Anyone who harbored the thought that Jeb might be a better man than Dubya by now should have evicted that thought and changed the locks. Raw Story:
In an interview with the Union Leader, aspiring 2016 Republican presidential nominee Jeb Bush took a slap at the foreign policies of President Barack Obama, stating that the leader of the free world uses too many big words and wastes his time at conferences with world leaders instead of forging ahead.
In video captured by C-SPAN, Bush criticized the White House’s nuclear negotiations with Iran calling it, “the Clinton-Kerry-Obama foreign policy playing out.â€
Bush then advocated for more blunt and simple type of statesmanship — reminiscent of the style of his brother, former President George W. Bush as well as Vice President Dick Cheney — in dealing with world.
“You don’t have to be the world’s policemen, but you have to be the world’s leader and there’s a huge difference,†Bush explained. “This guy — this president and Secretary Clinton and Secretary Kerry – when someone disagrees with their nuanced approach where it’s all kind of so sophisticated it makes no sense. You know what I’m saying?â€
Bush continued, “Big syllable words and lots of fancy conferences and meetings and – We’re not leading. That creates chaos. It creates a more dangerous world. So restoring the alliances that have kept the world safer and our country safer – getting back to a position in the Middle East where there’s no light between Israel and the United States.â€
One wonders whom the Bushies hire to help Jeb use a fork and tie his shoes.
Fortunately there’s velcro, a byproduct of the space program. But, access to sharp objects would definitely be counter indicated.
I also worry about the millions of others, who might buy into this nonsense. That’s giving me renewed expat fantasies.
The GOP needs to steer COMPLETELY clear of foreign policy. As with domestic policy, they have NOTHING to say, but with foreign policy, the opponents are heavily armed.
Jeb! will surround himself with all of W’s NewCLOWN Bushies.
You know – the ones who were profoundly wrong on all accounts in the Middle East, and the rest of the world!
And the economy.
They wanted to show how big America’s balls were, but they kept stepping on their d*cks every time!
OY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What were the circumstances of North Korea having nuclear bombs now, Jeb?
They had a contained nuclear program incapable of building bombs, with outside observers and inspections, courtesy of President Clinton and ex-President Carter. That ended with your brother George’s methods, which were basically don’t do any work and throw around a lot of insults. As a result North Korea was able, and motivated, to restart their nuclear weapons program and build nuclear bombs.
Tell us again, Jeb, how wonderfully well that works.
I had to look up that extra-long and confusing word, aspire: to long, aim, or seek ambitiously; be eagerly desirous, especially for something great or of high value, because it didn’t fit my understanding of Jeb. He’s just going through the motions to prove something to his dad and big brother, like in his totally useless governorship of Florida, which he used to serve his kinfolk.
This family deserves every ounce of public humiliation that we can pile onto them.
No light between America and Israel?
Speaking as a fed-up secular American Jew, verily I say unto you:
Let there be light!
that Jeb! is considered the “smart” Bush brother tells you just how low that bar really is.
The candidate for stupid people who feel threatened by an intelligent President.
I feel sorry for the entire world if this imbecile gets elected President. He’d bring all the usual suspects with him, fucking up the world since Beirut and Iran-Contra.
