Poll: Obamateurism of the Week?

Once again, it’s time for me to “hoist” the weekly Obamateurism poll onto Hot Air readers, and let me tell you, this week has some tough choices. In fact, if you counted up the number of Obamateurisms, this would be one of the longest weeks in the world, I think. Some would say that we shouldn’t have flashy polls during an economic crisis, but I’d ask those people to demonstrate the same tolerance the Muslims showed when they ran Cordoba during the Inquisition. And if for some reason hackers decide to black out this poll, at least they won’t continue that long string of major metropolitan blackouts that has pushed Obama to demand a cybersecurity czar.

Previous “winners”:

• “We can no longer afford to spend as if deficits do not matter and waste is not our problem.”
• Siccing Tim Geithner and Charlie Rangel on tax cheats
• Phony Churchill quote on torture throws Grandpa under the bus
• Torture probe flip-flop
• Obama covers up IHS while quoting Jesus
• Austrian is a language?
• Obama bows to the Saudi king
• 1908 Model T got better gas mileage than today’s SUVs

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.
