Obamateurism of the Day

Big hat tip to NBC’s Chuck Todd on this OOTD:

Look, most sentient beings understand that a run for a second term of a presidency is going to be a referendum. Obama’s campaign team, looking at high unemployment and low growth numbers, want to argue instead that it’s all about the Republican nominee rather than the man who’s botched the job for four years, which is understandable to everyone, too. Well … almost everyone.

Or maybe Obama was serious when he gave himself a “good, solid B-plus”?

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.
