We’ve been highlighting the amateurish stumbles of our new President since March, and now it’s time for Hot Air readers to pick the Obamateurism of the Year! Over the next few days, I’ll offer polls in different brackets (or “flights”) of previous Obamateurism of the Week winners, and you’ll pick the winners between five or six selections in a new poll each day, except Christmas. I also hand-selected a few second-place winners in a second-chance bracket, which will run next week. After we’ve narrowed down to eight finalists, Hot Air readers will select the OOTY!
Three of the eight slots in the OOTY finals have already been filled:
- Obama bows to Saudi King Abdullah
- Warning on deficits and spending while pushing big-spending programs
- Change in Iran coming because “Obviously, after the speech I made in Cairo…”
That last winner turned out to be easier than I figured — it won almost half of the votes in yesterday’s semifinal. Today’s may be tougher, as it pits at least three classic Obamateurisms against each other. Which will make it into the finals? Cast your vote and decide:
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.
