http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/jeb-bush-obama-cuba-us-embassyIn a statement on Wednesday, Bush, who recently took steps toward running for president in 2016, called the move a "foreign policy misstep" that "undermines America's credibility."
Do I have to point out the irony of the brother of the President who made the biggest foreign policy "misstep" in modern history, almost single-handedly destroying America's credibility, making this statement?
Jeb gets a double facepalm for this one.

Prearranged with Rubio, they had to.
Just Jeb and the media getting back on track.

Have fun losing, like your brother did twice.

(36,095 posts)generally pleased, though not against it, either? Bob Menendez doesn't care for this. LA's US Latinos do like it. But mostly there seems to be silence from Hispanic lawmakers. This makes me wonder.
Perhaps JBush heard this from his Mexican wife and her people? Just speculating here, of course.

(16,079 posts)This really isn't a Hispanic issue, it's a Cuban issue! And Senator Menendez doesn't care for this because of the fact that he's Cuban, and so far from what I've seen and heard it's more of a generational situation within the Cuban-American community.
The younger generation look at it as a positive move forward, while the older generation doesn't!

Jeb can suck a turd.

(246 posts)Jeb was one of the original signators to the PNAC document in 1998. That document called for the immediate invasion of Iraq and the removal of Saddam Hussein from power. "Nuff said". Jeb needs to STFU!
