YSK: During Obama’s presidency, Obama, Japan had Barrack Obama merchandise available for purchase.

They also erected a statue in his honor.

TIL if you skim your eyes over the word "honor" your mind can play tricks on you and read "boner" instead.

I knew he was Asian.

It's still bizzare that the US presidents recently ended up being :

  • Bush 2
  • First black president
  • The guy that hassled the first black president, saying he was born in kenya
  • The first black president's vice president
  • The racist guy, again.

EDIT : Oh wait, just before bush 2 :

  • Reagan
  • Reagan's VP (Bush 1, for one term)
  • Clinton
  • Bush 2
  • Etc
