We’ve locked one Obamateurism of the Week in as a semifinalist after yesterday’s Flight 1 poll. Readers chose the, er, unusual circumstance of the 2009 Nobel Prize winner hosting a state dinner in honor of the man detaining the 2010 winner for dissent, which must have been a first for the Nobel club. (Had the Nobel committee honored Vaclav Havel, it never would have happened.) Which OOTW will get the nod in today’s poll? We have five fresh candidates, one of which will go on to the semifinals next week. Note: Each poll will get closed when the next poll gets posted — so don’t put off casting your vote!
Be prepared for a stroll down memory lane! Click on the links below to review the OOTDs in today’s poll:
- Obama tells group that there is a “subterranean” racially-based agenda in opposition to his presidency
- Ferry for Americans in Libya comes three days late — and with a bill for passengers
- WH says Obama not addressing Libya because of “scheduling issue“
- After saying he hadn’t followed the Wisconsin issue, says Walker’s plan “seems like more of an assault on unions.”
- Businesses have “obligation” to create jobs and “pay decent wages”
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.
