Trending Topics: Barack’s Birthday and “Birthers” Gift

August 4, 2009

Happy birthday, President Obama!

While Barack Obama’s birthday is not necessarily the news of the day, he is the news with trending and hot topic placements in Google Trending Topics. As a hot Google topic, the president’s picture as The Joker places in the number 3 position – one above Tiger Wood’s alleged, ahem, flatulence – and his birthday is number 21. Now, according to Google Trends, his birthplace and those who are questioning it are nowhere to be found in their Hot 100. Did they give him a day off as a gift?!
