1. Miscalculated.
2. Ill-thought-out.

Example: The Senator raised few eyebrows with her latest round of sarcastic remarks.

12. Are you using the "Fucked Up" dictionary?
Or are you trying to ... amuse?

4. Not too fast on the sarcasm, because i do not see it in the full quote...

Well now the fun part starts. We're into the last month, and we're going to start drawing the contrasts. Because I want every Iowan to have accurate information when they make their decisions. I don't expect to get 100 percent of the vote. But I want people to know what they're voting for, and to make the contrast, to make an informed decision. So we're going to be out there telling the people of Iowa what the facts are, setting the record straight, and having a good time doing it," she said.

Obama then slammed Clinton for suggesting that the race is just about having fun.

"This presidential campaign isn't about attacking people for fun, it's about solving people's problems, like ending this war and creating a universal health care system. Washington insiders might think throwing mud is fun, but the American people are looking for leadership that can unite this country around a common purpose, and that's what I'll continue to offer in this campaign," he said.

Obama's aggressive responses to Clinton, compounded with suggestions that she is saying whatever she needs to get elected, has helped propel him to the top spot in Iowa, according to the latest Des Moines Register poll that puts Obama at 28 percent compared to Clinton's 25. John Edwards is trailing closely with 23 percent in the poll of 500 likely Democratic caucus-goers taken Nov. 25-28. The margin of error was 4.4 percent

8. She said "Well now the fun part starts" with a smile on her face, and paused as the audience laughed
She didn't immediatley go into the "we're into the last month..." part, as you seem to imply. It was obvious sarcasm.
