Is Obama The Antichrist?

That is the top way to complete the phrase “Is Obama…” according to Google’s search completion feature. For posterity, let’s preserve the list here since it’ll likely change over the coming weeks. According to Google, the most likely search queries about Barack Obama are:

  1. Is Obama the Antichrist? (not touching that one)
  2. Is Obama a Muslim? (no — see here)
  3. Is Obama a US citizen? (if he wasn’t, he couldn’t have run for president… you have to be a natural-born citizen to be president, sorry Arnie…)
  4. Is Obama a socialist? (also not touching that one)
  5. Is Obama black? (yes)
  6. Is Obama a citizen? (see #3)
  7. Is Obama a Christian? (see #2)
  8. Is Obama an American citizen? (see #3 again)
  9. Is Obama a terrorist? (no)
  10. Is Obama going to win? (yes)

As mentioned in the last post, I had to move my Suggest Explorer tool to another hosting service due to security issues with Servage. Moving a site almost always causes problems and so I’ve been monitoring the site for a few days to make sure everything’s OK — good thing I did, because I screwed a few things up and didn’t notice right away. Anyhow, I’ve been monitoring the top queries page and that’s where I noticed the is obama query suddenly became popular… turns out someone linked to it from Digg in response to a very similar entry there.

There’s not much of a point to this post, I just found the query amusing.

I am preparing a big post for tomorrow, though, that’s going to be very interesting to all AdSense publishers. It revolves around the eternal question of “can you make money with AdSense?” and what I say may surprise you. Stay tuned!

    wow, i’ve never really realized how the google search completion feature could be a tool for gauging the nation’s thoughts about something. i know that you just posted this because you just thought it randomly interesting, but i’m glad you did.
    by the way, the top listing if you type in “is blogging” is “is blogging dead?”. does this mean that people fear as such? fascinating stuff.
