Jeb Bush on Obama: 'The Guy Is on the Right Track'

And that is why Jeb Bush won't be President. He's a closet liberal, just like his father and brother. Jeb should read the writing on the national wall: "Jeb, shut up!" Barack Obama not in the pocket of the teacher's union? Is he out of his mind? Did the Florida sun burn his brain?

Heck, a blind squirrel got lucky and found a nut. So he has some intuition about education. Yeah, a good speech and a nice suit will get you only so far in this world.

George,

Nice Try. Yes, Jeb Bush did praise Obama on his education initiatives however, there was MUCH MUCH more that he said that was in total disagreement with the President's policies. Of course you DON'T REPORT ANYTHING THAT IS NEGATIVE ABOUT YOUR BELOVED SUPREME COMMANDER! JUST WAIT....WHEN HE AND OTHERS IN WASHINGTON HAVE TOTALLY DESTROYED THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IT WILL INCLUDE SWEET INNOCENT YOU ALSO!

So Obama gets an "A" plus for education from Jeb Bush. Even Republicans give credit where credit is due. But what about the other areas such as health and foreign policy, or the economy? Did Jeb give straight A's. I doubt it.

Maybe it's the Education Secretary should get the credit. Obama is a mediator.

I thought that the Bushes were stupid.

Jeanne Barnett is crazy - and it's only heightened by her use of capital letters. Perhaps a bonus incentive during Jeanny's years of education may have taught her some decorum.

To Nico: Is this yet another thing that Republicans just don't get along with satire? When mentioning a national party its done with the capitalized R or D. Same with a letter grade in quotes. I would guess that it was her years of education that actually taught her how to write and use a capitalized word when its actually called for by the supposed rules of the English language. If anything, the one thing that was a mistake that you failed to mention was her use of a non capitalized jeb

The United States was almost destroyed in the past 8 years. Let's not forget that nothing was done by the previous administration to ward off this economic crisis which started in 2007. Not one step was done to help stop the bleeding of jobs. What is happening now is the result of it. It has nothing to do with Obama. More jobs were lost during the Bush administration but now all one can see is the job losses which will continue until people start rehiring and new jobs become available. Had some steps been done...this would not be as bad. On education, this president knows what needs to be done and it is not just reading a book to students. It needs a whole restructure and he is attempting to do just that. As for Afghanistan, I, personally do not favor sending more troops as we get little or nothing out of it. We have not been given any signs of support by any of the groups over there and the election is not final so who are we working with? I think our president believes that if this type of action has not worked in 7 years, what makes people think it will change with 40,00 troops and we could be sucked in for another 4 or 5 years. Possibly a new strategy will work. We have killed about 15 of the big cheese insurgents and that is why they are coming after us. I think our president will send some troops but not 40,000 and also do some other type of strategy in conjuntion with it. I pray for him with this decision because whatever it is he will be criticized.

talmag:"I think our president will send some troops but not 40,000 and also do..."

He will send as many as the generals request. If not then he will stands to lose the war.

It would have been hard to imagine a worse president than Bush 43, but Obama has already surpased this Obama voter's expectations in that regard. The entire Bush family are social conservatives and as pc crazy as many of Obama's inner circle. The Bush family has done a huge amount of damage to the country running on entitlement mentalities, much like McCain and Obama.

We are supposed to vote for them just because, not for any great competence or relevant skill set for the crisis this country is now in as a result of politicians like themselves.

Add Newt, Bob Dole, Reid, Pelosi and Murtha. Zero leadership that is made for for with massive ego and vantiy.

Do you believe that maybe Jeb Bush or some army personal will really be the republicans nomination for president in 2012..

I just can not believe that one of those ..(fill in the blanks) they are now talking about will be one.

The Bush's, Dole, Newt and the rest of the ACORN loving Repulicrats have turned off fiscal conservatives and driven them out of the party. The sad part is the failure of the Republicrats to act like an opposition party (and running like rabbits everytime "racism" is used against them as a political strategy) and address the real issues citizens want given immediate priority:
Government spending & corruption, the economy, fall of the dollar, massive public debt and out of control illegal immigration / porous borders.

Health care reform?

Let's start with tort reform first.

Not much chance given they are the Dems number one donor...

The party that left the country in the worst shape since the great depression can only find one thing that it likes about the Obama administration? Obama inherited $12 trillion in debt, a Bush budget that we're still operating under now with over $1 trillion deficit, two wars and a financial system in meltdown and he's managed to keep the country from totally collapsing, yet republicans are still complaining. Their only hope is that Americans have extremely short memories so they can get back in office to funnel as much money and government contracts to their friends and corporate buddies. I don't think we'll survive if they succeed.

What will the next president inherit? After Obama has finished his term he will have sent the US broke.

John Ellis Bush AKA Jeb graduated from Princeton in 3 years with a Phi Beta Kappa key. His brother left Yale with a gentleman's C which is grade denoting that he did not foul up the campus too much.

Only who cares what Jeb Bush says....maybe he should have given advice to the worst Prez in history, before he robbed the country blind and distracted Americans with B.S. Wars.....Go home we Don't Need the Bushes around no more.

If jeb bush..well ANY bush agrees with Obama, that calls into question if Obama is doing the right thing.

Republicans always have to be negative. Some of the posts here show that. Jeb Bush complimented something President Obama is doing, which is appropriate.

So the right jumps in and immediately tries to apply the negative brush saying how many things they disagree on.

Why not work together on the things we can work on instead of always being nasty and negative. Thank you Mr. Bush.

Considering that Jeb decimated our school system here in Florida and Crist has left it that way, he has no room to talk. THE only thing that Jeb did was manage to hire a really competent guy to be our emergency manager who was able to guide the state thru a spate of hurricanes.

And my goodness I can't believe some of the vitriol here directed toward the man who was duly elected as our President.

Wow, when did Jeb Bush become a SOCIALIST?

And that from a liar and a cheat who burned Florida with his criminal antics and cronyism! I remember way back when when we had the vote in Florida--back before Jeb and Katerine Harris.

As many in Florida who had to go over Jeb's ficticious (and libelous) "felons list" with a fine tooth comb, we should know about Jeb.

Teri Schiavo, anybody?

Jeb Bush told my colleague, ABC’s Teddy Davis, that he likes what President Obama is doing on education...

CAN WE SAY Kevin Jennings. How does Jeb like what obama is doing with out education NOW.

i want to know the reaction of jeb Bush now that our President won the biggest human awards a person can get in this world.How about sending the President a congratulation ha jeb???
The President bam has always been on the right tracks not only on education for crying out loud.

Education will never meet the expectations of government, because parents consider the education of their children, the total responsibility of schools, and they do not recognize their role in partnering with schools, to be sure their children receive a good education.

Nor do parents accept responsibility for the behavior issues with their children.

As long as parents are failing to do their part of the job, education is unlikely to improve to any real degree.
