Google Now Officially Obama’s

H/t the big feed

After just over two years, Google has finally defused the “Google Bomb” that has returned US President George W. Bush at the top of its results in a search on “miserable failure”. The move wasn’t a post-State Of The Union Address gift for Bush. Instead, it’s part of an overall algorithm change designed to stop such mass link pranks from working.

A search today now shows the US White House page carrying Bush’s name is no longer top listed. Also gone are pages about Michael Moore and former US president Jimmy Carter that were on the first page of results due to Google bombing actions.

“It’s completely algorithmic,” said Google spam fighting czar Matt Cutts, adding “we’re not going to claim it’s 100 percent perfect.”


Here’s what Google is not telling you.

A week ago, if you searched the term “miserable failure”, it returned Obama as the top result. A reverse google bombing.

Now after 6 years of the Bush derangement, Google, with no other motive, decided to clean up the mess?

Google is shown it’s firmly in the tank for Obama. Who know what else they’ll do to help the cause.
