Talk about some 'serious baggage'...

As Jeb, the smart brother, prepares his run for the White House, he is obviously trying to distance himself from GW, although the rightwingnuts 'out there' can't understand why.

CHICAGO (AP) - Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Wednesday that "there were mistakes made in Iraq" during his brother's administration, offering the critique during a wide-ranging speech on foreign policy that comes as part of his run-up to a likely presidential campaign.

'Don't confuse me with my relatives, I am my own man', he says, as the country is still trying to recover from the previous Bush administration. The older Bush brother finished his second term in 2009 amid an unpopular war in Iraq, an economy in freefall and with a majority of Americans (78%)disapproving of his job performance.
It WILL be interesting to watch Jeb, the smart one, deal with the Tea Party whackjobs(R), as the potential nominees slug it out, trying to convince the rubes in Bumpkinville(R), that they are the 'Most Conservative', before the winner hits the national campaign trail and disavows all his 'deeply held beliefs'.
So, as GW said, 'it ain't rocket surgery', knowing that the clown car is gonna be fun to watch, as Jeb begins to distance himself from his older, slower brother. I'm just wondering if the Repub brain trust is gonna pair him with Sarah Palin or Hermann Cain, trying to get something other that the 'old white man' vote?

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store
