Reporter Mark Smith wants Bush to do an Obama and meddle in their consumption habits: “Why have you not called on Americans to drive less and turn down their thermostats?”
Bush: “People are smart enough to figure out whether they should drive less…it’s presumptuous to do so…they can decide. Of course they should conserve…let them decide.”
What the reporter is really saying is that Americans are stupid and unless the president tells them what to do they'll just stumble around aimlessly. It's nice to hear the president knock that one down, and it's too bad that neither McCain nor Obama would answer the question that way.
