Time to start considering which of the Obamateurisms of the Week deserve to compete for the final Obamateurism of the Year award — and you won’t find too many more interesting than these.  Don’t just be a tourist; fulfill your dreams by casting a vote without making provisions for a fallback position. If you don’t and your choice doesn’t win, you have no one to complain to but yourself.

• Giving 2 minutes of “shout-outs” before getting to the Fort Hood shooting (2009)
