Poll: What was the Obamateurism of the week?
posted at 9:41 am on April 11, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
I’m still hanging in the Big Easy, but there’s nothing easy about this week’s OOTW poll. There’s also nothing ambiguous about the series of gaffes and stumbles this week. I’m sure there are explanations for each one, whether they go 300 words or 17 minutes, but at least you won’t need a scorecard on this one to remember the star player.
Previous 2010 “winners”:
- Believes Tea Party core is Birthers
- Obama refused to be seen with Netanyahu
- “Your employer, it’s estimated, would see premiums fall by as much as 3000%!”
- Obama off by $868 billion on CBO deficit savings projection of ObamaCare
- Obama challenges GOP on tort reform, winds up proving GOP point on reconciliation
- Obama’s “Acme Insurance” anecdote proves he doesn’t understand insurance
- Obama claims 2 million jobs saved or created, website shows 590K
- Obama gripes about filibusters in a year with none … after having 60 seats in the Senate
- Obama says “corpse-man” for corpsman 3 times at Nat’l Prayer Breakfast
- Scolding the Supreme Court over ruling that he got completely wrong during SOTU
- People are unhappy with Obama’s performance because he didn’t get enough public face time to explain himself
- Suddenly jobs saved or created “never expected to be the public accounting of Obama’s goal to save or create 3.5 million jobs”
- Obama rushes home for minor injury to family friend, keeps golfing after EunuchBomber attack

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.

Nice buggy!!!
We just have a boring 600 Polaris and I’m afraid to do any fancy stuff any more, because my dog rides with me.

American hating democrat demagogue Obama is wonderful!

Dude…Tons of skill, with some luck thrown in. I found myself leaning constantly, though not quite as quickly as he did.

Great collection this week. Lots of stupidity and amateurishness. But giving up our strategic ambiguity is worse than amateurish. It’s dangerous.

Give the indecisive a vote present button.

That 17 minute answer that didn’t answer why – we have to be overtaxed.

Obama dumps strategic ambiguity on nuclear response.
The rest are just minor buffoonery.
Slowburn on April 11, 2010 at 7:41 PM
Amateurish and dangerous in one move.
Give away your strategic nuclear response Plan’s weaknesses to your enemies.
EPIC FRIKKIN’ FAIL.

I’d be willing to bet that Sarah Palin can throw a baseball better than Barack Hussein Obama (“Mmmmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmmmmm”)
