Pet Names for the Prez—A PopNamer.com Name Game

Share

No matter how loved or loathed they are, we like to give nicknames to our political leaders. Sometimes they’re compliments, often they’re insults. By doing so, we humanize them; we try to put our own spin on these larger-than-life personalities.

The recently-departed Margaret Thatcher’s strong style of governance gave rise to many nicknames, including  “The Iron Lady.” (Less flattering ones were “Milk Snatcher” and “England’s Best Man”). What “Iron Lady”-like nicknames can you concoct for U.S. President Obama?
