Obama bio on Whitehouse.gov has been messed with

[ClusterFreak]

I don't know why, but just for the helluvit I went to Whitehouse.gov just now to have a look, mainly to cringe, and for some reason felt compelled to click on President Obama's bio. Well, low and behold... his life bio has been partially scrubbed, that is to say his entire presidency has been scrubbed. Apparently his life story ended after he became a U.S. Senator, and his girls are only 14 and 11 years old. Well, they were actually. Four years ago. Have a look for yourself...

1. It rolled to a splash page. They were pretty unprepared to go live with the new website

judging from what I've been reading.

2. And was he born in Kenya?

4. No, but it wouldn't have surprised me if it said that.

But the point is... his entire presidency has been erased from his bio. Check out Bush 43's, and Bill Clinton's... both of them have their presidencies highlighted in a fair amount of detail. Obama's is non existent.

3. It's odd compared to others...

Bill Clinton's mentions the impeachment. bush's is fairly long and begins right away with 9/11.

Obama gets 6 paragraphs. The others are much more. Clinton's has 10 paragraphs.

Attempting a little revisionist history here?

5. It was the same just before the election.

... but I think it just hasn't been updated since he was re-elected.

6. That's odd. I guess I assumed too much here.

I never looked at the bio before tonight, and just assumed it would've included stuff from his presidency. It's still strange though that his daughters are mentioned as being 14 and 11 when they are four years older than that.

7. Here is what they edited and cut

He was elected the 44th President of the United States on November 4, 2008, and sworn in on January 20, 2009. After being re-elected in 2012, President Obama is currently serving his second and final term, which will end in January 2017. See photos from the President's second inauguration here.

President Obama and his wife, Michelle, are the proud parents of two daughters, Malia and Sasha.
