Obamalexicon - Barack Obama's secret weapon!
Little press attention has been paid to one of the reasons behind Barack Obama's stellar success: The rich range of words that can be spun using his names!

You know what I'm talkin' about... ...Examples: Barackonomics, Obamapalooza, Baracktomistic, Obamathon, Baracknophobia

McCain doesn't have a chance in hell!

It's Fathers Day and my son suggested we try to collect a big list of fun Obamawords!

So, help us out here, just add any fun name derivations (and keep it positive).

Inclusion of definitions is optional. Here, though, is one favorite definition for "Obama":
Obama (3): A unit for measuring awesome.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=obama

Have at it and Happy Fathers Day to all!

5. Well, I've found it amazing and
love the playing around with words it brings to the table.

Obamarang, Obamaroo, Obamaicans, and "Obama as a unit for measuring awesome"!

And, bush became a four letter word.

7. Thanks for "Obamarang".... I remember reading that one.
I laughed out load when I first heard it in an article about the primaries, something like, "the negative ad came back at them like an Obamarang!".

9.  I used it quite
often during the primaries and got it off a DUer. It's pricelessly descriptive.
