WOTY may well end up having either barack or obama as a root. To wit,

Baracklamation: Anything that Barack Obama says.
Obamatose: In a deep slumber, dreaming of Barack Obama.
Barackwurst: A short, thick, Obama-themed snack.
Barackupied: Unable to think about any politician other than Obama
Baraccoli: Essential part of the diet of an Obama supporter
Barackintosh: Any computer used to further the cult of Obama
Obamamatopoeia: An excellent Obama impression
Obamazon: A passionate female Obama supporter
