Aides report that Obama is toying with the idea of naming defeated rival Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) to the newly created post of “Ambassador to America.” The idea is said to have arisen from the Senator Obama’s “feelings of alienation from a large segment of the population.”
“If my administration is to be successful, I’ve got to be able to communicate with the bitter minority that opposed me,” Obama is reported to have said. “Who could be better suited to such a task than Senator McCain? He was able to persuade nearly 60 million of them to vote for him. Now maybe he can persuade them to support my efforts to change America.”
McCain is said to be open to the idea of becoming the first American to be appointed as an ambassador to his own country. “The classic definition of an ambassador is someone sent abroad to lie for his country,” McCain observed. “Being able to fulfill this traditional role without having to leave home would be a truly unique opportunity. I would’ve been just another white, male president. Now, I could be, like George Washington, the ‘father’ of a new American tradition in governance. It’s a dream come true.”

LOL...almost had me.
This is satire correct? Its hard to tell anymore.
Wow. I believed that until I looked up and saw the word “satire”.
oh that would be great....replace a republican senator with a Dhimmi one by Dhimmi Governor Napolitano.
Is this the kindler, gentler Administration?
What does it say about a government that needs an ambassador to its own people?
LOL, almost choked on my coffee.
“Who could be better suited to such a task than Senator McCain?
Sarah.
ooops missed the satire....not like me.
And he will do so out of his Office of the President-non-elect.
What a zinger THAT one is! ROTF!!!
Don’t feel bad. I DID fall for it, in my previous post.
Just not looking for satire with such melancholy seen lately.
McCain’s even MORE alientated from Americans than is 0bama.
As in most satire, it’s not that far fetched - I could see 0bama doing such a thing.
Knowing McLame, he’d take the job if it were offered.
This idea is so stupid that, for a minute, I actually believed Obama thought of it!
It is so correct that it’s hard to tell.
Damn! I was about to post a response and then I looked again! You are too good at this!
...Aaahahahahah! Excellent post! What a hoot! One problem, this planted seed might grow. My biggest fear...
Good satire must be close to the truth to be funny. This rings too close to the truth and something Obama would come up with. It’s all about image.
