Okay I give up... *

* obviously means George W. Bush.

Now where the hell did it come from? :(

1. I believe it's the asterisk that will forever be next to his name

As he was the first president not elected, but appointed.

2. Are you a baseball fan?

Roger maris broke babe Ruth's home run record, but because the Commissioner worshipped the Babe, and because Maris had eight more games in the newly-expanded season with shich to break the record, Maris' 61 home runs went into the books with an asterisk after it to denote 'special circumstances.'

61*

The asterisk was removed a few years after Maris died.

Since George didn't actually win the office he currently holds, he also gets an asterisk.

Bush*

3. That's right! They even named the movie 61*...

Ooh! Mike? Mr. Moorer! I have a working title for that new documentary!
