Dense planet because it has a higher mass per unit volume than lead or because it is stupider than a block of lead. Either way I dub it DU-world for either depleted uranium or Dummycratic Underworld.

It is rumored that this ‘denser than lead’ planet has been nicknamed: Obama.

Actually, it's the source of $400,000,000 in campaign contributions and reports to have registered 2,000,000,000 new Democratic voters.

So what I want to know is... What’s it made of?

Bidinium and obamium bound by intermediate sorons.
