From today's Washington Post, Jeb insists he's 'his own man', a laughable assertion in the face of his long history of exploiting the family name to grasp onto power and influence to enrich himself. Now, we are supposed to accept his choices of recycled war criminals to join him in his administration.
CHICAGO — Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who is considering a 2016 presidential campaign, is seeking to distinguish his views on foreign policy from those of his father and brother, two former presidents.
But he's getting most of his ideas from nearly two dozen people, most of whom previously worked for George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush.
.....
The list includes two former secretaries of homeland security, Tom Ridge and Michael Chertoff, who worked for George W. Bush; two former secretaries of state, James Baker and George Schultz, who served under George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan; two former CIA directors, Porter Goss and Michael Hayden, who also served during the second Bush presidency; and former attorney general Michael Mukasey.
Others on the list include two former World Bank presidents, Robert Zoellick and Paul Wolfowitz. There's also John Negroponte, a former United Nations ambassador and the first director of national intelligence; Stephen Hadley, who was George W. Bush's national security adviser; and Meghan O'Sullivan, who worked with Hadley and Bush on the second Iraq war.

Jeb will quickly find himself in an
untenable position.
His
refusal to address his brother's foreign policy catastrophes, in addition to a
long string of business failures and associations with partners who were later indicted, imprisoned or fled the country, Jeb seems to have an enormous problem as a judge of character and as a businessman, despite using his family name and connections to facilitate his business deals and investments.
Note to media: Jeb is masquerading as a moderate. When he states that he will surround himself with the same gaggle of war mongers that his brother employed,
Jeb Bush is NOT a moderate.
Jeb Bush is a
charter member of the Project For the New American Century. It is notable that his father and brother were not.
Do not fall for the "moderate" and "more like his father" con, when Jeb Bush sweet talks you.
And
never let him pretend his brother's aggressive wars never happened.
Jeb Bush is a neocon. A peevish, domineering, self-entitled neocon, and one we've been
watching for years in Florida. This man has
baggage.
And he is
supremely disdainful of media scrutiny.
It's beyond time to turn up the heat.
