to save your Obamatanic

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

Collective 600 pound gorilla 

A group of people that rolls 600 pounds deep, which is really no different than if one person acted like the 600 pound gorilla all by themself, it's just bullying spread around a group to fuck with somebody. Just like each person has an asshole, and to some degree is an asshole, a collective 600 pound gorilla has a collective asshole so that no one person has to take responsibility for being the asshole or the one who said this or that.
The collective 600 pound gorilla was punching its chest, showing who the alphas were.
