    "Here's the robots.txt file from whitehouse.gov yesterday:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /cgi-bin
    Disallow: /search
    Disallow: /query.html
    Disallow: /omb/search
    Disallow: /omb/query.html
    Disallow: /expectmore/search
    Disallow: /expectmore/query.html
    Disallow: /results/search
    Disallow: /results/query.html
    Disallow: /earmarks/search
    Disallow: /earmarks/query.html
    Disallow: /help
    Disallow: /360pics/text
    Disallow: /911/911day/text
    Disallow: /911/heroes/text

    And it goes on like that for almost 2400 lines! Here's the new Obamafied robots.txt file:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /includes/

    That's it! BTW, the robots.txt file tells search engines what to include and not include in their indexes. "
