Obama Drops His Name Into the Other Presidential Biographies « Commentary Magazine

White House Augments Presidential Bios With Obama Trivia - ABC News



President Ronald Reagan: “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.” Nothing about the Cold War. Nothing about the most audacious tax cuts and largest peacetime economic boost in national history.
