Obama-isms

While playing Spades with my parents over Thanksgiving break, my mom and I somehow got on the topic of words that rhyme with Obama. I think it started when she asked what the new slogan would be after That One, Go-Bama, etc. We started brainstorming words and we got really into it. Soon it wasn't just the words but funny questions before the Obama punchline of sorts. My dad patiently waited for the joke to die down, but seemed amused enough that we were both so engaged in it. It was too late anyhow--we were a lost cause and couldn't be stopped!

I relayed the evening to my roommate Sarah a few days later and she got caught up in the fun as well. The following are the fruits of our labors, so to speak. As Sarah said, they are are 95% Amirabama. A few come from Sarah, and some from my mom. The rest are from the randomness lurking inside my brain. My all-time favorite is courtesy of my mom so I'll post that first. Its unexpected specificity and weirdness lend it lots of charm! I don't understand how she came up with that one... Anyhow, without further ado I present: Obama-isms!

This reminds me of O-week brainstorming :)

Some of these could have only been written by you. "What do you call Obama working with kids in a drama classroom? Creative DramaBama" for example!
