post-inaugural depression

The feeling of sadness that many people experience after the political climax of the inauguration of the president of their choice.

Psychiatrist: Tell me why you asked to see me today, Ms.___.
Patient: Because I feel really, really, really sad - kind of drained and empty. When Barack was President-Erect - I mean, Elect - I felt soooooo great, but now all I can think of is my crappy job, my bills ... depressing stuff like that ...
Psychiatrist: Ah, yes, a classic case of post-inaugural depression. I notice that you first said "President Erect" .... Why do you think that was ....
Etc., etc..
