Obamateurism of the Day

Jim Geraghty notices a telling juxtaposition of wire stories, and frames them in a way that the media won’t:

The White House responded to former vice president Cheney’s accusation of “dithering” on war decisions by countering that Cheney had “not focused on Afghanistan” for seven years; the following day, President Obama left for a series of fundraisers in Connecticut and Massachusetts and a weekend golf outing.

I don’t think that this decision should get rushed, and hopefully Obama reaches the right decision.  However, thus far he hasn’t much room to opine on focus.

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.
