Jeb's Talk Radio Problem

“He’s not a conservative.” That’s Rush Limbaugh talking about Jeb Bush. “The ideal, the perfect ticket, for the 2016 election: Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush. Now, they can figure out who’s on top of the ticket on their own, but when you compare their positions, Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush, on the key, important issues, they are two peas in the same pod.” That, too.

Hillary and Jeb---a lot in common.

BACKSTORY The outstanding cable TV anthology show "American Greed" did a segment on Venezuelan fraudster (now jailed) Claudio Osorio. Osorio, a Venezuelan schemer, organized high profile fundraisers, and was in thick w/ Democrats Obama, Hillary and Bill-----and with Jeb Bush.

Osorio donated some $80,000 to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, according to Federal Electoral Commission records.

Osorio also donated mega-bucks to the Clinton Global Initiative Foundation.

Osorio's shell company, Innovida, submitted falsified documents and received $3.5 million in loans from the US govt----the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) supposedly to build homes in Haiti after the catastrophic earthquake. In September 2011, OPIC began questioning Innovida's "negative operating cash flow."

A court appointed receiver in charge of investigating Innovida's finances indicated that "$37.5 million in funds had been moved offshore, but he had so far been unable to find out what happened to the money." Osorio has used his constitutional privilege of invoking the fifth amendment right against self-incrimination when asked if company funds had been used to pay personal expenses.

Osorio was indicted on two counts of wire fraud and one count of major fraud, amongst other charges. Federal prosecutors said Osorio defrauded investors from 2007-10, exaggerating the company's finances and pocketing millions of dollars to fund a lavish lifestyle. The SEC claimed that Osorio had illegally used investor money to pay for a Miami Beach mansion, a Maserati car and a Colorado mountain retreat home.

Jeb Bush agreed to return $270,000 that he was paid as a consultant to convicted fraudster Claudio Osorio and Osorio’s bogus companies.

AM/GREED also aired a pic of Jeb in Haiti---apparently looking at Osorio's pre-fab housing project for Haitian refugees (which turned out to be a scam).

Good grief.

Those of us in Houston that have followed the Bush family for the last two decades know them as people that will send you a nice thank you card if you do something for them they can get one of their people to send you a thank you card over. Other than that the entire family is one collective giant hand sticking itself in to taxpayers pockets on a local, county, state and federal level. That is besides where they make their real money and that is by selling their connections in to various governments to a very large number of companies. I once got in Neil’s face and called him a crook for the Silverado Savings deal. He didn’t care. He went on to fleece school districts and Arab investors (they willingly) with that absolutely stupid Ignite thing that was funded by his brother pushing the No Child Left Behind law. Get the picture? The brother George signs legislation then Neil makes money off of it. Evcen jebbie set Neil up to sell his garbage in Florida while Babs ran point with the Houston Independent School District. Get a law passed, push a product connected to the law with a new company, get investors to put $$$ in, even the Arabs who could care less if the company is successful. Might as well take money from other investors and then leaving them holding the bag. It is as sweet a deal as “W’s” Texas stadium deal. Which was sweeter than having Harken Energy bail out Spectrum 7. Mix in a pump and dump and “W” has some cash.

The whole family does this kind of stuff. They attach themselves to a commercial venture who knows that by putting a Bush on the board or issuing stock to a Bush or their straw man they get what? Access!

This all is a great deal if you can get it. Especially if you have developed a pipeline right in to the bank of the Saudi. And really what’s the big deal? The Kennedy’s did this kind of stuff. The Clinton’s did too but they learned about what not to do in Whitewater because the states have these things called public records. Whitewater is why Bill Clinton shut down what would be open public records in most states in the state of Arkansas before he left. The Clinton’s figured out another way to get middle east oil money. They took a page out of the Jimmah Carter book and started what? A FOUNDATION! It is a great way for them to take in 100’s of millions like Carter has and keep most of the donor information a secret. Obama will likely do the same kind of thing but he has already been paid. He has thrown billions around and part of that money is sitting somewhere for him.

The joke is on us and ALL of these people are laughing their way to the bank and to their new Gulfstream. What they do, what they say when it comes to “The American People” is total BS. They don’t care, they are going to get their $$$. That is why we need to elect as the next president ANYONE besides Hillary or Jebbie. They are only there to take dollars from people and they don’t care who gets left holding the bag.
