Now that Jeb Bush—known widely as Bush 45, or Bush cuarenta y cinco, or, simply, El Jefe Jeb—has completed his two terms in the White House, we can look back and summarize some of the major events of his administration.
As we know, America has seen great change during the third Bush presidency, starting with its population, which has grown by some 30 percent these past eight years. Indeed, today, well more than 400 million people live in America—most of them either citizens, or citizens-to-be. And while establishing Spanish as the Second Language of America has not been without controversy, such mandatory bilingualism is, as House Speaker Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) has said, a fitting tribute to the historic trailblazing role of First Lady Columba Garnica Gallo Bush.
And so it’s worth pausing over some of the highlights of the Bush 45 era.
We can start, first, with the Milagro de 2016—the Miracle of 2016. In particular, how did Jeb manage to overcome the accumulated “Bush fatigue” of the previous three-and-a-half decades? How did Jeb transcend the instinctive anti-dynastic impulses of the American people?
Part of his success was a deliberate indirection as to his intentions. For the better part of three years, from 2013 to 2015, Jeb seemed to go back and forth, zigging and zagging; that is, he would seem like a candidate one day, and then seem not like a candidate the next day. During that time, many other possible Republican candidates had their brief moment in the sun; yet none were able to gain momentum so long as Jeb was waiting in the wings...

proliferation of conservative candidates enabled Jeb to power through to the nomination.”
This is the problem I have been trying to point out for years; the RINOs run one candidate and we run many all of whom beat each other up and divide up the money. The RINO sails to the nomination; then looses.
This is why we want to encourage lots of RINOs to run, maybe even send them some money early on.
There's been a lot of that since 1992.
Stay out the Bushes !
May the person that concocted this ‘fluidic euphoric midnight invention of self-ecstasy’ (children, ask yo’ daddy), never see the day that he proscribed, in this anethemous vile.
Praising ‘common core’???? It’s Communist indoctrination to stupify the next generations.
Spanish as a ‘secone legitimate language’??? I’d make darn sure to live long enough to ‘water the daisies of that fool’s marker’!
Loses- unless his shoelaces were too tight.
That is exactly the process. It will not change so long as COnservatives continue to stay tied to the Republican Party wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Oligarchy.
Since he duped America into electing him in 2008-12, Obama's been prostrate, apologizing for America-----on his knees, all puckered up, sucking up to America-hating countries. Obama and the Chicago crime kingpins he installed in the WH have done everything possible to undermine US ntl security --- and they did it with our tax dollars.
Countless US assets---our embassies, ships and military bases are bombed----our military and diplo-personnel savaged, killed, maimed and tortured by fanatics in Mideast hellholes---and invariably the US gets the blame: "We weren't stern enough, we weren't strong enough"---and my personal favorite----"we didn't give them enough money," etc etc etc.
The facts are these: Obama entertained the Muslim Brotherhood in the WH---and he gave the Muslim Brotherhood $2 billion tax dollars to finance its anti-American activities. It's entirely conceivable that the Mideast killings of Americans is being financed w/our tax dollars---thanks to the idiot in the WH. He and the Chicago crime bosses in the WH should be charged w/ un-American activities.
US TAX DOLLARS FINANCE TERRORISM ---Obama's not merely "not fighting terrorists"---he's financing them and inviting them into our communities, forcing taxpayers to subsidize their evil deeds. Obama used the federal piggy bank to finance jihad.:
<><> $2 billion funding to the Muslim Brotherhood,
<><> $50 million to his Muslim brother's tax-exempt foundation.
<><> while Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge in Egypt, Obama and Hillary showered them w/ praise.....and billions of US dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes.
============================================
A (DHS) Intelligence Information Report (focusing on one small region of the vast US-Canadian border) reveals that as of September 9, 2014, there have been 155 encounters in the area “involving African nationals---344 Somalis, 21 Ethiopians, five Kenyans, two Djiboutians, and so on....
Days after the Canadian soldier was shot dead at the military shrine, a hatchet-wielding man, a member of the hallowed "religion of peace," savagely attacked and wounded NYC police officers. Later, kind and compassionate progressive City Officials said they "didn’t believe" the axe-killer had any connection to terrorism......
Of course not...only an intolerant racist would think this kindly man with an axe is (horrors) an actual "terrorist." In fact, the peace-loving axe-wielder meant no harm....he was here at the express invitation of the progressive Obama administration. Read on.
DHS SIGNS OFF ON Obama admin's law to let
into the US, immigrants with 'limited' terror contact
The Daily Caller | 2/5/14 / FR Posted by Nachum
The Obama administration has issued new exemptions to a law that bars certain asylum-seekers and refugees who provided “limited material support” to terrorists who are believed to pose no threat from the U.S.
The Department of Homeland Security and the State Department published the new exemptions Wednesday in the Federal Register to narrow a ban in the Immigration and Nationality Act excluding refugees and asylum seekers who had provided limited material support, no matter how minor, to terrorists.
“These exemptions cover five kinds of limited material support that have adversely and unfairly affected refugees and asylum seekers with no tangible connection to terrorism: material support that was insignificant in amount or provided incidentally in the course of everyday social, commercial, family or humanitarian interactions, or under significant pressure,” a DHS official explained to The Daily Caller.
Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and Secretary of State John Kerry signed the exemptions. DHS contends that the law change is “commonsense” and that immigration procedures will remain the same in other respects. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
Who could forget Obama's "Arab Spring" when all of the terrorists would suddenly become sap-happy humanitarians, weaving daisy chains while frolicking around the May pole?
==================================================
THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL: Americans demand to know what our candidates plan to do about Obama letting terrorists into the US.
The people who back those candidates coalesce behind one early on. Look at what happened to Rudy Giuliani when he ran. He was a plausible candidate but his campaign went nowhere.
On that side of the party, people vote for the front runner and the also-rans are squeezed out early in the process because winning or appearing to be a winner (or the candidate whose turn it is) is everything.
On the other side one candidate can always try to "out-conservative" the others, and somebody without much support can run a shoe-string campaign on passion alone even if winning the nomination isn't pretty much impossible.
Any candidate who becomes a conservative front runner is liable to be "out-conservatived" by somebody on his or her right, unless he or she has acquired the kind of immunity that Ronald Reagan had.
Jeb, his father’s preference, would have been the Republican nominee in 2000, but for the little smuggling problem his not so clever wife had going through customs.
We need a sub-primary to counter the GOPe preselection of candidates to send El Jefe Jebbie packing. Otherwise we get to vote for bad choice #1 or bad choice #2.
My husband and I were talking about this last night. It was rather grim.
And by the time his two terms were completed, Jeb’s Spanish-speaking half-Mexican son was groomed and primed to continue the Bush dynasty and run for his turn at the presidency. Grandma Barbara was pleased.
It all depends who the big dog/MSM wants to run.
Maybe if we had elections like “dances with the stars” has someone might care.
at the point of going real Galt, you all deal with it.
Not only a legitimate language, but MADATORY bilingualism!
No comprehende Espanol, Senor Bush!
The secret to our eventual success is in that one sentence you posted Jim.
We need to make sure as many Moderates are in the running for POTUS as possible.
