There is no doubt that Obama can make a speech that motivates his followers. Obama is probably one of the most elegant speakers to come along since JFK. Obama touches on several themes during his speeches and like almost every political speaker uses ‘buzzwords’ that have become his trademark.

During the campaign two entrepreneurs launched Obama-bingo and the proceeds from the bingo game went to charity. The game was a unique combination of politics and charity and was meant to inspire people to give to charity with the same fervor that they support candidates. On the now defunct website players could download cards with various ‘buzzwords’ used by Obama such as ‘change.’ The first card to get five squares in a row wins and all proceeds from the game will go to a charity of the winner’s choice.

Now that the election is a done deal the charity game has been eliminated but players who missed playing Obama bingo the first time around will still have a chance to play. The website Bingobama.com offers an online bingo game complete with both cards and a video of one of Obama’s speeches.

The card contains many ‘buzzwords’ that are associated with Obama such as ‘hope, opportunity, change, end this war, healthcare, and others. While this game is designed to be used with the speech posted on the site, online bingo players and Obama fans can use the game during any of Obama’s speeches.

The election of Obama should be of special interest to American online bingo players. Obama is seen as sympathetic to online gaming including online bingo. With Obama as president and Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate there is a good possibility that the unpopular Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 could be repealed.

In the meantime Obama bingo could be used for many purposes. As a teaching tool Obama bingo could teach the young about the American system of government and politics in general. There are many websites offering many different versions of Obama bingo and there should be no difficulty in locating a suitable version. Congratulations to Obama and hopefully the transition will be smooth and he can meet the challenges facing him and his new administration.
