Stupid website question ^^;

Okay, so... I want to make a president website. It's probably going to have vice president and other politician biographies on there, including president biographies.

Except, my problem comes with the biography part. I have absolutely no idea how to write the biography to make it sound like I didn't copy off of anyone. I'd consider using a Wikipedia biography, but I don't want to come across as a slacker and I don't want to get in trouble with any kind of plagerism.

Am I just asking for too much, or am I just somehow missing something?

Maybe you could spice it up with some jokes? ^^ It would be an idea. But I don't know about you, so... but it seems that people would read it easier if you put some puns and jokes in it

I am a very sarcastic person. So... I dunno, I don't think people would be too satisfied reading a Richard Nixon biography with sarcasm. Who knows. u__u;;

But with Richard Nixon, it would be even funnier

The same with Bush.
I'm not good with giving someone advice, so... ^^°

No, it's okay, I think you're doing fine. Most presidential biographies are boring, so I guess some sarcasm would liven it up some. But just mostly rewording all of it, so someone doesn't recognize it from somewhere else is the main issue I have. I just feel like people would pin me down as a plagerist if I just copied and pasted from another source.

I understand, because it's the same problem I'm having when I have to do a biography for my book report. ^^°
I think that some facts can't be rewritten so easily. Maybe you should just stick to the few ones you have to write and make it an adventurous story easily to read.
It's so hard for me to express myself right now ^^°
