Obamamatopoeia

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, OBAMAFIED.

Check out this article, where Slate.com created a widget for "the unabridged Encyclopedia Baracktannica."

My buddy Andy is in town, visiting from Brooklyn, and after a lengthy day of traveling to Estes Park for Bloody Mary's at the Stanley Hotel, getting lost with me as navigator (surprise, surprise), and Margaritas & Quesadillas, Andy and I attempted to uni-lucid dream. When that didn't work, we got up and perused the internet for the latest political news. This is when we ran across this article and decided to participate in the political process of wordplay.

Obama Mama - any mother in support of Barack Obama

Obamathon - an all-night fundraiser in support of Barack Obama

Barawkward - an uncomfortable exchange of forced pleasantries between candidates

Obamadeus - a young prodigy capable of composing oratory masterpieces

Baraille - tactile political paraphernalia in support of Barack Obama

Baright - the luminescent Barack Obama auras given off during exceptionally inspirational speeches

Barackitis - a contagious ailment afflicting Obama-supporters; side effects include skipping work for Obama rallys, bouts of hope and sporadic yelps of "Yes we can!"

O'Bama - the temporarily adopted last name of Obamaphiles on St. Patrick's Day
