Jeb Bush said in a radio interview on Thursday that it wasn't appropriate for Sarah Palin to blame President Obama for her son's actions.
Palin's son, Track, was arrested on domestic violence charges earlier this week stemming from altercation in which he allegedly hit his girlfriend while drunk. The former Alaska governor in a speech on Wednesday said President Obama didn't do enough for veterans, citing her son.
"I don't know the details of it, but I do know that we have a problem of post-traumatic stress," the presidential candidate and former Florida governor said on Kilmeade and Friends. "It's a serious problem and that the Veterans Administration needs to do a better job of creating centers of excellence to deal with veterans."
"Our communities need to rise up to help veterans," he continued. "We have homeless veterans, we have people that are suicidal and who have committed suicide. It's a national tragedy, all of us I think have a responsibility to roll up our sleeves -- I don't think blaming the president is appropriate."

If a wealthy family two smart parents and national connections is expecting the FedGov to help their troubled adult son, they need to change their approach to the problem.
The media/s are the powers behind the National narrative. God help America,
Help us LORD we are deceived daily by the press reports slanting all coverage from a liberal angle. MO!
Conservatives unite!
Jeb is one sick puppy, judging by his treatment of Teri Schiavo, and now a comment like this. As a father, doesn't he feel any love for children and any respect for how a normal parent will react to the hurt of their children?
Mygosh, if somehow the puppetmasters steal the nomination for Jeb, it's beginning to seem that a vote for him would be the greater of two evils.
What an idiot. She probably wouldn’t have called the cops if he had just smacked her on the ass...”Thank you sir, may I have another?!”
This is what taking in $100 million dollars on the promise of victory will do to a man who has no chance to win.
“Mrs. Palin was correct to remind people that this President, and his toadies, have not done anything positive for veterans - witnessed by the on-going V.A. fiascos. She was wrong to use it as an excuse for her son - IF she did so - but Yeb was out of line spouting his opinions on this matter”

Life ... we all learn as we go through time. Some FASTER THAN OTHERS. Let us look to God and HIs Word for direction. Be forgiving, do unto others as we would have them do unto you. Ect. Come to the aid of the downcast and needy ... and pray for Peace in our Nation ... America.
Thank Thee LORD for Thy loving kindness, tender mercies, and the power of Thy Word, forgive us our sins, in Jesus name. Amen
You can do so, there are farts I can blame on Yeb and some I blame on Zero, I’m sure each has a distinct odor but I can’t tell the difference myself.
When did Sarah Palin blame Obama for her son’s actions? If I recall correctly, she simply stated that when he returned from serving in Iraq he was different, like a lot of other soldiers. She never invoked Obama’s name or blamed him, nor did she ever say he son suffers from PTSD. She simply said he came back a different person.
As far as Jethro and the media are concerned, this is just another false narrative that most are either too dumb or too full of kool-aid to realize.
Did he have his lucky pocket turtle, and the note from his mommy when he was asked his opinion?
He’s not wrong. That has to be the dumbest excuse I’ve ever heard. The Palins are loaded and can easily get their son help. It’s not like the guy is a homeless vet or something.
Marco wins hands down with his new ad featuring, Jeb Bush!
Too Funny.
New Rubio Ad Trolls Jeb Bush With His Own Words: 'I'm a Huge Marco Fan'
Or a non-wealthy family without national connections, for that matter.
What can Sarah Palin be thinking!
Jeb is such a douche
I was trying to think of something pithy to say regarding Jeb, but that actually nails it nicely!
This is what Palin said:
“I guess it’s kind of the elephant in the room because my own family going through what we’re going through today with my son, a combat vet ... like so many others, they come back a bit different. They come back hardened,” Palin said at the rally. “They come back wondering if there is that respect for what their fellow soldiers and airmen and every other member of the military so sacrificially have given to the country.”
She then said that she related to other families who “feel these ramifications of PTSD” and said it was crucial that veterans “have a commander-in-chief who will respect them.”
“They have to question if they’re respected anymore,” she said. “It starts from the top. The question, though, that comes from our own president where they have to look at him and wonder, ‘Do you know what we go through? Do you know what we’re trying to do to secure America?’”
I am not a big Palin fan but having talked to hundreds of vets in the last ten years I cannot disagree with what she said. There has been a change in returning vets and I blame Obama for the negative tone of the country and the VA.
I don’t care if Obama personally singled out her son as a bad soldier and a disgrace to America...it is no excuse for committing a crime.
There are now two real effective ads out there This one by Rubio. And Sanders “Look for America” ad.
Losing to young hip brilliant Messiah Baraq certainly p*ssed Hillary off.
But losing to old duffer crazy Burney will drive her absolutely nuts.
Jeb’s right...on this issue.
Actually, I think the most conservative position is to leave Track out of your political diatribes...
Refresh my memory...who brought Track's behavior into the debate?
