Asked if he would use Dumbya as a goodwill ambassador, Obama does spit take

[LTR]

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.

Obama continued to hammer his Republican opponent John McCain Thursday over the latter's recent statement that deciding when US troops would be coming home from Iraq was "not too important."

6. Obama should send Bush and Cheney to Iraq

Let them walk the streets of Baghdad without security. I'm sure Bush and Cheney wouldn't mind.

After all, the surge was a success and walking the streets of Baghdad without security shouldn't be a problem.

Mission accomplished right?
