In the world of fairy tales, great and powerful men are often helped to victory by the small and weak. But in the US it has happened for real.
Nine – year – old Noah McCullough from Texas, has taken on the role of speaking to the public in support of President George W. Bush’s social security reforms.
On February 25 he signed an agreement with the American Congress to work for the White House as a volunteer. “What I want to tell people about social security is not to be afraid of the new plan,” Noah said. “It may be a change, but it’s a good change.”
Besides this task, he already has a higher goal. He plans to run for the White House in 2032. So far, Noah seems to have a very bright future.
Despite his age, Noah already has his firm opinion on running the US. “I firmly believe that the combination of large business and small governments creates a peaceful and present society because industry can stimulate (刺激) economic growth,” he said.
Noah’s politics do not come from his parents. “He is very patriotic(爱国的) and very republican,” said Noah’s mother, Donna McCullough. “It’s the way he was born.”
Noah’s interest began after a mock(模拟) election in the kindergarten when he was five years old. Now he has read more than 3,000 books on presidential history. He can recite the names of all 43 American presidents. He can also describe the achievements and events that took place during a president’s term of office.
His unusual experiences in the presidential campaign last year made him a famous figure. He was a member of Bush’s presidential campaign team. He gave speeches at the Republican convention (大会) and followed Bush around on his tour of 27 states. President Bush thinks highly of the boy, saying that he is “the miracle kid of the White House”.
