I’m a little under the weather today, so I’m getting to the Obamateurism of the Week poll a little late today — but I want you to know I’m fully engaged.  Trust me, I have a singular focus on getting this poll up and running, even if my head feels like it’s filled with tar balls.  I didn’t need the Little Admiral to call me this morning to ask me, “Did you plug the poll yet, Grandpa?”

Got an Obamateurism of the Day? If you see a foul-up by Barack Obama, e-mail it to me at [email protected] 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.
