Jeb Bush: I learned about ‘protecting the homeland’ from the way George W. Bush ‘kept us safe’

Likely Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush said over the weekend that he had learned how to protect the United States by observing his brother’s presidency, and how George W. Bush handled the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that occurred on his watch.

During an interview that aired on Sunday, CBS News host Bob Schieffer asked Bush if he felt like overcoming George W. Bush’s legacy was his “main challenge” in running for president.

“No, I don’t,” the potential candidate insisted.

Our country became LESS safe under W's watch, and it was clearly, directly, his administration's fault.

He calmly sat there reading his children's goat book because he was too afraid to move as 9-11 was happening.

Jeb is irresponsible about safety.

Reading that short story, in that jeb explains about doing a Heisman on his brother makes me think about those Looney Toon characters.

One such character as Goofy in a cartoon playing football, but Jeb as Goofy making the stiff harm to his brother. I just bust out in laughter to myself and continued chuckles as I write this. Can’t profiteer and build the family fortune doing a Heisman.

Of course his father or mother need Jeb to avoid serious questions about the deliberate neglectful actions intentionally avoiding intelligence that resulted in mental and physical trauma that caused chaos, death, destruction, and poisoned people in the New York area.

Besides, needing a reason to build the family fortune, to active the military industrial complex, along with the media.

CBS News host Bob Schieffer knows these measures will build his pension plan better, and Hollywood will help with glitz and glamor depress the new common knowledge eight thousand military persons commit suicide every year, all the while jamming the economy, and Health Care.

Ground Zero is a monument George W. Bush left for Americans, a new first history for our country.

George Bush and family built a fortune via war with lies and rules for torture, fear, and a new political era called terrorism, and Identity theft.

Grandpa Prescott Bush would be proud of George, and Herbert Walker keeping the legacy going from helping to build Harriman and the Union Pacific with Nazi’s, to personal friends and business partners with the very terrorist we fight, being business friends with the Bin Ladens.

Bob Schieffer, in on the scam avoids asking the most important question. Isn’t all the profiteering and money connections going back to Prescott Bush history to present Bin Laden business partners in the war with Iraq could be called treason?

The Bush Family is the threat to the American dream. The Bush Family is the Icon of deliberate arrogant profiteering at the expense of the American public. The media is complicit with this corrupt giving this family and associates decades to swindle that finally results in the greatest safety breach in a new modern political creation called America.

George Bush and family with political associates arrogantly, viciously, with retaliation and retribution with relentless skullduggery jam Health Care at every step to introduce the Affordable Care Act as Obama care is racism, which is a fundamental physical and mental health problem.

From my view, Jeb Bush along with his family created the most irresponsible and careless safety breach in modern times. The Iraq war was a Katrina special when it relates to profiteering, grief, trauma, and safety problems.

"The homeland' prior to Bush creating the department of "Homeland" Security.

What was wrong with "Domestic" or "National" security?
