You’re too kind. I keep renaming my morning dump after him. Beat me to it. I was going to say, "I'd add a sixth to the list, but I flushed it."

Asbury Park Press is as liberal a rag as you can imagine. So no surprise they don’t want to hear any opposing views.

4) A Parasite: Paragordius Obamai, the hairworm parasite, was named for the President because it hails from Kenya, the area where his father was born and raised. Interestingly, these parasites infect crickets, forcing them to commit suicide by jumping into water.
A perfect fit!
