Obama is a name dropper

Obama drops his name into the other presidential biographies. On whitehouse.gov, that is, for every prez since Silent Cal. Here’s his drop-in on Reagan: “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.” We’d also like to drop his name, but into something made of porcelain which flushes.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Remember the 1983 Woody Allen film titled Zelig? It was a pseudo-documentary in which Allen used blue screen technology to insert himself into historical newsreel footage. Perhaps these additions to the other presidents’ biographies were just Obama’s way of paying homage to Allen.
