Will there be letters missing when W steps down?

Current forecast: 9% chance
Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 9% likely to happen (unchanged in last 1 day)

When W got to the white house he was faced the situation of keyboards missing the letter W.

"The June 2001 list indicated that 100 computer keyboards had to be
replaced because the “W” keys had been removed."

W and Cheney suffered from this situation for years...

Assuming Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama) wins the presidential elections on the 4th of November this year and will move into the white house in January 2009:

Will there be reports alleging any act of Keyboard sabotage?

This sabotage may deal with the letter H in special or with any other key on a computer keyboard in offices in the white house in coherency with Barack H. Obama.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

What if McCain wins, then will it be if any letter in his name is missing, or void, or settled as no?

"Assuming Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. wins the presidential elections on the 4th of November this year and will move into the white house in January 2009" means that if he doesn't a pre-condition to the question is not met and so the question should be voided.

The missing keyboard letters bespeak a certain mindset. I wish I could still be surprised by the pettiness of those who enter politics but, sadly, cynicism has well overtaken hope in American politics. It appears Washington D.C. is the only remaining world capitol lacking an effective sewage treatment plant.
