The O-Bama Face: The New "O Face"

**See O-Bama Faces: A Slideshow**

At a Mississippi rally on Monday, where Barack Obama addressed Hillary Clinton's remarks about a possible VP slot awaiting him with his usual eloquence, we couldn't help but notice the very...enthusiastic...young lady sitting right behind him. And we get it, we really do. Poetry is HOT. So we went ahead and coined a new term:

The O-Bama Face (n.): the expression made by an Obama supporter when the inspired oration and possibility of a President Obama becomes almost too much to take.

Example:

If you've been living under a rock for the last nine years, you may be asking, what the heck is an "O Face"? We're here to help.

1. O Face

a term used in the movie Office Space to describe the face one makes when achieving orgasm.

ex. "I'm gonna be showing her my O face."

I don't know, looks to me like she's about to throw up after ingesting all those platitudes.

This is yet another version of the "Jungle Fever" theme that appears on these pages at least once a week. Next we'll have talk about the size of Obama's private parts. Racism . . . it's not just for Republicans any more.

His stump speech makes me want to throw up.

The O-face appears from agonizing over his high pitched "change" mantra.

McCain’s camp is already responding to this new tactic by Obama’s people by introducing their own “face” gimmick.

It’s called the “W Face”.

(ref. "Full Metal Jacket")

HARTMAN
Let me see your war face!

JOKER
Sir?

HARTMAN
You've got a war face? Aaaaaaaagh! That's a war face. Now let me see your war face!

JOKER
Aaaaaaaagh!

HARTMAN
Bullshit! You didn't convince me! Let me see your real war face!

JOKER
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

HARTMAN
You didn't scare me! Work on it!

Check out footage of a Nazi rally (or a rock concert) sometime, and you'll see the same gaga expression on people's faces.

And please don't get your knickers in a twist, Obamaites. I'm not comparing your hero to Hitler - or the Beatles - just pointing out that this frenzied adoration is not in and of itself a good thing. In fact, it says precisely NOTHING about the man himself or his message.

I get the "Oh no" face when I listen to Hillary.

Haven't seen the video, but in the still it looks like she's yawning. That's the effect candidates typically inspire.

She's either paid to do that, on drugs or psycho...... Maybe all three

Regarding the meaning of "Obamaed":
"But will it mean:
Q: Did you hear about the new candidate running a positive and hopeful campaign that departs from Boomer-era partisanship and divisiveness? A: Yeah, why bother. He's gonna get Obamaed anyway.
or
Q: Did you hear about the new candidate running a partisan and divisive Boomer-era campaign? A: Yeah, why bother. He's gonna get Obamaed anyway."
Why not apply the term instead to voter/citizen engagement rather than to what happens to candidates? For example:
"Yeah, I was totally apathetic and disengaged about politics before. Then I saw the will.i.am video and checked out the campaign website. Now I'm totally Obamaed."
Personally, I had never before participated in a campaign, never donated to a candidate, certainly never knocked on doors or thought about attending a county convention, but here in Iowa, I got Obamaed last fall and have now done all of the above.

I can't believe I just wasted precious seconds of my life reading this stupid shit. Heaven forbid a young person gets exited and gets caught whooping by a TiVo on freeze-frame.

Looks like Hillary has the "O-face" too:

It looks more like the Holy-S*** Face when a flying object overhead is heading straight towards you.
