The title is misleading because it states that Yahoo itself is advocating Obama as the #1 failure whereas your first post states that Obama is the #1 result for the search term "miserable failure". The difference is that of what a company's opinion is and what people happen to be looking up.

I don't have the patience to verify this info, but it seems that not only is this a deliberate effort on the part of a small group of people to do searches in a way that manipulates terms, and creates this result, but in fact this whole effort was directed at the former President (Bush), and now Obama is just inheriting it. (because they replaced his name with Bush's on the White House website, and the searches are being redirected).

Either way, a pretty pointless thread, and it definitely doesn't reflect yahoo's opinion of the President (former or current), as the title misleadingly suggests. The whole thing does (seem to) reflect their relative incompetence (Google fixed this same problem a long time ago).

Exactly!
