Interesting how this comes out the day after Romney sticks his toe in the water.

Jeb obviously got his “mind right” after that.

[BenLurkin]

That’s nothing. Obamas hasn’t done anything for them either.

[Defiant]

but but but......America was conservative then, I had to say it. Now we’re all socialists, so I can stop pandering.

There went the 14 black votes that he otherwise might have gotten.

[Vince Ferrer]

Politically radioactive, but actually the correct answer. After all the “help” they’ve gotten the past 40 years, the last thing they need is more.

Right sentiment, but the completely wrong meme and imagery.

He SHOULD have said something like, “Helping ALL Americans halps black Americans, too. To quote Reagan, ‘The best welfare program is a JOB”.”

[firebrand]

What a brilliant statement.

[Sacajaweau]

Obviously he’s saying he’s going to treat everyone...black and white equally.

for them or about them?

“It’s time to strive for a society where there’s equality of opportunity, not equality of results. So I’m going to answer your question by saying: probably nothing,” he replied.

I don't disagree with this in the least. Too bad I don't trust him to be consistent to this ideal.

[vpintheak]

Makes sense to me. No one treated different or special.

[I want the USA back]

Those words will be repeated endlessly during the campaign, by the democrats.

“It’s time to strive for a society where there’s equality of opportunity, not equality of results. So I’m going to answer your question by saying: probably nothing,”

There were lots of better ways to say this. 'I'm going to do what is best for all Americans, which obviously includes black people.' Instead he offers the language of a condescending, spoiled, and pompous twerp.

[Impy]

Impolitic but admirable answer. Where did that Jeb go?

[HiTech RedNeck]

He banged his head too much and is now soft in it??? :-)
