Hey, remember the Bush “miserable failure” Googlebomb?

Guess what happened when we switched Presidents Tuesday?

Yup, it’s now triggering Obama. At least on Yahoo; Google fixed this problem a while back, although if I understand this fellow correctly Obama’s bio is going to be increasingly linked with “failure” until everything’s resolved. There’s a certain air of “the President’s tech team should have been on top of this:” I dunno if that’s fair. At any rate, Google’s going to go back in and fix this again – probably with the help of the aforementioned tech team.

And that’s pretty much the point of this post: I just felt like pointing out that if you played Googlebombing games with Bush’s name, congratulations: you’ve helped ensure that the Obama administration has more, fairly tedious work to do.

Have a nice day!

    Not just the word “failure” but the word “arrogance” as well. Chalk it up to inexperience if you like, but Obama’s condescending self-assurance is going to alienate a lot of people.

    on an ego trip. The more arrogant you get, the bigger the target you become.

    All it took to do the google bomb was to create a link saying miserable failure that points to the president’s bio? And a link that says arrogant would also point to Obama’s bio? What about arugula? Would that also work? I think that 32 people need to copy this text to their own blogs, and then we’d have some good stuff for President Messiah.
