You mean like typing in "failing president" and Obama pops up as the first suggestion?

Not to be a party pooper, but Obama actually *is* the president, making his name that much more likely to show up in any search with the word "president," except, of course, for bush, whose name still shows up second when you search

worst president ever.

It's still bad, but since Romney's official job title is not "corporate raider" the fact that the google search has his name is, indeed, also a bad omen.

Here is one.

Google "promotes outsourcing" and I think you will be surprised by whose name comes up as the suggested word.

Hint; it is not Romney.

no it doesn't, but if it did, I wouldn't be surprised because he is the only current president, thus making him he only person eligible for that category

Come on guys, it was bad enough when some were using google search stats as proof of Ron Paul's overwhelming support among the voters... now we're fishing for negative phrases that get their names to come up?

Fishing? Hardly. I just noticed it when I read he was a corporate raider at Bain. Had read something that his campaign folks said that he would use the skills he learned at Bain to deal with Russia. So I wondered what skills a corporate raider would use to solve issues with a superpower. Would he offer to buy them out? What skills?

You're right, I can't imagine people typing words into a search engine to see what comes up being considered fishing. That is pure research, and of course provides concrete proof to support any argument.
