An avid supporter of our President, Barack Obama. Someone who is consistently up-to-speed on all things Obama in the news and can debate (and win) against any "McCainiac" they may encounter.
My roommate is such an Obamatarian that she can recite anything CNN or any other news channel may have said about Obama 5 minutes ago. She practically knows his whole life history.

Japanese obatarian behave in a manner not unlike flesh-eating zombies. The obatarian is selfish and unwilling to abide by or is oblivious of socially acceptable behavior. A typical obatarian is short, stout, wears a perm, and is dressed unfashionably (house slippers optional); she will elbow her way through crowds, refuses to wait in line, run for empty bus/train seats, is loud and loves sales. Some academics believe that the propensity for young Japanese women to transform into obatarian is the cause of Japan's declining birth rate.
