Worst failure ever
“worst failure ever”. If you placed into Google as a search term, then it takes you as the first result on Google SE. It seems Republican activists have successfully “bombed” Google.
This is known as “Google Bombing”. A “link bomb” or “oogle bomb” is Internet slang (often with humorous or political intentions) for an attempt to raise the ranking of a given page in results from a Google search. It is achieved by gaining enough links on the said term to the targeted page, although Google announced in 2007 that it had found a way to supposedly stop Google bombing taking place.
A “link bomb” uses a trick in the system to associate a particular page with a particular phrase and it’s at the heart of the way that Google itself works. Just in case, if we link to the President’s page with the phrase “worst ever failure” then Google will associate the page we’ve linked to, the President’s one, with the phrase “worst ever failure”. What has been happening, essentially over the last couple of days is that hundreds, if not thousands, of Republican websites have been linking in this manner.
There are two phrases in fact that appear to work “worst ever failure” and “worst failure ever”. This makes Google think that the President’s page is very important indeed for the phrase “worst ever failure” and of “worst failure ever”, so much so that it is the first result for either.

But… Obama IS the worst failure ever. He will not be re-elected, just like Jimmy Carter, the one who has the title when you look at the facts and stats.
