Seven-year-old to Michelle Obama: Let’s finish what we started in Iraq

I’ll say this much for the Obamas: No one has more interesting political conversations with second-graders than they do. Something for everyone here — for the righties, some easy snark that the correct way to proceed in Iraq is obvious even to grade-school kids; for the lefties, some even easier snark that it takes someone with the mindset of a grade-school kid to think this is the correct way to proceed; and for the nonpolitical among us, a warm and fuzzy moment at the end. A good time was had by all.

Update: A commenter reminds me that the Obama camp is uniquely well positioned to engage seven-year-olds on foreign policy.

Obviously the kid was coached by his parents. Duh.

But then again, we’re liberators so we can pretty much do what we like with their country.

Ah, yes. We’re after that oil. So, we’re ruthless beasts who take whatever we want, but since the price of filling up a midsize sedan and that of a downpayment on a Malibu condo are quickly becoming equal, we’re just being punctilious about tact and manners in going after their oil and raping their land?

Do you realize how incoherent you are? Cute “DK” moniker, too. Gotta love predictability.
