Changing Past Presidents Bio's On The White House Website

The White House decided to add some information located at the bottom of  biographies of past presidents to include some interesting tidbits about the current president in the White House and they seem to excuse this by proclaiming it had to do with trying to get people engaged into looking at more information on the website-- SEO tactics.

Search Engine Optimization tactics that involve getting people to stay engaged in a website typically include the use of adding links to other posts or articles that are placed inside other parts of the website and in this case, the presidents' biographies.

Let's take a look at some examples of their handiwork:

President Herbert Hoover signed the bill founding the Department of Veterans Affairs July 21, 1930. President Obama is committed to making sure that the VA, the second-largest cabinet department, serves the needs of all veterans and provides a seamless transition from active duty to civilian life, and has directed his Administration to modernize the way health care is delivered and benefits are administered for our nation's veterans. First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden launched Joining Forces to mobilize all sectors of society to give our service members and their families the opportunities and support they have earned.

On August 14, 1935, President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act. Today the Obama Administration continues to protect seniors and ensure Social Security will be there for future generations.

In a 1946 letter to the National Urban League, President Truman wrote that the government has "an obligation to see that the civil rights of every citizen are fully and equally protected." He ended racial segregation in civil service and the armed forces in 1948. Today the Obama Administration continues to strive toward upholding the civil rights of its citizens,repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell, allowing people of all sexual orientations to serve openly in our armed forces.

Wow.

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.

Excuse me? Where did Reagan call for a multi-millionaire to not have a lower tax rate then his secretary? That situation has nothing to do with Reagan.

The list goes on and on. Click here for more examples.

This type of altering is quite disturbing and unbelievably narcissistic. Many of these added notes are misleading and untrue. For The White House to approve of such an action provides only further evidence of how Obama has no respect for those that have served before him. There is no reason to add such nonsense. What kind of a cheap publicity stunt is this?

Our past presidents' biographies should be focused on those men alone. Adding misleading information concerning Obama at the end of them reminds me of child who grew up without any manners and has no clue what morals and values are.

From another article:

The White House insists that the biographies themselves weren't changed. They tell Fox News they "simply added links at the bottom of each page." They say this is a commonly used Internet practice to encourage people to explore further.

So their excuse is using a common Search Engine Optimization trick but, why would The White House need to do this? They clearly do not have a Google ranking issue when doing a general search, nor do they rely on advertising revenue. This excuse is just plain pathetic and for the mainstream media to even buy into it is laughable.

Please visit this website so you can see even more of the great accomplishments of Obama.

...and of course:

This president continues to embarrass himself with such childish nonsense and how anyone can continue to support him or support this action is just a reflection of how many people are in an arrested state of development. This was juvenile and selfish.
