looks like somebody in Yahoo Inc. is not happy with the new president. Do a search in Yahoo for "miserable failure" and check what the first result is:

miserable failure - Yahoo! Search Results

:)

There was a similar prank when Bush was the president. Check this link:

snopes.com: Miserable Failure

It's the same prank. The Googlebomb (that's what it's called when bloggers set up a phrase like "miserable failure" to lead to a particular site on a web search) was set up in 2004 to point to the whitehouse.gov, because that was GWB's website. Now it's Obama's site, but the URL remains the same, and so does the Googlebomb. It has nothing to do with Yahoo's opinion on Obama, and everything to do with the shortsightedness of the pranksters.
