Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush said he would strive to be like Lyndon Johnson, the Democrat famous for expanding the U.S. welfare state through the “Great Society,” if he were elected president. According to the Miami Herald, Bush made those comments Wednesday night in San Antonio, Florida at Saint Leo University, while speaking about education, immigration, and energy policy.
Bush did not address Johnson’s Great Society and War on Poverty programs, about which Ronald Reagan once famously quipped, “We had a war on poverty, and poverty won.”

He vowed to approach the presidency as “master of the Senate,” as biographer Robert Caro described Johnson.

That was GWB bragging in interview that he would ram amnesty through a newly Dem controlled congress since many in GOP were opposed and they just lost congress, and he failed miserably.
Now Jeb says he would ram stuff through like LBJ did.
Curious George, the curious little monkey....
Jeb would Bomb North Vietnam?
” See you at the signing!
SJB remembers that one. “
Yeah, I blew an F’n head gasket over that one.
But this was by no means his worst statement.
