Obama effect 

In politics, when people elect a new president enthusiastically expecting that he will make some major positive change, but after some time realize that things are just as they used to be. The consequence of "obama effect" is being disappointed and feeling totally politically naive.
A: Do you think that Josipovic, the newly elected Croatian president-composer, will succeed in stopping corruption?
B: No, I am afraid it will be just another Obama effect.

obama effect 

The unique ability to simultaneously generate and harvest "Liberal Guilt" on an industrial scale and transubstantiate it into political capital,
not unlike using Jenkem as an alternative fuel source.

Most commonly seen in the self-loathing, pseudo-intellectuals of the political left who can only imagine expiation of some self-generated guilt complex by the
totally debasement and subservience of themselves, their government and culture to a melanin masterhood.

Also seen in the under 30's crowd as the final installment of the systemic breakdown of critical thinking in the education system wherein the sole reason for supporting Obama is simply the fact that he is black, no other criteria are needed. When questioned about any important campaign issues or their understanding of the "Obama Policy" on any issue, they respond by screaming that the interlocutor is a racist.

This demographic are the pawns and spawns of the foregoing who are, in turn, at best, the willing bitches of a cynical half-caste who is misanthropic enough to use them hard to further his Commie-Farrakhanista agenda.
The Obama effect can be seen at every Starbucks after school
where one will continually hear the refrain: "America needs a black president!"

Hype: The Obama Effect 

A right wing propaganda film portraying Barack Obama and his campaign as a series of lies and falsehoods. Citizens United, a "conservative research organisation" and an obviously unbiased source of information, makes their case against Obama based on his popularity and eloquent speeches which, in their eyes, disqualifies a man as the leader of the United States.
I wish Urban Dictionary wouldn't put up so many ads of immature political bullshit like Hype: The Obama Effect.
