Jeb Bushs candidacy has a problem, says brother George. Me.
Its an easy line to say, Havent we had enough Bushes? After all, even my mother said, Yes, the former president told an audience of 7,000 health IT experts here on Wednesday.
Thats why you wont see me out there, and he doesnt need to defend me, and hes totally different from me. The role of family is not to be a political adviser or a policy adviser there are plenty of those around the role is to say, Hey man, I love you.

(43,890 posts)He's not saying the problem is that he royally fucked up while president. He's saying there's been too many Bushes in the presidency. Just like there have been too many Clintons in the presidency also. So he's trying to use this against HRC.

(7,570 posts)Well, the first step in recovery is admitting that you have problem.
The second step is never to pick up again.

(11,094 posts)No, make that the entire world. Jeb will be lucky if his candidacy is all that`s ruined by his war criminal brother. Maybe Jeb should pay a visit to Walter Reed, then watch the latest Iraq segment of the evening news tonight to get a better idea about his brother`s disastrous presidency.
