WaPo: Four times Jeb Bush implicitly criticized his brother on Monday

[spanone]

Here's a bit of analysis for you: One of Jeb Bush's trickiest problems is that the president that preceded Barack Obama was his brother, George Walker Bush. Did you know that? It is true.

But that didn't really come up during Jeb's presidential announcement Monday. The references to W. were generally oblique ones -- and ones that, notably, seemed to imply some criticism.

For example:

Jeb said: &quot The Democrats) are responsible for the slowest economic recovery ever, the biggest debt increases ever..."

He didn't mention: What the recovery was recovering from: The recession that began under George W.'s administration. He also didn't mention that the debt increases began under his brother -- a response to that same economic shock.

1. I see Jeb as more a : than a !

2. If he feels that he needs to "run from " his brother's record, he shouldn't have entered the race.
