It’s time once again to choose the Obamateurism of the Week, and once again, we have so many good choices that one might get a sense of enthusiasm — perhaps even infectious enthusiasm. Feel free to do your research, but if you do, be sure you’re looking at the correct documents first. It also helps to remember where you’re at, and if you have to rely on silly crutches, don’t publish the pictures.
Previous 2010 “winners”:
- 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 [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.
