Jeb Bush to National Urban League: 'There are unjust barriers to opportunity and upward mobility

Jeb Bush to National Urban League: 'There are unjust barriers to opportunity and upward mobility in this country'.

Jeb Bush in his address Friday to the National Urban League will talk about a “listening and learning” phase following his 1994 campaign in which he made comments that were offensive to African-Americans, play up charter schools, criticize a "losing" war on poverty and discuss his decision as governor to take down the Confederate flag.

“I know that there are unjust barriers to opportunity and upward mobility in this country. Some we can see, others are unseen but just as real,” reads Bush’s speech, obtained by the Tampa Bay Times. “So many lives can come to nothing, or come to grief, when we ignore problems, or fail to meet our own responsibilities. And so many people could do so much better in life if we could come together and get even a few big things right in government. I acted on that belief as governor of Florida. It’s a record I’ll gladly compare with that of anyone else in the field.

He really is a great candidate for the Democrats...He’s a better Hillary than Hillary is...without those pesky servers in the basement issues.

Yikes! More white privilege guilt syndrome. I must be weird ‘cause I suffer from a deficit of such ‘feelings’.

I would not vote for Jeb Bush to save my own life.

Agree Jeb will NEVER get my vote. 2012 was the very last time I will ever cast a vote for a GOPe puke.

One has to be utterly delusional to think that Jeb would be any different than Hillary or Sanders -- all three are hard core statists.

Heck, Jeb would like invite ALL of Mexico plus latin America here.

Jeb or Hillary would put the final nail in the coffin of our Republic.

That’s it Jebby, keep pandering to voters you’re never going to get anyway. I hear that Trump is even ahead of Jeb among Latino voters.

Better step up the Spanish jibber jabber Jeb.

Hey, I think I just found a new name for the Jebster - Jibber Jabber Jeb.

This is from a guy who was born with a gold spoon in his mouth. He didn’t have to move upward. He was already there.

It’s laughable how many millions of Americans after all that has happened still long for a Third Bush.

Oh Brother. I am so sick of rich politicians, stars or CEO’s
telling me how bad things are and how unfair things are for minorities. Things are hard for people of all colors.

Screw Bush I hope his campaign implodes big time so he will just go away and he can take Clinton with him.

I’ll write in Vladimir Putin’s name before I’d vote for this tool. His loyalty is to Mexico, not the US. If it’s between Yeb and Hitlery, I hope Hitlery wins. At least the inevitable crash would happen faster. I’ll never vote for Jeb, NEVER!!

Does this mean the Bush family will give up their Ivy League legacy preferences ? Of course not.

It’s like Jeb’s advisors are polling conservatives for our position on every issue and then telling Jeb to take the opposite position out of spite.

Donald Trump IS the American dream. Jeb is telling people it's not possible anymore.

I wonder which message will inspire voters to vote for him?
