It’s time again to choose the Obamateurism of the Week, and it’s back to five contenders, or perhaps 115, depending on if you count illegal entries.  Or perhaps it’s 37 entries, if we backtrack on the count without telling anyone why.  No, it’s five entries, and they don’t paint a pretty picture — definitely without a halo, and not an homage to anyone else, either.  Maybe the next set of pictures will include Obama’s dirty look at Joe Wilson, but he’s not into scare tactics — but if you don’t vote in this poll, WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Previous “winners”:

• Obama doesn’t check to see if schools in session for his national speech

• The “public option” is just like the Post Office!

• “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

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.
