Jeb Bush: I’d Have Been ‘Spanked’ If I Acted Like Obama (VIDEO)

Source: TPM

Jeb Bush said Thursday that he would defend his brother, former President George W. Bush, and his legacy during his convention speech on the final day of the Republican convention. Bush said President Obama's tendency to blame Bush for the recession is worthy of a "spanking."

"I'm going to start off with just a recognition: My brother is a person of courage and integrity and honor and we need people like that in public life," Bush said on "Fox & Friends" Thursday morning. "I love him dearly. I'm biased about this."

Bush said his brother is unfairly maligned by President Obama: "I just feel compelled to do this because almost every day I hear the current incumbent push down the past to make himself look better. When I was growing up, we were spanked when that happened."

"Oh, my gosh," host Gretchen Carlson said. "That's an interesting way to leave it."

17. The American people have spoken on that issue, Jebbie...

 


Poll: Bush's popularity hits new low



March 19, 2008|From Paul Steinhauser CNN deputy political director


A poll out Wednesday finds that 67 percent of those surveyed disapprove of President Bush.



Five years after he green-lighted the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, President Bush faced strikingly low approval ratings as he reaffirmed his commitment to "accept no outcome but victory" in the war.

Just 31 percent of Americans approve of how President Bush is handling his job, according to a poll released Wednesday, the anniversary of the start of the conflict in 2003.

Sixty-seven percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey disapprove of the president's performance

8. Jeb

many believe your brother and Cheney should stand trial for their actions. Only extreme RWs think that Obama should be in jail or on trial for his even if they disagree in principal.

LIE: My brother is a person of courage and integrity and honor and we need people like that in public life."


There, Jebbie, I fixed it for you.

You and your crime family are largely responsible for the downfall of this country and you all deserve a hearty spanking followed by long prison sentences.

12. But Jeb, your brother's administration came in blaming Clinton for everything

claiming the previous administration had vandalized, stolen, and destroyed WH property and they declared 'the adults are in charge again' no less.

13. And there you have one problem with corporal punishment revealed.

Just think, if everyone on this one website who truly disagreed with each other could spank each other, imagine that. Now, imagine being a young kid, not knowing much yet, just learning how to talk, and saying something that respectfully (because you love your parents) if clumsily disagrees with a parent who listens to Jeb Bush.









My guess is you learn to keep your mouth shut. So, after a few years of practicing keeping your mouth shut, then you go to school, and you're not allowed to keep your mouth shut, but since you don't communicate with your parents as a survival or anti-spanking strategy, the words come out wrong because you haven't been encouraged to communicate at home, whoops, more punishment










then you go to a work environment where education is put on a pedestal.






Where is the 'pursuit of happiness' claimed to be an inalienable right?

14. Obama vs. GW

GW had 8 years to fuck everything up and plant Cheney moles throughout the entire DC government. The magnitude of damage GW has inflicted upon our formerly great nation will take Obama five terms to clean up!

I hope my countrymen aren't stupid and racially prejudiced enough to elect a GW Bush Third term on steroids!

21. A violent abusive drunk who threatened death to anyone

who bad mouthed her kids. She did so live on Larry King's show.

Bush and clan blamed 9/11 on Clinton as well as many other things. The Republicans went straight from blaming Clinton to blaming Obama.

29. Yep

Oct 22, 2003

BUSH: Motherly. And fatherly. I mean, that's just a normal reaction.

But the same would be true if something happened that was difficult for Jeb or for Doro or Neil or Marvin. And you can criticize me, but don't criticize my children and don't criticize my daughters-in-law and don't criticize my husband, or you're dead.

22. "Acted like Obama" = killed bin Laden and outperform the other countries in recession

Perhaps in the Bush family EVERYTHING is like golf -- the lowest score wins.
