What are Obama Fingers? I'm almost afraid to ask!

Were they called Bush Fingers prior to the 2008 US elections?

There was a car from Vauxhall which in England was called Nova.
This name was not considered suitable for Spanish-speaking countries. I agree!!

Chevy Nova May 14, 2009

In the seventies General Motors produced the Chevrolet Nova. My father bought its sister model, the Pontiac Ventura, our first new car, in 1974.
