Of the many millions of people who have made it to President Obama’s unofficial “hit list” perhaps the top entry should be reserved for the folks who write his speeches.
While it would be easy to point fingers at President Obama’s telemprompter, or TOTUS, the reality is that there is someone who provides TOTUS with his words. That person(s) is President Obama’s speech writers.
Ed Morrissey at HotAir.com has increased his reader base with a humorous daily section called the Obamateurism of the Day. An Obamateurism refers to any of the many mistakes or foul-ups President Obama makes when he reads the prepared material from his teleprompter, or when he veers off script and tries to ad lib.
Readers are given the opportunity each week to vote on the Obamateurism of the Week, and at the end of the year they can vote on the Obamateurism of the Year.
The Obamateurism of 2009 was, well, I won’t spoil it for you. You can read it here.
I would recommend that President Obama direct his criticism at the folks who write his speeches, but then I wouldn’t get the opportunity to catch up with my daily dose of Obamateurisms.
Rock on, speech writers!
