Mitt Romney may have encountered a tough crowd addressing a group of Latinos Thursday, but former Florida Governor Jeb Bush transitioned easily from Spanish to English and drew loud applause on the issue of education reform and school choice – and complimented the presumptive Republican nominee’s rival, President Obama.
At the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials or NALEO in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., Bush began by giving Romney a nod.
“We heard an excellent speech, I thought, from Mitt Romney, who is a supporter of education reform and of school choice,” Bush said.
However, in his next breath he aligned himself with Romney’s rival and repeated what has gained him headlines over the last few weeks, but he deeply believes in: Working across party lines works as well as having a more open debate.
“I am proud of the fact that as a former governor I was asked by [Education] Secretary [Arne] Duncan to introduce our current president of the United States in a high school in Miami because we share common ground,” Bush said to cheers from the crowd. “And I don’t know about you, but when we find common ground we shouldn’t fight anymore, we should move on and build on that success. Apparently one can get in trouble when they say these kinds of things, but I happen to believe it’s the American way."

It’s clear now: the Republican strategy is to offer a white Obama against the black Obama and let the racism started by Obama in 2008 undo him in 2012.
Bwahahahaha! Somebody forgot to give Jeb the talking points.
Afraid of the truth spoken, don't say you didn't know, you had NO idea he would be like this. His long standing record has been ignored by some and the fearful don't give a flip.
The skull and cross bones Bushes have been so good for America ......
- Late Sen. Prescott Bush - on the board and the 1st treasurer for Planned Parenthood (or whatever it was called then).
- G.H.W. Bush - was pro-choice before getting on board the Reagan ticket. Bush 1 was all about globalization. He was on the plan with Kissinger when he went to set up the meeting for Nixion and the Chinese. China was basically 3rd world until we made them our greatest military and economic threat of the future. Bush 1 was ambassador to China and former CIA director. He was in no way like Ronald Reagan. And reading his lips allowed for someone like Bill Clinton to become prez.
- W - the best of the bunch which isn’t saying much. My biggest problem with him is that he didn’t stand up to the media and the left during his later years. He let them steamroll right over him.
- I used to think Jeb might be the best of the elitist skull and crossbones bunch but not any more.
I am ready for them to fade away. These RINOs have done enough damage.
There isn’t a dime’s worth of difference between the establishment of the R & D parties.
Both want to screw over their rivals...both are thinking of 2016!!!
Yep, Jeb is a vile opportunist. I will NEVER vote for a Bush again for as long as I live. Bush41 and Bus43 have proven beyond any doubt that they believe government to be "good." That's why they promote statist policies such as ADA, No Child Left Behind, Medicare Part-d.
The Bush will always turn to activist government that result in less Liberty and more power to sadistic bureaucrats.
The are enough real conservatives that Americas can choose among. These elites feel they are entitled to the office. Somehow Americans need to have the instinct to never return politicians to office and especially never to give the indications they support "dynasties."
Unlike the Statist Bush family, I view government at best as a necessary EVIL and lately I have been viewing government as becoming an intolerable evil.
Conservatives need to have the convictions to never support Statists.
It was easiest for me to pick a candidate - there was ONLY ONE with the credentials to be our president - a Conservative Patriot with proven accomplishments FOR America, the ONE this POS liberal spent his campaign lying about with attack ads, NEWT.
So the immature, naive, easily deceived voter are on their own - they weren’t interested in AMERICA and THE BEST for her but voted for someone they ‘liked’. They ‘own’ putting this country in the hands of evil. They are unteachable, a con man’s dream.
The feted vote is certainlynot us. Can you tell? Romney intends to win without us. I intend to oblige him.
RINOS rule and the Establishment has the wind at their back. We do not, because we are compliant and cooperative. We have proven to be no threat yet, but down ticket, which is nothing more than incidental to the GOP.
These good old boys know how Romney governed Massachusetts, no differently than Obama, and what he has stood for, flipped on and they like a socialist.
Having measured him for the empty suit he is, he serves their purpose for co-opting socialism. He is perfect for instructing and directing, and moving us to the left, obviously.
Romney brings one down to what their lowest level is.
It’s Romney vs obama .......... an easy decision for me.
Please just leave, Jeb.
Well how about that...
More like his supporters hope that he will win - yet, no one can say what he intends to win with. The worse of the worse and the GOP support as a candidate and that doesn't even give his supporters a clue. They don't want to be waken up, they already proved they are unteachable. This was the easiest of elections to pick a candidate and the most important one with the worst president ever - and the idiots still couldn't get it right.
Uh...Jeb Bush said this, not Romney. Jeb should take a que from his brother, W, and just stay quiet.
IMHO, Jeb should take a que from his brother, W, and just stay quiet.
Wrong, the last one has NOT supported this POS. Papa and Jeb did. Papa, also, had his head up clinton's butt, even though he trashed his son.
Please just leave, Jeb.
He can't, he already sold his soul and America to the devil. There is no going back. Like I said, Mitt brings one down to his lowest level and will use anyone who is useable and/or hungry.
Romney has more in common with Obama than ANYONE!!! And that is COMMON KNOWLEDGE.
So to secure votes for Romney, Jeb is making like it’s no big deal, it’s a good thing. Jeb is not running for anything - HE IS DOING THIS FOR ROMNEY, PLEASE stop the BS.
Jeb’s correct, Romnutz does have “common ground” with Obama.
Both come from family backgrounds where Saul Alinsky was acceptable.
It should have been easier than Evil vs. Evil - who is the winner?
So you have no problem with one nation under evil. It doesn’t matter who wins to evil - it has both sides covered BY DESIGN - voters fell for mitt’s well-planned deceit with his campaign enablers.
I supported and voted for NEWT - THE BEST for America, the ONLY candidate who deserved the nomination. But EVIL did what evil does - LIE about the one who is BEST for America and voters believed the LIES from a KNOWN LIAR.
“Stay out da Bushes”....
J. Jackson
Have gotten a lot of mileage out of that over the years. Makes me
chuckle every time I think about it.
