After the Heritage Foundation’s Rory Cooper noted that President Obama inserted his name into Ronald Reagan’s official White House biography, Commentary‘s Seth Mandel dug up some other examples. A lot of other examples.

Hail to the Narcissist in Chief!
The #ObamaInHistory hashtag quickly began trending worldwide as conservatives, led by Dina Fraioli, jumped on the opportunity to mock The One’s hubris.
