Is Obama getting STEALTH "google-bombed?"

How in the heck could googling "Obama Lies" produce thirteen million references when googling "Bush Lies" produces just over a million references, and "Clinton Lies" produces only three million???

There is something going ON here, I believe...

I haven't seen anyone on any RW site (FR, LGF, Politico, Salon, Drudge - ya, I checked them all and then took the day off, sick) asking people to "google-bomb" this phrase, but it seems inconceivable to me that this could be some kind of "innocent mistake."

Does anyone know anything about a stealth campaign? Are RW blog writers and RW posters purposefully using this term in order to send a message and to make it so that anytime ANYONE searches the phrase, they get OVERWHELMED? Could there be an alternate justification for this phenomenon I am unaware of?

Perhaps I need to take the AFB off, folks, but honestly, this does not sound (at least, to me) remotely possible under normal circumstances.

1. I'm not the least bit suprised!

Many of the the issues that are brought about the Obama's are either blown way out of proportion or are non-issues. To see the 13 million references does not shock me one bit.

2. Even in comparison to "Bush Lies?"

I really think that this is STRANGE - to say the least!

I was a little bit surprised by that figure. I thought is should have been a little bit closer.

5. I seem to remember a pretty long google campaign for "Bush Lied..."

I just find it difficult to conceive that "Obama Lies" could even come close to "Bush Lies" - let alone top it by 1300%...
