Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) may be closest to Obama in his view on foreign policy, as Dr. Charles Krauthammer put it on Tuesday, but he is facing stiff competition from Jeb Bush in that category. The former Florida governor praised Obamas initial negotiating efforts with Iran on Tuesday, telling an audience in Denver that we need to give him credit for bringing other people along and making it tougher. The puzzling statement suggests the influence of James A. Baker III on the Bush campaign.
Baker, a former Secretary of State, was the co-chair of the Iraq Study Group in 2006, a policy panel that recommended the U.S. reach out to Iran and Syria and try to engage them constructively. Many of the Obama administrations policies in the Middle East were informed by the Iraq Study Groups conclusionswhich were rejected at the time by President George W. Bush, who proceeded with the surge in Iraq that eventually secured the country before Obamas precipitous pullout.
Bush recently invited Baker to serve as one of his campaigns senior foreign policy advisers. He did so days before Baker addressed the gala dinner of J Street, a far-left organization that opposes the Israeli government and supports the emerging Iran deal. In his remarks to J Street, Baker blamed Israel for the impasse in peace talks with Palestinians, said that Israel had been too skeptical of talks with Iran, and suggested no future U.S. president would support an Israeli attack on Iran.

Jeb is a poseur Republican. A fat retarded RINO of epic proportions
Jeb, you just keep giving yourself BIG LEFT HOOKS!!! And you wonder why Trump is polling so high?? America is fed up with the DO NOTHING GOPe.
I give Obama credit for bringing us closer to nuclear war.
You, my friend, are right on the money!!! Jeb bush and Obama....one and the same!!!
In the real.world even if the zero had the best of intentions his results were treasonous. Screw that pussy Bush.
And ¡Yeb! was supposed to be the smart Bush......
True
¡Jeb! is beyond embarassing. Even dogs sneer at him.
A left wing sellout of American safety and security. Complimenting the Enemy Within for seeing to it that the Iranian islamonazis have the ability to destroy their Great Satan USA is not a positive for Bush.
Jeb you are clueless!
And the left is calling Trump “unthoughtful”.
I believe this is his third act of treason, Benghazi, Cuba, and now Iran. He now has Susan Rice out there admitting it.
Corporations(General Electric, Boeing etc..) with interest in doing business in and with Iran will be lining up to do so. This agreement with Iran was just another way the Obama and Jeb Bush business donors could increase their bottom line. My opinion only and I hope I am wrong.
JEB BUSH TO AWARD HILLARY 'LIBERTY MEDAL' ON EVE OF BENGHAZI ANNIVERSARY
Former Secretary Clinton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracy, Bush said in a statement. These efforts as a citizen, an activist, and a leader have earned Secretary Clinton this years Liberty Medal.
"Everyone applaud for me! Aren't I SO awesome?"
And the left is calling Trump unthoughtful.

Oh, not just the Left, but some FReepers as well. They seem to be more interested in trashing Trump than spending time being critical of the Dem field. It’s a sight to behold!
He just keeps digging deeper and deeper!
Really? Really? Don't get carried away. By national standards, Jeb was a relatively conservative governor. If you think "moderate" fits better, fine, but he's still far from radical. He just really, really, really loves everything Mexican.
