Obamateurism of the Day

Just when we thought that the Win A Date With Tad Hamilton President Obama $5 fundraiser couldn’t possibly get more embarrassing, Legal Insurrection reports that the WH-Mart Blue Light Special got even more blue.  Adding Joe Biden to the dinner with President Obama didn’t help keep the already-bargain-basement price from falling.  As the fundraising quarter came to a close, the Obama campaign slashed raffle prices 40%:

I wanted to say thank you before the midnight deadline passes. And I’m looking forward to thanking four of you in person over dinner sometime soon.

If you haven’t thrown your name in the hat yet, make a donation of $3 or more before midnight tonight — you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to be one of our guests.

More soon,

You know, if Obama would find a way to cut government spending by 40% — almost the size of the deficit in his budgets — I daresay he’d have a lot more takers for the Dinner With Barack fundraiser.

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.
