related to, but different from, to save your sinking Titanic:
a) to be concerned, at any and all costs, about your own political legacy when you leave political office, even if said legacy may be a negative one
b) to save your political legacy before saving the decadent morality of your own political party
if you're Barack Obama, G-d may only know how to even try to save your Obamatanic, both definitions a) and b) in the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election
The information used by people claiming to know a lot about politics, but in actuality, they just knows about the policies of Barack Obama that were made public knowledge via television commercials during the election.
Man 1: "I'm really glad that President Obama is passing that economic stimulus package, it'll really help people out."
Of the nature of Obama, pugnacious, belligerent, truculent when things don’t go his way, arrogant, egotistical, supercilious and extremely scornful of others in the most unpleasant manners, and ignorant, complacent and clueless in regards to finance and in running an organization.
When a person or a coworker (maybe even your boss) is trying to tell you what to do and how to do it in the most arrogant manner where he/she has no clue about the subject of the matter, yet he/she acts as if they have the best knowledge about the subject; or simply when someone is being arrogant and obnoxious, that person is being obamatic.
