“Sirenomelia, alternatively known as
Mermaid Syndrome, is a very rare congenital deformity in which the legs
are fused together, giving them the appearance of a mermaid’s tail.
This condition is found in approximately one out of every 100,000 live
births[1] (about as rare as conjoined twins) and is usually fatal
within a day or two of birth because of complications associated with
abnormal kidney and urinary bladder development and function.”

Nicely done, Mr. President.
Maroney first showed her not impressed face after winning the silver
medal at the London Olympics. During the vault final, she fell and
didn't win the gold she was expected to. While on the medal stand, her
face showed her emotion -- not impressed. The face became a viral joke
on the internet, and Maroney showed a good sense of humor about it. It
culminated with her doing the not impressed face with the most powerful
man in the world.
