Margaret Thatcher famously said that her greatest success as a politician was the rise of Tony Blair to lead a party he called New Labour: “We forced our opponents to change their minds.” As yet, Barack Obama can make no similar boast. Just the opposite: He radicalized his Republican opponents, and empowered most those who agreed with him least. With the presidential campaign of Jeb Bush, Obama can finally glimpse Thatcher-style success. Here, at last, is an opponent in his own image.
What can the son and brother of a president, grandson of a senator, and great grandson of the founder of the Walker Cup have in common with the son of a failed Kenyan politician? Look beyond the biography to the psychology.
Unlike his more guarded elder brother, Jeb Bush talks openly and candidly about himself. Of course, there are limits to candor. Jeb Bush has spent almost all of the past 20-plus years either in public office or in pursuit of it. He understands self-presentation and is adept at it: There is artfulness in his artlessness.
Yet when a man speaks for the record as often as has Jeb Bush, he deposits there enough material to learn something interesting about the man he is, rather than the boy he was.
Jeb Bush will tell you that, thanks to his marriage to his Mexican-born wife, he is bicultural. Here he is speaking at New York’s 92nd Street Y in November 2013:

Bicultural is just another acronym for ‘diversity’. Because he is married to an Hispanic woman isn’t cause to betray the sovereignty of his own country. His “they’re here because of love” crap is really “I’m saying this because I love my wife’s heritage more than my country.”
Interesting question.
He heavily identifies with the Hispanic parts of his family.
However, I doubt he’s a Muslim.
I even think he’s US-loyal, but even more All-World-Loyal. Unlike Obama, he’s not (IMHO) a covert foreign (Islamic) agent.
So, maybe on a scale of 1 to 10, he’s a half-or one-third-Obama.
Please, GOP, don’t let the primaries be manipulated to make him your candidate.
Here’s a question. Who in the hell is gonna hire them to mow their lawns? Another illegal? Or, would they all just subsist on Section 8, TANF, SNAP, WICs, EITC, ObamaPhone, utility assistance, church food pantries, etc.?
In the end, all that will REALLY count is whether they show up and vote Democrat.
Well Obama is a democrat Bush.
Correct, given that he is just is inept as Dorkbama, and the Republican Party is simply the slightly right side of the new Uniparty.
Is Jeb Bush a Republican Obama?

No. Certainly not. A Republican Clinton? Oh yes. Bill AND Hillary all tied together in one little Jebbie.
A Republican Obama? Talk about a way to make him unappealing to everyone...

Frum my have viewed this as a puff piece, but it’s far more of a kiss of death to Jebbie than a genuine hand up, since it says Jebbie will continue Obola’s plan of sodomizing the US into a third world outhouse.
Frum is one of the few pundits who understands the role immigration plays in causing economic troubles for the middle and lower classes.
I even think he’s US-loyal, but even more All-World-Loyal.
BINGO!
With Jeb running for President, we’re finally going to hear David Frum say something nice about a Republican again.
Damn straight.
Jeb is a mulatto? Damn! I didn’t know that.

“Shemp” Bush learned at his globalist father’s knee just like his older brother W. His defining difference is that he’s a Mexican Catholic, who let’s his hIspanic wife blow in his ear at bedtime.
No votes coming for him from this household. He would be death by a thousand cuts.
Jeb would be very bad for the nation but there is only one obamaterrorist.
