Jeb Bush vowed Monday that he will not scapegoat President Obama for any challenges he faces should he be elected president.
"My pledge to you - when I'm president I will not blame Barack Obama for a single thing," he told listeners at the Nashua Country Club in Nashua, N.H. "The day that I'm sworn into office, I'm on watch - whatever it is.

Jeb might get more votes if he said he would investigate the current administration with a goal of jail time for treason, sedition, and subversive activities...I’ll have to check all the links and find out if they are teaching how to do it or how to prosecute.

Oy. He’s such a loser.

Jeb Bush Accuses Obama Of ‘Getting Us Into A Quagmire’ In Middle East
GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush offered up his strategy for dealing with ISIS in the wake of Friday’s attacks in Paris — and declared, with no apparent sense of irony, that President Obama is creating a mess in the Middle East.
‘What I would do is, what I proposed at the Reagan Library two months ago — which is to defeat ISIS, and to defeat Assad, to bring stability because it’s in our national security interests to do it,’ Bush said Monday morning on Fox & Friends. ‘That requires a no-fly zone, safe zones. It requires arming directly the Kurdish forces in Iraq. It means reengaging with the Sunni tribal leaders that were successful in fighting with us, side-by-side, with the surge.
‘It means a strategy — we don’t have a strategy right now. This president is incrementally getting us into a quagmire, without having a strategy to defeat ISIS. This is a threat to Western civilization, a threat to our own country. We need to be merciless in this effort.’
Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck also offered this question to Jeb — and like the former Florida governor, she apparently showed no sense of irony about the impact of the Iraq War: ‘Governor, can you reconcile this equation for me: less troops, no strategy, a dose of denial — and yet still offering to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees into our land right here?’
Bush’s response was that this was indeed a ‘bad formula’ — that instead of taking in refugees here, the goal should be to create ‘safe zones’ in the region itself so that people would not have to leave. He did say, however, that he would have ‘compassion for people that are not part of this fight,’ by taking in Christian refugees.
And while calling for a no-fly zone, Bush also criticized the idea of the Obama administration talking to Russia (who are, of course, currently flying inside Syria). ‘Look, I think it’s always good to talk to people. But we need to be talking to them from a position of strength, not weakness. And that’s exactly where we are today as it relates to our role in the Middle East — a position of complete weakness.’

The Whale That Destroyed New Jersey can be rather intimidating when he attacks.
I honestly think he’s too dumb to understand how he sounds.
“...I will not blame Barack Obama for a single thing,”
“Please clap...”
“You...yeah you, in the red...wake up!”
You sure that wasn’t Patton? Hey they could stand in line and both slap him.
He absolutely could have handled it better. But what I think happened was that Rubio was prepared for an attack from Trump and shocked when Christie opened up on him. Frankly, I think it was a setup between Trump and Christie. Trump has always referred to Obama as “incompetent” and Rubio was ready for him but when he realized there had been a switch and bait he didn’t know what else to do but use the line he was prepared to use on Trump. Nice to know that New York and New Jersey still work together against conservatism.
Yeah, but something tells me these nuggets will keep coming and Yeb still won’t have a clue why he can’t exceed 5% support.
Would someone please clap? /sarc
He would blame Freepers.
Stick a fork in him, he’s done!
Get out of the race - NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR THAT AND THE ONLY ONES BELIEVING IT HAVE OD’d ON THE OBIE KOOL-AID
Won’t happen anyway...
I meant Patton. Watching too many stump speeches on C-Span.
Much like his brother keeping his mouth shut for 8 years
Chuckle. I had forgotten that.
I have reminded here, fairly often, that Jeb supports ...
1. Amnesty for illegal aliens
2. Common Core, and
3. is weak on 2A, yet lied about receiving an award from the NRA.
I'll need to add the Hillary medal as a number 4.
.
So Jeb will take it in the chin when Obama’s mess blows up. Just what we need. Another Bush covering up for Demonrats.
