Unlike Bush’s ‘Google Bomb,’ Google Quickly Defuses Obama’s

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.

Four years versus a few days … Some Googlers are asking why.

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.

Unfortunately for Obama, “miserable failure” reverted back to his bio when he moved into the White House.
