Jeb blames Obama for Trump.

[Póg mo 1,749]

In true Republican party fashion, Jeb blames Obama. Party of personal responsibility, my ###.

Bush called Donald Trump "a creature of Barack Obama" in the latest example of the former governor's ever-present frustration with the billionaire businessman during an interview with NPR.

"But for Barack Obama, Donald Trump's effect would not be nearly as strong as it is," Bush said.

The comments come as Bush continues his full assault on Trump over the past several weeks questioning everything from his rival's seriousness to intellectual prowess. However, Bush expressed optimism to NPR that "the emotion of the here and now" with Trump "will subside."

"The point is that we're living in this reality TV political environment, where [Trump] fills the space by saying outrageous things [and] then people based on their emotions will express support for the sentiment, not necessarily the specifics, because there's none and then he'll backtrack," he said. "And he'll move on to the next thing and he fills the space."

For his own candidacy, Bush downplayed the expectations that he must win some of the early contests for his candidacy to remain viable.

"I don't think I have to win any of them, because we're organized in every state," he said. "The good news is, expectations are low for me, and I'm definitely gonna beat those," he said. "I feel really good about New Hampshire, to be honest with you. Just just the way it it feels.

On Wednesday Bush's campaign announced yet another reorganization that will shift staff from its Miami headquarters to early states. The campaign also canceled previously scheduled ad buys in a signal that the campaign could be strapped for cash.

"We have a Super PAC that is advertising on TV at a rate that is comparable to any other campaign if not more and we're reallocating our resources to voter contact and a ground game that will be second to none," Bush explained to reporters. "So we're all in, the schedule will show that we're all in, the amount of people that are working and all the work that is done to be able now to convert these people into voters in a contested race." http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/jeb-bush-blames-obama-rise-trump-n488426

And every attempt to go through Congress has been met with a brick wall, even if the basis of the attempt was to put forward a largely Republican idea.

What is wrong about this interview ? He has not changed his position in 5-6 years.

Same position as Democrat Senator Schumer .

Schumer Details New Plan To Get Tough On China To Help Struggling Businesses In The Southern Tier MT Picture Display has already had to lay off hundreds because of competition from cheap Chinese imports; Chemung County has lost over 800 manufacturing jobs over the last two yearsSchumer's tough approach tells Chinese government to stop manipulating its currency or risk being slapped with large tariffs on its exports

Standing with workers at the troubled MT Picture Display factory in Horseheads, US Senator Charles E. Schumer today said that the U.S. must hold onto manufacturing profits and jobs by imposing an acrosstheboard tariff on Chinese imports. Schumer detailed his new bipartisan effort to get the Chinese government to stop manipulating the value of its currency, a practice that gives the Chinese an unfair edge in making and exporting products.

"It's time to put some muscle into our trade relationship with China," Schumer said. "For too long, the Chinese government has been playing games with the value of its currency in order to get a competitive edge. As a result, US manufacturing jobs and profits are disappearing at an alarming rate. We can't afford to let any more time go by without taking concrete and strong action."

MT Picture Display, based in Horseheads, employed roughly 1,100 people manufacturing cathode ray tubes for color picture televisions. But in early November, the company announced it would downsize in an effort to restructure in the face of increased imports from China, laying off hundreds.

That darn pesky constitutional process just gets in the way doesn't it.

How should Obama have handled things differently. Republicans have made it their mission to work against a President who is pretty much right of center politically, on the grounds that he is "far left". The irony of course, is that the Republicans have helped push the US to the left. Good job?

Bush is polling at 4 percent. If he's going to start playing the blame game, he should first invest in a good mirror.

Seems like so long ago but less that a year back the talk was Bush was the one with all the money and backing and was actually sounding reasonable at the first debate.
