Time to get a head start on this week’s biggest Obamateurism!  Don’t worry about being unqualified to make a choice — all you really need to do is show up, because the only wrong answers are the ones that come from our President.

Note: I will be on vacation this week, and the Obamateurism feature will go on hiatus until I return.  Keep sending in the tips, though!

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.
