Obamadolatry
n.— «Obamadolatry: This should be a new dictionary word and definition when new dictionaries are published, one that adequately explains the worship now being showered on the President-elect. The worship Obama now enjoys exceeds anything in memory; from supermarket tabloids to popular magazines to the mainstream media to toy-makers to those per-inquiry television advertising hawkers selling everything from Obama plates to commemorative coins to calendars, Obamadolatry is in full swing.» —“he Gadfly: Obamadolatry Reaches Crescendo” by Mike McCarville The McCarville Report Online Jan. 17, 2009.
