No, Barack Obama didn’t make an Obamateurism by telling the story of the woman who asked to be buried in her Obama T-shirt after dying from breast cancer. He doesn’t get an Obamateurism for making the story about himself; politicians do that all the time. He gets the Obamateurism for failing to remember her name:

If you’re going to wave the bloody shirt like Marc Antony, especially if it has your own name on the T-shirt, it’s a good idea to remember to at least say the name Julius Caesar.

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.
