Really? OH-bom-oh-lo-jiz-um? Not oh-BOM-oh-lo-jiz-um?

Oh my god, I’m just making it up. It’s a fake word. You emphasize the bam, not the oh? He’s not O’Bama, he’s Obama. I admit I’ve always had a lot of difficulty with emphasis.

I think it should more like this:
OH-bum-ALL-o-jiz-um

Not a good word. The “aux” does not indicate phony, which “faux” does. “Obamologism” (not change of “a” to “o”) would be a good word, but it has no connection with being faux. BTW, I’m not suggesting it be a word, even a phony one.
