This Noah’s on a Sinking Ship
Namely, the Social Security reform proposed by President Bush, who seems to be taking No Child Left Behind literally.
The battle over Social Security has been joined by an unusual lobbyist, a 9-year-old from Texas who has agreed to travel supporting President Bush's proposal.
The boy, Noah McCullough, made a splash with his encyclopedic command of presidential history, earning five appearances on the "Tonight" show and some unusual experiences in the presidential campaign last year. He beat Howard Dean in a trivia contest at the Democratic National Convention and wrote for his local newspaper about his trip to see the inauguration.
"He's very patriotic and very Republican," said Noah's mother, Donna McCullough, a former teacher and self-described Democrat. "It's the way he was born."
In a sign of how far groups go to carry their message on Social Security, Progress for America has signed up Noah, a fourth grader, as a volunteer spokesman. He starts on spring break from James Williams Elementary School in Katy, Tex.
[…]
Noah will travel to a handful of states ahead of visits by the president and will go on radio programs, answer trivia questions and say a few words about Social Security. Though he is obviously not an expert (and not really a lobbyist, either), officials say the effort is a lighthearted way to underline Mr. Bush's message.
"What I want to tell people about Social Security is to not be afraid of the new plan," Noah said. "It may be a change, but it's a good change."
[…]
Noah plans to run for the White House in 2032 - and he wants Social Security addressed before then.
"It will be bankrupt when I'm president," he said.

Aren’t there child labor laws to prevent this kind of thing? Yeesh.
I don’t want to get my hopes up here, but this really, truly seems indicative of a desperation reserved for policy proposals that are ready for the graveyard. It’s kind of like when sitcoms bring in a cute kid in season 7 to try to liven things up, you know it’s Next Stop: Cancellationville.

His momma ought to inform him that his premise is full of shit.

Kids love using their imagination to make fantastical stories come to life.

LOL, SamAm.
You know, this story is just another reason to never have kids. The little fuckers might turn out to be Republicans.

Do we have a responsibility to call Social Services on these parents? His mother is even a Democrat!
btw, thanks for the hat tip.

They'd just take him away and give him to James Dobson.
No problem. I noticed the Daou Report picked it up, too!

"He's very patriotic and very Republican"
Perhaps someone should explain to him the amount of national debt he will be paying in the next few decades. I'd bet that that would change his tune.

Do you think its remotely possible that the incredibly inept Democratic message machine could manage to make an ad that gets this frame correct.
Look ma - guess who's making Republican policy these days - nine year olds!!!!!

So he's an idiot savant then?

Jimmy Carter tried this with his daughter Amy (in a policy speech about nuclear disarmament) and people laughed at him. This is pathetic. Politicizing a young kid is the same as sexualizing a young kid (like they do little girls in those beauty pageants).

Takes the idea of "schoolyard politics" to a whole new level, huh?

Once this kid hits junior high, he's going to get his ass kicked on a daily basis.
So sad.

Horray, another Yellow Elephant in the making! He should be the perfect college republican.

Meets with 4 living Presidents, hobnobs with John Kerry and Howard Dean, beating the later two in a trivia contest and now a top selling author. kid is showing how successful being a GOP member can be. All the while donating hugh sum of money to help fight JD. Success always follows those of strong and correct beliefs.
God bless Noah, and shame to loser Democrats full of hate.

Wow - I knew that Democrats were a bit liberal and somewhat misguided, but this was an eye opener.
Granted - it is silly that the President was using this kid to push policy, but any THINKING adult won't go by the word of a child to decide where they stand on an issue.
A THINKING adult will do their research, weigh the pros and cons, and DESPITE their personal political persuasion, support which initiatives best reflect what they feel are beneficial for their and their families future.
Some of you have shown your true ignorance by railing against a child, cussing and threatening violence. What kind of people are you? If this is a sampling of the Democratic "following", it is no wonder the Republicans are holding sway.
I hope you all will take some time and truly reflect within yourselves just what it is inside you that cause such hateful reprisals against a CHILD.

Don't you worry, 8 year old literary prodigy Adora Svitak can easily win the presidential election agaist Noah. She is already working on it. Her second book "Yang in disguise", a political satire, targets Bush administration will become the best seller and you will see the hope in this incredible talent. www.adorasvitak.com

HeLlO!!!!
Are you going to let a twelve year old kid share her views on Noah? He is a bull-shiting, ignorant,ego-maniac, and a jack ass. Can someone who shared a class with him cuss and threaten violance, Michael Frisbee?
I want to be like one girl I know who actually bit him before he went with his tail between his legs away from Creech to Williams. I am twelve years old, have no political views, and hate his guts!
