Poll: OOTY Prelims, Flight 9

Welcome to the final OOTY preliminary poll!  Last week voters decided that what happened in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas after all. This poll pits the final two OOTWs against four new entries after the final weekly poll.  It’s a tough choice this time around, so, er … pucker up, buttercups:

• “If four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal.”
• Refuses to talk to reporters about Benghazi, but grants interview to Us Magazine
• Tells rally that they have a tough choice to make “in four days” … three days before the election
• Spends Election Day playing basketball rather than working on Hurricane Sandy relief
• Tries to kiss Aung Sang Suu Kyi
• Gives eulogy for Daniel Inouye, mostly talks about himself

Previous Obamateurisms of the Year:

• Giving 2 minutes of “shout-outs” before getting to the Fort Hood shooting (2009)
• Obama leaves Clinton at press conference podium on tax deal to attend Christmas party (2010)
• “I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president— with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln.” (2011)

For more on the history and end of the OOTDs, here’s my post from November 9th.
