Poll: What was the Obamateurism of the Week?

posted at 10:00 am on November 8, 2009 by Ed Morrissey

It’s time once again for the choice of Barack Obama stumbles.  I’d give a shout out to my favorite this week, but what happens if it gets beaten badly by voters?  Why, I’d feel like The Biggest Loser!  I doubt that I could show my face anywhere but at my cousin Pookie’s, and since I don’t have a cousin Pookie, I’d be right up a creek.

Previous “winners”:

Got an Obamateurism of the Day? If you see a foul-up by Barack Obama, e-mail it to me at obamaisms@edmorrissey.com with the quote and the link to the Obamateurism. I’ll post the best Obamateurisms on a daily basis, depending on how many I receive. Include a link to your blog, and I’ll give some link love as well. And unlike Slate, I promise to end the feature when Barack Obama leaves office.

MSM spin on that detail: The Bush’s were closer and had time on their hands.
Liam on November 8, 2009 at 11:59 AM

I heard this Obama guy has a plane that will fly him anywhere, anytime.

faol on November 8, 2009 at 12:17 PM

He’s at Camp David for some R&R.

OT but somewhat related to the lazy, partying president we are burdened with: The Obamas will divorce after he leaves the WH. Count on it.

IrishEi on November 8, 2009 at 12:36 PM

Obama! You’ve taken over car makers, and banks. You’ve spent us to near bankruptcy, and you’ve dissed our troops on more than a few occasions. What are you going to do now?

Obama: I’m going to Disney World….to shut it down!

capejasmine on November 8, 2009 at 12:39 PM

Obama got his first 3am call and put the caller on hold.

The President will roll over on the next ones….whoops, he’s already done that.

Clinton left his ‘presidue’ on a dress. Hussein Obama is going leave a bigger stain on American history.

If so, I hope she sues him for all he’s worth.

Oh, wait! That would leave her destitute…

Liam on November 8, 2009 at 12:40 PM

The shout out, definitely. It will probaly be the
OOTY and OOTD(ecade).

Exit Question:
What are the chances of a near future OOTD and OOTW being
the look on Obama’s face when he has to congratulate and
honor a female Police Sgt. Kimberly Munley for shooting a fellow muslim terrorist? If he does it at all, that is?

I think it’s a toss-up if he will, though politics might force him into it. That look you mentioned, if he’s stuck, is going to be priceless! We’ve all seen his ‘evil eye’, so if he has to step up his feelings are going to show.

Nice thought there, and now I’m laughing to myself at the vision you created. Coolness!

Liam on November 8, 2009 at 12:49 PM

OT–I’m getting a kick over the MSM spin that Pelosi is basking in her ‘great victory’ for trying to assassinate Americans’ health care system. It SQUEAKED by, but the MSM spin is that it’s a huge deal, a major coup for the Dems.

Well, ‘coup’ is a right word, I think. Along with ‘theft’ and a lot of other words I have that might make a Klingon from Star Trek blush.

I’m so sick of the libs in our United States, especially those who bother us with their vitriol, even attacking a poster’s mom. They’re almost as bad as a sitting president who ‘gets to’ mentioning a terror attack on American soil–the first since 9/11.

When Challenger exploded, President Reagan addressed the Nation that very night, giving one of the most eloquent and heartfelt speeches in human history.

Obama can’t even match Carter at this point; Hussein will have to come up to match Ole Jimmah.

Liam on November 8, 2009 at 1:01 PM

For more fun, I bet that she’d not only be destitute but also in debt.

The stain will be so great you won’t be able to read Americas history anymore.

“Shout out.” Hands down.

The man-child is a horse’s patoot. Every time he opens his mouth, horse puckey falls out.

GrannyDee on November 8, 2009 at 1:34 PM

I knew the last one would be a choice, and I also knew it would win OotW.

Precedent Bambi’s empathy button is nonexistent, it’s all got to be about him.

TeeDee on November 8, 2009 at 1:40 PM

Don’t anyone forget, either, that a pregnant woman was killed by Islamic hate. Her unborn baby died, too.

And for you libs, the fact she didn’t have an abortion tells that she wanted to keep her baby–a child. Sure, you libf*cks can claim she retained the option, but at the time of her murder by an Islamic jihadist she obviously wanted the baby. Stretch all you want, libtard trolls–the fact is that at the time of her murder by an Islamic scum that you libs support, she wanted to keep that baby.

She was Pvt. Francheska Velez, of Chicago, Illinois–Hussein Obama’s home town.

May she and her precious unborn child forever see the face of God.

Unlike Barack Hussein mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm Obama, who has the blood of millions of murdered unborn babies on his hands from around the world.

The only comfort I take in all that the traitor in the White House does…whether directly or indirectly…is to know that God’s final judgment is sure, swift, and true.

GrannyDee on November 8, 2009 at 2:25 PM

GrannyDee on November 8, 2009 at 2:25 PM

Without doubt. The libs are going to be surprised come God’s Judgment Day. Expect to hear a lot of, “But…but…but…”

And the Lord of Creation will defeat all their excuses. Are the libs ever going to be surprised!

Liam on November 8, 2009 at 2:33 PM

Simply another week’s worth of proof that Dear Leader, is not dear, nor is he a leader. Posting rules prevent me from accurately expressing my outrage over this man’s treatment of the military and the people of this nation. Guess that makes me unpatriotic.

I sat in disbelief for those 2 min. My expectations of my President are low, but this is beyond the pale.

Let’s just save time and vote that his entire presidency is the Obamateurism of the Week.

I’d like to give a shout out to Obama:

You are one sorry s.o.b. loser scumbag stupid crypto-marxist weasel-assed piece of soggy excrement.

profitsbeard on November 8, 2009 at 6:10 PM

profitsbeard

I take it you don’t care for Obama? lol

beachgirlusa on November 8, 2009 at 6:13 PM

I voted the shout out. It was so very inappropriate to have done that.

That being said, I do think that there are other aspects that have me, a non-USA citizen upset.

First of all, someone has do do something to end the political correctness madness. It will lead to a lot more in the way of deaths unless it is curtailed. By this I mean the pussyfooting around when it comes to Islam. Most people do not even know what is in the Koran.

Second, I think all of our countries have gone totally bezerk when it comes to sucking up to Islamists. I also believe that it is no longer viable to have any trust in the United Nations which has gone the same way as the League of Nations, which was in place prior to the second world war. It is within the UN that most of the kissing up to the Islamists now occurs.

Third, after reading the statements from various people, and contemplating the “shout out”, and thinking about the emotion when Tiller the baby killer was murdered by a man who had a beef because an ex-girlfriend had an abortion – and Obummer did display a lot of anger over that murder – I feel total disgust over the very lack of emotion that so many good men and women were either killed or murdered at Ft. Hood. Where was the anger over their deaths? It was lacking just like there was no anger when Islamists murdered the young recruits outside of a recruiting centre at the same time the Tiller was murdered. There was a total lack of emotion… and it is telling…..

This man is so very unsuitable for the role of POTUS, and I cannot understand how it is that there continue to be people who will, with stars in their eyes continue to say: “give him time”, as they reel off the latest of the DNC memes: “he had a big mess to clean up”…. POPPYCOCK…. he helped to create that mess by his own actions such as lobbying for the changes to that scheme that allowed the insurance companies to package those mortgages!!! He also voted down the amendments proposed by McCain that would have prevented the housing crisis…. he also voted against allowing any other form of health reform, especially tort reform that would bring the greatest benefits to the American people.

Is that the kind of change that the USA really wants?

On a different note, I am beginning to research the politics of the Reconstruction era. It is difficult because I rely on the Internet with all of its biases, but I have gone in this direction because I was checking on information regarding the KKK and the Democratic party. It seems that the Democratic Party were always big into intimidation. Instead of the intimidation coming from the KKK it is now coming from groups such as the SEIU, ACORN and of course the Black Panthers. Whilst the sources might be biased, it is interesting to note that under the rule of the Freedmen and Radical Republicans there was a lot of corruption… as the Freedmen voted themselves a lot of compensation etc. etc…. sounds a lot like Maxine Waters, Charlie Rangel… and the list goes on…. history repeats itself.

The shout out was the Obamateurism of the decade.

At least, I hope to hell it was.

The shout out was not as much an amateurism as it was a measure of his true nature.
It really is all about him.

FireBlogger on November 8, 2009 at 8:46 PM

Shout out, definitely!

mz.josephine on November 8, 2009 at 10:07 PM

Not even close.

Obambiteurism of the Presidency.

bHo elected to Illinois Senate in 1996. Supported abortion, including partial-birth abortion. His position has not changed.

On January 24, 2009 as president he lifted the ban
on federal funding for foreign family planning agencies that promote or give information about abortion. By doing so he thus becomes complicit in the deaths of unborn infants in foreign countries.

The following statistics come from pro-abortion sources as listed at http://www.abortionno.org/Resources/fastfacts.html:

WORLDWIDE

Number of abortions per year: Approximately 42 Million
Number of abortions per day: Approximately 115,000

Where abortions occur:
83% of all abortions are obtained in developing countries and 17% occur in developed countries.

© Copyright 1996-2008, The Alan Guttmacher Institute. (www.agi-usa.org)

UNITED STATES

Number of abortions per year: 1.37 Million (1996)
Number of abortions per day: Approximately 3,700

bHo in public office 1996 to 2009 = 13 years.

Do the math, Blackbird. Not hyperbolic metaphor.

Obarfy is lower than whale dung and that’s at the bottom of the ocean. As a rational, empathic human being your expectations just don’t sink to that level. Don’t feel bad about that. It says good thing about you that you would expect more if him. He never ceases to amaze.

SKYFOX on November 9, 2009 at 9:31 AM

Even when I preview I still miss some of these dopey mistakes. Sorry. I’d say I’ll do better next time but I probably won’t.
