Maybe he's the unit of measurement on the obameter scale.

So in theory, a politician could be up to seventeen times sexier than Barack Obama? Judging by the politicians I've seen, I'm guessing the obamater is a gauge that seldom moves at all... :-P

Good point. Well then, maybe it's the standard by which all other politicians are gauged?
Hell, I dunno. "Sex appeal" and "politicians" are utter and complete opposites to me. Evin290, care to elaborate?

Barack Obama scores a 17 on the scale, being the most good-looking politician. My friend and I just made this up one day.
Here's some examples:
Hillary Clinton - 4
Joe Biden - 0
Fred Thompson - 1
Mitt Romney - 18 (Mormons can defy scaling xD)
We originally said that it can only be used for U.S. presidential candidates, but then we changed it to politicians in general.

Aha. I see. Where did the 17 come from, pray tell?

It's quite an exact science. To explain it would just confuse you. XD
