Politics & World Events (Reverse) Sheep, Round 2 — Electric Obama-Loo

<ul>Rules 
<li> The object of the game is to out-think everyone by picking answers to questions that are the most unique, but still correct. For example, if the question is "Name a country in Europe", then "Germany" might be a bad answer, but "Lichtenstein" might be a good answer.
<li> The answers to each question are tallied up. Wrong answers are one point above the most common answer.
<li> In the above example question, let's say three people said "Germany", two people said "France", one person said "Denmark" and one person said "Japan". If you answered Germany, you get 3 points, if you said France you get 2 points, Denmark gets 0 points, and Japan gets 4 points.
<li> You may not cheat by using Google, Wikipedia, etc. Use only what's in your head.
<li> The lowest score wins.
<li> New! Certain rounds are considered Lightning Rounds (designated by !!!). In these rounds, scores are doubled. A wrong answer still gets a +1 penalty.
<li> Please send in your answers via PM. Place only one answer per line, without numbers or the question itself. New! Those who do not do this will be penalized 5 points right off the bat.
<li>You have until at least Monday, June 1, at 9:00AM EST to send in answers. The game will begin sometime that week.
