Time to cast votes for your endorsed Obamateurism of the Week candidate, but let’s not point fingers if your candidate loses.  We have freedom of expression, after all, as long as you don’t ask any questions about the balloting, 0r we’ll have to see your papers while we criticize OOTW enforcement in Arizona.  We are not defined by the borders of our survey, after all.

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.
