A UPI story came out two days ago about how the Global Language Monitor says "Obama" has become one of the top political buzzwords. Now Obama has become the root word for a number of words.
"To enter the English language," Paul Payack, GLM president and chief word analyst, said, "a word has to meet certain criteria, including frequency of appearance in the written and spoken language, in the media, have a large geographic footprint, and to stand the test of time."
Here's the article:

I will put this up on eBay and see what happens, but thought I would give you guys a shot first.
