Obamadox

I was going to call this a Barrydox but I am not sure that people would make the connection.

Obamadox - an idea or situation that should be counter intuitive, or a paradox that in truth is a paradox to the educated.

There used to be a general consensus among Americans that government was not the solution. That "common sense" conclusion has experienced a waning popularity. Enter Barack Obama.

Now government will solve all problems. Health care, environmental, fiscal. Because we all know how efficient and successful the gov'ts track record is.

So, I have never heard of a word that is a paradox in reality, but is currently accepted as truth. Hence the Obamadox.
