Sorry can't take any credit that was e.mailed to me this morning by a friend so I posted it on here to see if you would enjoy it. Must admit I was stumped by the Obama one. Just couldn't grasp that. I am sure someone could explain it to me.

8. What was the US President 's Name in 1975?

Answer: Same as is it now - Barack Obama. ?????
