"along the way, it got turned into a federalized boondoggle."

from an article in Newsweak two years ago that starts: "Jeb Bush has long advocated for all 50 states to adopt Common Core national standards. Now that the former Florida governor has all but confirmed his plans to run for president in 2016, the issue threatens to overshadow his likely campaign."

They were sure wrong about that one. Jeb wasn't in the race long enough for it to become an issue.

The rank and file of the Republican base saw through Jebby before it became an issue, and all that resulted was what had to be the MOST EXPENSIVE three delegates in history.

Bush is not unlike a lot of politicians. He hears of a new program and wants to be in on the ground floor, with acceptance and implementation.

Doesn’t matter if it really helps or not. He can point to it and say, “Look what I did! I’m the best friend educators and children ever had.”

Doesn’t matter if he’s wrong. By the time folks find out, he’s off to the next higher office.

Luckily, his plans were thwarted. The nation lucked out.

Jeb Bush: Pretty much wrong about everything.

What a NWO loser.
