Questioner in Wisconsin: Will you make Bush ambassador to Iraq? Obama's reaction is priceless.

[Blondiegrrl]

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was taking questions at a town hall meeting in Wisconsin when he fielded a rather unexpected question about who he might have helping implement his Iraq policy.

A questioner asked if Obama would send George W. Bush to Iraq, as ambassador, after the president leaves office. Obama, who was sipping from a bottle of water, seemed to almost do a spit-take at the absurdity of the suggestion.

"Honestly, we need someone really good in that job," Obama said, indicating that letting Bush anywhere near the country he willfully invaded would be out of the question in an Obama administration.

The video link is at the bottom of the article. The "Iraq ambassador" question is toward the end, about 6 minutes in or so.

2. I say: Make Bush the ambassador whether he wants it or not

That is to say, determine that he never finished his term of enlistment, reactivate him as part of the Air National Guard, then "lend" him to the army for a tour of duty in Iraq on the front lines. As a private. For as long as the stop-loss order remains in effect. :evilgrin:

9. That was close, he had just taken a sip of water when..

that guy asked that crazy question!

I see that Obama had to pause for about 20 seconds, to get the water down.

12. Someone tell me if I'm hallucinating.

Go to about 1:15 in that video, then let it play forward and watch over Obama's left shoulder.

How the hell big is that guy's head at 1:20? Good GOD! It looks about 50% bigger than Obama's and he's back BEHIND him for cripes sake. It's freaking me out.

13. The woman too. I believe it's just a trick of the telephoto lens that camera is using.

14. Bush should be sent to Iraq Naked

and forced to bury the dead there for the rest if his life - with a Spoon.

And I'm not kidding, not at all.

Lower than shower scum. I sure as hell hope that him, Cheney, Rove and the rest of them are charged with War Crimes after leaving office. Hey, Media? You want a REAL Story that will captivate the entire planet for a Long Time? Think cameras at The Hague - with any luck, some of YOU Complicit sons a bitches will be sitting in a box right next to Bush, for Hawking a Fake goddam war that's killed and displaced Millions of innocent people..

All for a Buck. The Goddam Almighty Dollar.

One of my old pals had a great idea for people who were found guilty of extremely heinous crimes against humanity.

The guilty party were STRIPPED of their Humanity, no longer considered a Human Being. You could do anything to them, just like an animal...
