Okay. I’ve determined that this piece by David Berkowitz on MediaPost’s SearchInsider is a joke that is not a joke. I am just so sad that there are still 24 months left to his presidency.

An excerpt, for your lunchtime amusement:

The President is a busy man, and he doesn’t have time to go online. There’s little he needs to search for, since he has a gaggle of advisors always bringing him information. Yet, on occasion, even the world’s most powerful man turns to search, and it points to a future where search engines are used by every person alive. Google isn’t just for the masses; it’s also for the world’s most powerful.

Bush: “One of the things I’ve used on the Google is to pull up maps.”

The President understands just how powerful the top search engine is. It isn’t just Google –it’s THE Google. One can even infer that the President predicts Google will maintain its dominance of the search landscape for the foreseeable future. Is it any wonder that last Monday, the day of the CNBC interview, Google’s stock topped $480, its highest total to date? The Google could not find a better spokesman than the President.

President Bush is also an avid map user. This points to a very bright future for local search.

Bush: “I forgot the name of the program, but you get the satellite and you can–like, I kind of like to look at the ranch on Google, reminds me of where I want to be sometimes.”

Does he have any idea how many of the rest of us would like him to be there indefinitely?

    Well, The Google is one of the best places in The Internets, and he’s plenty smart enough to know it.

    You think he believes that Al Gore invented The Internets? Sounds like a Saturday Night Live sketch family waiting to happen – The Internets. Or The Blog Family!
