This week, President Bush decided to once again show his family values. While walking away from reporters, he did something that is starting to become a trade mark, he flipped them the middle finger.

I am not a prude by any means, but for the leader of the most powerful nation in the world to act this way really shows his mentality. Bush talks about family values and devotion to his religion, yet he finds humor in this show of discontent towards the media.

While some stand the ground of it “only being a finger”, others do find insult in it. Road rage has been caused by this gesture, and fights have broken out over it. It can be considered humorous or cute, but not when it is done by the President of the United States.

I am now waiting to hear stories about children getting kicked out of school for flipping the finger to their peers or teachers. I can hear their argument now. “The President does it”. This will lead to some very interesting arguments. Is the President not supposed to lead by example? Well this is his example.

President Bush, we have now found your legacy that any second term President looks to leave behind. You will forever be memorialized as George “The Bird” Bush. Congratulations on your new honor!
