The element, tentatively named "OBAMOZIUM," has no proton or electrons and thus has an atomic weight of 0. However, it does have one neutron, 70 vice neutrons, and 161 assistant vice neutrons. This gives it an atomic mass of 232. These 232 particles are held together in a nucleus by a force that involves the continuous exchange of meson-like particles called morons.

Since it has no electron, "Obamozium" is inert. However, it can be detected chemically, as it impedes every reaction it comes in contact with. According to researchers, a minute amount of "Obamozium", added to one reaction, caused it to take four days to complete. Without the Administratium, the reaction ordinarily occurred in less than one second.

"Obamozium" has a normal half-life of approximately three years, at which time it does not actually decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which assistant neutrons, vice neutrons and assistant vice neutrons exchange places. Studies seem to show the atomic number actually increasing after each reorganization.

Research indicates that "Obamozium" occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate in certain locations such as government agencies, large corporations and universities. It can usually be found in the newest, best-appointed and best- maintained buildings.

Scientists warn that "Obamozium" is known to be toxic, and recommend plenty of fluids and bed rest after even low levels of exposure.

It also has the same stench as democromium.
But not to worry... our experience with democromium is that
the stench cannot get strong enough that users will not wish
it in a ‘charge’ arrangement. The greatest misconception about
those elements is that they give out more energy than they take
in.

Obamozium,known to be toxic, is the causative agent of Husseinassism a condition that scientist are hoping to have a cure for in 2012.

Berkley Labs??

They’re always the runner-up to Berkeley Labs. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

It would have been much easier if they had simply fired protons into the nucleus of unobtainium.

Is obamozium harmful to humans? What I’m really wondering is if it is Reidioactive, you know, like pellosium.

Too dense to be of any use.

Two atoms walk out of a bar..

One says “I think I lost an electron in there”

the other says “Are you sure?”

He says “I’m POSITIVE!”

I think that as a super heavy element it should be named Teddyum or Kennedyum after Ted Kennedy.

OBAMOZIUM has nor czarinos?
I was sure it would have at least a hundred.

Obamozium is harmful to all living things, as is its’ half-life element hopeychangeyium.
