Jeb Bush praised Obama but defend his brother
2009
Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor and brother of President Bush, has decided not to run for the U.S. Senate, ending weeks of speculation and hope by many of his supporter especially among evangelicals and other conservatives, and that of course including Bush's father, the former President George H.W. Bush.
Jeb Bush also called on his fellow Republicans to "support Obama initiatives if they don't go against the core principles of the party.
He praised Obama's choice for Education secretary, Chicago Public Schools chief Arne Duncan, calling him a "reformer at heart", ran a tremendous campaign, and proud to call Obama his president," Bush said in the statement. He added that Obama appeared to be a "very impressive guy" who is "smart, disciplined, not rash." And he called on Republicans to avoid targeting the new president with the same kind of partisan attacks that he said Democrats had hurled unfairly at his brother -- attacks that he summed up as "Bush-hating."
"The opposition should be about ideas and not what my brother suffered through in the last eight years," he said. "I don't wish that on President Obama."
Jeb Bush look like smarter than his brother, but he fail to notice the differences.
The US and the whole world suffered through George Bush tenure, the last eight years. Unfortunatelly all of his brother's previous bad policy, decision and moronic gesture will continue to live for many more years to come.
