Innocuous or Egomaniacal? You Make The Call.

Hello my dear friends. Yesterday we discussed money well spent. Today, let's discuss time well spent. Do you know what White House staffers have been up to lately? Well, they've been adding addendums to Presidential biographies on whitehouse.gov.  What? It's true. A little background...The official website of the United States of America has a section dedicated to our former leaders. It has a biography, list of accomplishments, etc. for each former president and is used by students and others researching our nation's history. Now, when you log on to see the history of Ronald Reagan (for one) you'll read about the "peace through strength" initiative, and his countless other achievements followed by a "Did you know" addendum that says:
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. 
That isn't actually true but, whatever. Reagan actually eliminated tax deductions and exempted low income people from paying taxes. The Buffet rule calls for increasing taxes on the "wealthy".
If you click on Lyndon Johnson (I know, why would you) you'll read about "the Great Society" followed by:
President Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare signed into law in 1965—providing millions of elderly healthcare stability. President Obama’s historic health care reform law, the Affordable Care Act, strengthens Medicare, offers eligible seniors a range of preventive services with no cost-sharing, and provides discounts on drugs when in the coverage gap known as the “donut hole.”
Aside from the fact that that isn't how you spell doughnut, should the White House really be adding their "two cents" to the accomplishments of presidents past? It is unprecedented and, in my humble opinion, a bit douchy. This is, of course, coming from the same man who said, when accepting the democratic nomination for president that his nomination would be remembered as "the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal", so lack of hubris has never been an issue. Regardless, this brings to mind the kid in school that responded to other's achievements with "oh yeah, well I did it bigger and better". It just isn't cool. Besides, you'd think the White House staff would have more important things to do, like examining a study on how overweight, middle aged men can overcome erectile dysfunction. Oh, wait....
