Obama looking worried he may have to jump to avoid being buried in bridge rubble...

Maybe Jeb should change to Democrat and challenge Hillary in a primary
He’d fail bigtime.
Hillary’s only fear is attack from the left, as it was in 08.
Very easy to see the Chicago Mob do it again, perhaps with Lizzie Warren as the figurehead.
She sounds like fingernails on the chalkboard, and nothing can change that at this point. She's tired looking, with lots of baggage, and going to face a country that is sick of it's decision to elect Barky, and will be sicker about it in 2016. The country will see her as joined at the hip with him, no two ways about it and the dems know it.
She won't be able to distance herself from the Bark, as formidable as her machine is.
My two cents.
My parents told me about the corruption, vote buying and Estes stuff, and that LBJ disliked hispanics even more than blacks-for my family, a damn good reason not to like him.
But just what I saw for myself as an idealistic and patriotic teen labeled LBJ as someone with mob connections-he made no secret of how much he loathed both JFK and RFK, and it looks like he did have something to do with JFK’s death, with the mob connections.
And that is what a criminal does, Jeb-not a “leader”...
“He went and he cajoled, he begged, he threatened, he loved, he hugged, he did what leaders do, which is they personally get engaged to make something happen,’’ Bush said of Johnson. Bush cited Caro’s latest book about Johnson, The Passage of Power, which covers the first part of Johnson’s presidency.
We don't have the whole context -- or at least I haven't seen it. He's not saying he admired other things that Johnson did, and it's not even certain that Jeb was saying that he'd govern as LBJ did.
It's pretty clear to me that Jeb, tired by now, not at the top of his game, and without any congressional experience probably wouldn't be able to apply the LBJ treatment to Congress. I'm not sure that that's a bad thing. One Lyndon Johnson was enough.
Johnson also micromanaged.
Yeah, he did-self serving, paranoid-so was Nixon, and so is Obama. Neither of them appear to have/have had the sexual conceit and appetite that LBJ had-and not discreet like JFK, either-but the rest of it is very similar. Criminal with a capital “C”...
Is he threatening to kill President Obama? The Secret Service should lock him up.

Is this Jeb’s Trent Lott moment? Isn’t he praising the most viciously racist president in U.S. history? (Some may argue Woodrow Wilson, but it was a more paternalistic way)
Yup, He’s a Bush.
Grab ankle
Maneuver foot into mouth
SSmile.
Not surprising. If you read President George W. Bush’s audio biography Decision Points, you would know LBJ was a huge friend of his father and grandfather. He described how LBJ visited their mansion on Christmas Day.
“Progressives” have got to stick together.
One thing's for sure, LBJ had far more to gain from JFK's death than anyone else. He was facing a possible prison sentence for corruption (I forget the specifics) so when the presidency fell into his lap, besides the obvious perks of being the most powerful man in the world, his legal problems were forgotten.
Perhaps, but Obama is giving him a run for his money. As for Jeb, no more Bush's!
