Why It’s Perfectly Fine for Obama to Insert Himself Into Other Presidential Biographies

[High Praise! to gun-totin-wacko of HistorySnark]

The way GTW explains it, having President Obama insert himself into other presidents’ bios kinda make sense. For example:

President Eisenhower spent eight years in the White House. He’s best known today for a few habits that he had, since his presidency was a period of amazing growth. For instance, did you know that Ike smoked? And like Ike, Obama smokes too! So he’s carrying on the legacy of Ike’s booming economy by providing stimulus to the tobacco industry.

Eisenhower also is viewed as the father of the Interstate Highway System. He became aware of the need for better roads when, as a young Army officer, he took part in an exercise to see how well troops could be transported across the country. As president, he started the highway construction boom we have today. And Obama, like Eisenhower, is spending billions of dollars on the highways of America. It’s just that the work done under the current administration is either not really being done, or it was already funded. But hey- he’s building on Ike’s legacy yet again!

Eisenhower is also known for having a fondness for golf. Of course, he sometimes felt he had other things to do, and it’s also easier to go golfing when the country and the economy isn’t in the crapper, but Obama is making a point of building on his legacy of golf. Ike might even have helped popularize the game, and Obama… well he golfs a lot. A LOT! So he’s just like Ike!

  1. Thanks for the HIGH PRAISE! Cross one off my bucket list!

    Jimmy, I’m totally on board with you- but I was trying to not get too far out there. After all, there are people who still haven’t figured out that Clinton did everything Nixon was accused of TRYING to do. And more.

    Regards.
