Romney henchwoman, Jennifer Rubin, says: Bush had a great national security record after 9/11

[ck4829]

Washington Post political blogger and de facto Mitt Romney surrogate Jennifer Rubin has posed some questions that she thinks should be asked of President Obama during the upcoming debates. Harnessing illogic and leaning on right-wing mythology, she wants the president to admit that his record on preventing terrorist attacks is worse than George W. Bush's, because there were no terrorist attacks on the U.S. under Bush after September 11, 2001.

No seriously. Here's the question she wants Obama to answer:

After Sept. 11, 2001, there were no terrorist attacks on the United States, but during your administration there have been the jihad-inspired Fort Hood massacre and the killing of four Americans in Libya, so isn't your anti-terror record worse than Bush's?

Could have some real fun with this leap of logic. Hey, did you know the dinosaurs never went extinct if you don't include that thing that happened 65 million years ago? Hey, did you know that if you are jumping up and down and don't count the times that your feet are on the ground, then you are flying? Yep. Let's see what YOU can do. Give us your best Jennifer Rubin Logic Leap.
