Jeb Bush said in a radio interview on Thursday that it wasn't appropriate for Sarah Palin to blame President Obama for her son's actions.
Palin's son, Track, was arrested on domestic violence charges earlier this week stemming from altercation in which he allegedly hit his girlfriend while drunk. The former Alaska governor in a speech on Wednesday said President Obama didn't do enough for veterans, citing her son.
"I don't know the details of it, but I do know that we have a problem of post-traumatic stress," the presidential candidate and former Florida governor said on Kilmeade and Friends. "It's a serious problem and that the Veterans Administration needs to do a better job of creating centers of excellence to deal with veterans."
"Our communities need to rise up to help veterans," he continued. "We have homeless veterans, we have people that are suicidal and who have committed suicide. It's a national tragedy, all of us I think have a responsibility to roll up our sleeves -- I don't think blaming the president is appropriate."

Not sure I get all the kerfuffle. Our Veterans do come back with PTSD. Some come back more damaged than others. Obama doesn’t support any of them.

Actually, it's pretty amazing -- how he always says the exact wrong thing. That's hard to do.

It’s time for Bush and his wife to date other men.
(That said, I think Palin’s schtick has worn thin. Time for her to go back to Wasillia.)

Isn't the most conservative position to hold Track accountable for his own behavior? Actually, I think the most conservative position is to leave Track out of your political diatribes, Palin hater.
Oh, BTW - I notice that you're one of those "Cruzer" donationn00bies.
What's up with that? Somebody tell you there was a free kegger at Free Republic?

Perhaps, but Yeb should have just gone with a 'no comment' on this subject.
That said, Mrs. Palin was correct to remind people that this President, and his toadies, have not done anything positive for veterans - witnessed by the on-going V.A. fiascos. She was wrong to use it as an excuse for her son - IF she did so - but Yeb was out of line spouting his opinions on this matter. A 'no comment' would have sufficed.

Jeb is right. An Adult child is accountable for their own actions but after all Palin is a woman. Woman tend to protect their children no matter what.
