Jeb Bush called for closer trade and security ties with Europe on Tuesday in a speech in Berlin, the first stop on a five-day tour designed to prove his foreign policy credentials before announcing his run for the presidency.

Bush's European trip, which will also take in Poland and Estonia, comes just before he launches his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination in Miami next Monday.

Addressing some 2,000 politicians and business people at an economic conference organized by Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative CDU party, Bush received a warm welcome, but it was a far cry from an address the then Senator Barack Obama gave in Tiergarten park in 2008 with more than 200,000 people cheering.

I went to Holland for two weeks once...so that qualifies me to be Ambassador, right?

1. I did training in Switzerland for a week

Plus traveled through France, I guess I could do the job too.

2. I lived in Germany for 3 years and...

vacationed in Spain and Scotland since then.

Oh, and smoked a lot of hash in A-dam.

So, qualified for Veep, at least.

3. I've visited almost 20 countries.

I wanna be Secretary of State, dammit!

4. At least he didn't forget Poland. nt

5. Send him to Eurodisney and tell him he's seen the entire continent.

He's too damned dumb to know the difference.

6. Maybe he'll have more luck with that than the last guy.

Mitt Romney managed to piss off a whole continent in just a few short days.

figured out how to fill out a customs declaration form or two.
