Time for another round of choices for the Obamateurism of the Year!  It occured to me yesterday that I’d have to offer a poll today and on the 26th in order to fit all of the polling in and get the last poll up for New Year’s Eve.  That way we can have the grand announcement on New Year’s Day of the OOTY Award for 2010.  Otherwise, we’d have to slide it into the following week, and that would be a bit of an anticlimax.

Yesterday, voters chose Barack Obama’s math error of $868 billion on the CBO deficit projections for ObamaCare as the second semifinalist, an excellent choice — and one unhampered, fortunately, by my erroneously leaving that choice off the poll initially.  Today we have another tough round of choices to make, and I’m about 3000% sure you’ll find this so taxing it will take 17 minutes to get to the core of the choice, whether you like it or not.

• “Whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower”
• Gives 17-minute answer to question about being overtaxed
• Believes Tea Party core is Birthers
• Obama refused to be seen with Netanyahu
• “Your employer, it’s estimated, would see premiums fall by as much as 3000%!”

Don’t forget to come back Monday for Flight 4!  Tomorrow, we’ll pick the Obamateurism of the Week.  Also, I’ll still be looking for fresh OOTD candidates, even though I’ll likely hold off publishing them until after the first of the year.

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.
