upon a neutral course until the United States could grow stronger.

To his disappointment, two parties were developing by the end of his first term. Wearied of politics, feeling old, he retired at the end of his second. In his Farewell Address, he urged his countrymen to forswear excessive party spirit and geographical distinctions. In foreign affairs, he warned against long-term alliances.

Washington enjoyed less than three years of retirement at Mount Vernon, for he died of a throat infection December 14, 1799. For months the Nation mourned him.

The Presidential biographies on WhiteHouse.gov are from “The Presidents of the United States of America,” by Michael Beschloss and Hugh Sidey. Copyright 2009 by the White House Historical Association.

No mention of Obama there, no sign that he "interjected himself into the bios of every President on the WH web page.

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.

Every President dating back to Calvin Coolidge. ( As if that makes Obama some how less of a narcissistic dirt bag ? )

*Did you know?

President John F. Kennedy famously suggested the American people: “Ask what you can do for your country.” In 1961, the Peace Corps was created, facilitating service among citizens working toward peace in developing countries. In 2011, President Obama celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps with a Presidential Proclamation.

As for Romney, he didn't FIRST introduce Ryan as you describe. It was a trivial matter, that you and the unusual suspects, tried to blow way out of proportion.


RIP Neil Armstrong.

Did you know?




Did you know that that's not at all what you posted?

Here's your claim:

"Hell, it was Obama who interjected himself into the bios of every President on the WH web page."

Obama shouldn't be adding himself into the bios of ANY other President.

Doesn't matter if it was one, four , every one since Calvin Coolidge or every single President.

When you're trying to claim something as fact, it kinda matters whether it's true or not. What you posted is factually untrue. A lie, in other words.

And of course you are completely unable to admit you were wrong and apologize for trying to mislead everyone here with complete and utter bullshit.

Wow.. you're pretty anal, huh? A minor error on my part, which is now corrected. The main issue here is Obama took the liberty of interjecting himself into the biographies of other Presidents who have preceded him. Kinda a dick move, regardless of whether it was EVERY one or every one going back to C. Coolidge.

Far from 'utter bullshit', but how dare anyone criticize your lord and savior, huh?

And one which you would be quick to call a "lie" were anyone else to make such an error. And then you'd cry for the next two months about how you feel you're owed an apology.

I get that Republicans find facts and those who care about them "anal", and that they refuse to be held to any kind of factual standard. It's really no wonder you're a Republican.
