I found a fairly old article from 2009. Apparently somebody decided to name a new lichen species after Obama, calling it “ Caloplaca obamae”... Interesting read! newsroom.ucr.edu/2060Thoughts?

Yes, very! In the original article I read, they had a pic of sphag as the moss instead of the lichen that it actually was and I about flipped. I had to have it! Haha! It was a cute species from the pic too, very compact growth heads with fine fibers. Here was the pic I flipped over...
