The Lexicon of our National Change.

Not only has our country gone into a new direction, but a new vocabulary is being born. Some words that may pop up into conversation over the next four years are as follows:

OBAMAGASM-adv. 1. A feeling of mental and physical ecstasy at the very mention of the name 'Obama'. 2. A reaction by the media to a new statement or speech given by Barack Obama.
'Chris Mathew's OBAMAGASM began as a tingling up his leg.'

OBAMASSIAH-n.1. The chosen one sent by God to lead. 2. A gift of divine intervention.
God so loved the world he sent the OBAMASSIAH to the masses.

OBAMANOMICS-n. The practice of initiating mass spending on special interest group's social programs while using rhetoric to reduce the national debt and government waste.

OBIDEN-v. 1 The act of confidently making misstatements. 2. putting one's left foot in one' mouth.
'The Senator made a clear OBIDEN when he said "Freedom of speech is not a constitutional right."'

BARAKATTACK-n. 1.The failure to disguise the inability to speak without a teleprompter. 2. Multiple use of gibberish and conjunction to hide ignorance.
'The President-elect gave a rousing speech but had a BARAKATTACK when forced to go off script.'

More to come. Feel free to add your own. I am sure that with such past presidential labels as Reaganomics, Clintonista's and Bushwacked, we are going to be adding many more words to our national vocabulary.
