That is Bush's legacy. A seven year old child asking a fake question of the president about what he can do to help fight terrorism. It should be a vivid reminder to us as we continue to hear this fake president sell us his failed vision. When asked fair questions, he hides behind the troops, either using them at staged events, or using them symbolically to choke off the right to dissent they are fighting to protect. When not using the troops, Bush uses our collective fears against us. At every turn invoking the memory of 911 to cower us. When not using the troops or fear, Bush has now proven he will leave no child behind in his war on the truth. Propping up his failed wars behind the fake question of a seven year old boy, George Bush continues to insult the collective intelligence of Americans. In direct response to the question from the seven year old, George Bush said:
"Well, that's the hardest question I've had all day."
The sad thing is that it was the hardest question George Bush faced all day. While the president was joking however, America is no longer laughing at a leader who cannot answer a question that is not pre-screened. A leader who thinks it is acceptable to gather pre-selected people with pre-selected questions to afford him a pulpit to sell his failed vision, and pretend it is all happenstance. The absolute worst thing though, is a leader who thinks the people he represents are entirely too stupid to see the strings moving when he speaks.
