1. The mythical place and time when peace and hope converge, inspired by grandiose speeches platitudes and bromides.
2. In American contexts, the phrase "Camelot" refers to the presidency of John F. Kennedy, as his term was said to have potential and promise for the future, and the period was symbolic of hope for many in the world, who were inspired by Kennedy's speeches, vision and political policies. The period was ended by Kennedy's November 22, 1963, assassination, which is often compared to the fall of King Arthur. The lines "Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot," from the musical Camelot, were quoted by his widow Jacqueline as being from his favorite song in the score. "There'll be great Presidents again," she added, "but there'll never be another Camelot again … it will never be that way again."
3. Camelot is the most famous fictional castle and court associated with the legendary King Arthur. Later romance depicts it as the fantastic capital of Arthur's realm, from which he fought many of the battles and quests that made up his life. Camelot as a place is associated with ideals like justice, bravery and truth, the virtues Arthur and his knights embody in the romances. It is absent from the early material, and its location, if it even existed, is unknown. Thus most modern academic scholars regard it as being entirely fictional.

Karyn: OOOOH, I can't wait for President Barack Hussein Obama to become the leader of the world, so he can restore our mythical "Camelot" which was destroyed when JFK was killed.
Dawn: Yeah, it will be Obamalot.

Get the Obamalot mug.Obama eloquently read from the teleprompter and millions of mindless liberals just creamed their pants from a massive Obamagasm.

Get the Obamagasm mug.an unoffical term, used to describe the economic policy of President Barack Obama.
Obama, being a Democrat, thinks that economic policy should NOT make the rich richer while making the poor poorer. He is smart enough to realize trickle-down economics is absurd. If you strengthen the working class, then all people will benefit. Obama thinks the 90% of the population that is not rich is more important than the 10% who are rich.

Get the obamamadapia mug.The obsession some people have with President Elect Barack Obama. This obsession is stronger than normally given to a president and certainly stronger than that given to a president elect.
This stand that sells Barack Obama hats, pins, shirts, scarves, winterhats, pictures and other various memerobilia caters to people with Obama fever.

Get the Obama Fever mug.The peak of excitement that occurs when Obama does anything good, characterized by strong feelings of pleasure, usually accompanied by celebration. Occassionally results in college students blowing their loads in their trousers at the sight of Obama winning a campaign.

Get the Obamagasm mug.What is cursed whenever one is disconnected from the internet.
Coined from the recently passed bill that gives Obama the power and authorization to quite literally turn off the internet.
