A most curious thing.
I went to a political meeting last night to hear what the group had been up to.
Turns out, it was mostly a discussion on how to raise funds for the coming campaign.
One attendee spoke about the current U.S. Presidential campaign and raised this issue:
"Well, Hilary Clinton raised $US5 million in a week from corporate donors. But Obama raised much, much more from family groups. I think we should start Obamaring."
Obamaring?
Indeed. We all understood it to mean we should try the citizenry for our funding rather than business groups. Get the local people, individuals, involved.
My mother has a saying: "Many a mickle makes a muckle." Meaning, that every penny counts towards a pound. If fifty percent of the locals donated small change, we'd soon have a nice tidy pile to match the corporate donors of the Big Evil Counsellors.
But... Obamaring? Could this be a new word that will become a part of everyday speech?
