- njarboe 9y agoEven Obama thinks the word Obamacare is fine[1] and it is much better name than the official one. "Obamacare" is short, unique and not made up of words that put some kind of spin on the bill. Names like "PATRIOT" act should be ridiculed and not used by the press or the public.

I guess this "anthropomorphism" of concepts allows them personality and transfers some of their namesakes' charisma making the things "more relatable" to the "average Jane and Joe".
