Unlike Bush's 'Google Bomb,' Google Quickly Defuses Obama's

We read:
"It took four years for Google to address the "Google bomb" that was lobbed at former President Bush. But it took the Internet behemoth only a few days to defuse the same attack on President Obama.

In 2003, President Bush's detractors successfully gamed the Google search engine by arranging to have countless Web sites link the words "miserable failure" to Bush's official biography on the White House Web site. The result was that when someone typed the search term "miserable failure" into the Google search box, Bush's bio rose to the top of the search results.

Unfortunately for Obama, "miserable failure" reverted back to his bio when he moved into the White House. The new president was also Google-bombed with the phrase "cheerful achievement." But this time, Google stepped in quickly, rectifying the situation in a few days, instead of four years.

Messiahbility fixed Google.


The Messiah can also walk on water.

However,

He still hasn't mastered the process of walking through sealed White House windows.

Nor has he mastered the ability to choose honest people for his cabinet, or maybe that should be closet.

To be honest though, Google now has the tools to defuse those bombs which they didn't have years ago.

It was still funny though that the bomb they set for GWB got O'Bummer too.
