The Obama White House is drawing ridicule for appending the official
online biographies of nearly every president over the last century in
order to link President Obama's accomplishments to the former commanders
in chief.
For instance, the following line was added to the official bio of the
late President Ronald Reagan: "In a June 28, 1985, speech, Reagan called
for a fairer tax code, one where a multimillionaire did not have a
lower tax rate than his secretary. Today, President Obama is calling for
the same with the Buffett Rule."
Conservative blogs and publications ripped the White House Tuesday for the move, even starting a Twitter hashtag
#ObamaInHistory
to mock him. The Republican National Committee launched a tumblr page
called: "
Obama in History -- World Changing Events You Didn't Know Obama
Played A Part In."
The page goes on to show pictures of Obama standing with historical
figures ranging from Einstein to Elvis to The Beatles. It also shows
Obama at the Berlin Wall and Stonehenge.
will fail to reach its
target for reducing
greenhouse gases by 2020, according to a
government report which predicted that emissions responsible for global warming will actually increase by seven percent over that time.

The Government Accountability Office tells Congress the Green
River Formation out West contains an "amount about equal to the entire
world's proven oil reserves." So why are we keeping it locked up on
federal lands?
Exploding the Big Lie pushed by President Obama that we can't drill
our way out of high gas prices because we have but 2% of the world's
proven oil reserves, Anu Mittal, GAO director of natural resources and
environment, testified before Congress last week that just one small
part of the U.S. is capable of outproducing the rest of the planet.

In repeated votes, Democrats who control the chamber defeated four
Republican proposals, including a plan that passed the House in March.
The entire
Senate
also unanimously rejected President Obama’s 2013 budget, voting 99-0
against it, following a 414-0 vote against it in the House earlier this
year.
“A stunning development for the president of the United
States in his fourth year in office,” said Sen. Jeff Sessions, Alabama
Republican.
Congress is required by law to pass a budget by April 15, then write the annual spending and tax laws to carry out the budget’s targets.

A federal judge temporarily blocked
enforcement of a part of the National Defense Authorization Act that
opponents claim could subject them to indefinite military detention for
activities including news reporting and political activism.
U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest in
Manhattan today ruled in favor of a group of writers and activists who
sued President Barack Obama, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and the
Defense Department, claiming a provision of the act, signed into law
Dec. 31, puts them in fear that they could be arrested and held by U.S.
armed forces.

China is gathering oil and gas assets across the U.S.,
The Wall Street Journal reports today.
