So, you are saying that the fact that President Bush kept us safe is a lie? So, is your sole criteria on whether or not someone kept us safe is whether or not anyone died on their watch? Maybe you don’t realize that people died on President Reagan’s watch; did he or did he not keep us safe?
Likewise, is it utterly irrelevant that the Clinton administration were unhelpful, to say the least, during the transition period? Is it irrelevant that Mr. Al Gore was obstructing the handover process?
I think you are blinded to the context of the times.
And, in defense of Governor Jeb Bush, I think his remarks applied to actions taken after 9/11. Yes, our countrymen still died even after that point, but you are taking the remarks out of context.
There is only one problem with your assertion. That is in fact NOT what Jeb said.
He said "he kept us Safe" and yet the towers fell and thousands died on his watch and our economy crashed. And that is not even close to any definition of the word "safe"...
Was it the President's fault? No, I don't think that for a minute but I would never assert that he kept us safe from harm when almost 3000 of my countrymen died in attack on American Soil.
