Obama Edits Official State Department

Inserting himself into the biographies of past presidents on the White House website apparently wasn’t enough for President Obama. His State Department is now editing its descriptions of foreign countries into yet another taxpayer-subsidized campaign commercial for the Obama Administration.

The State Department has recently ended its long-running series of Background Notes, which were analytical, objective histories of other countries. In their place, new “Fact Sheets” now tout Obama’s policies and actions toward each nation. No more historical context, no recounting of complex and long-standing issues in the country. Just cut to the chase—that is, the time when the current Administration came to power.

How much longer before we see huge portraits of him placed on all public buildings?

I'm sure the president didn't have anything to do with this, but he definetly needs to have a talk about the enthusiasm of his staff that writes this tripe.

Maybe the POTUS did or didn't have anything to do with it, but he sure strikes me as being awfully arrogant.

A (neo)conservative think tank is your source?

Never. Because that's insane.

Many years ago, there was an "uprising" in Kenya. The British moved in to restore order under Winston Churchhill. A lot of people were arrested and sent to jail. 2 of these men had the last name of Obama. Yep, that was Barack Hussain Obama's father and grandfather.

Ever wonder why Obama sent the White House bust of Winston Churchhill back to England? Obama must have pizzed his pants everytime he walked past that face. It was not enough just to bury it in the basement, he had to send it back, overnight express.

I can not wait to read his first book after he leaves office. He will tell us how he saved the USA, saved the world and brought the globe together under the same roof. I would be surprised if he was not elected as President of the UN.

He did no such thing. It's still in the same place it always was. Stop listening to these conspiracy filled hate mongers. Like fox news and limbaugh.

Weren't the right also scared that this President was going to take away your guns as well. Remember the hype that surrounded that? Gun and ammo makers sales went through the roof.

How'd all that nonsense work out?

Hyperbole in our politics is so frustrating. Somewhere between the Obama is a Socialist and the Obama is the Second Coming, lies the truth. He's been a solid President struggling with the economic woes of the entire world and how they have affected our country. The president gets far too much blame for the bad, and far too much credit for the good.

Have any of the 'flag waving' crowd even allowed the President the chance to lead? Or has the entire agenda been aimed at disrupting, feet dragging, and character assassination. That is what our entire political climate has denegrated into.

And if Romney wins, the Left will do the same exact thing to him gearing up for 2016.

No wonder every day Americans hate politics.

This is 100% false. The bust still in the White House. In the Residence. Outside the Treaty Room. http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/07/27/fact-check-bust-winston-churchill

It seems very rare that people can think their own thoughts anymore.

If you are on the Left, you hate Romney, Dittoheads, and Faux news.

If you are on the Right you hate Obama, Jon Stewart and MSNBC...

It's like someone is writing a script for people to follow...

White House now admits that they did return a bust of Winston Churchill back to Britain. There were two of them. They returned one that was supposedly on loan to Bush. The one that was presented as a gift is still there. Funny how they denied returning one at all as "100%" false but now all of sudden it's "Oooooh, yeaaaaaah. Oh you meant that one?" They KNEW they returned one. Why didn't they just clear that up when the accusation first surfaced??

Left-Right Paradigm, still going strong I guess.

[ninjadude]

I'm still not sure why conservative republicans think this is important. Anyone?

I'm still not sure why conservative republicans think this is important. Anyone?

Because they need to distract the seven people who might still vote for them from the latest clanger ("no pregnancy from a legitimate rape") from one of their senate hopefuls?
