Jeb Bush told a luncheon audience in Baton Rouge on Wednesday that the traditional U.S. model of public education, unless changed, will put the nation further behind other countries, leaving more Americans unable to find good jobs.

Jeb Bush lumbers over to FOX to peddle his "6 Ideas to Save America." (by obliterating public education), April 9, 2009

Jeb, *the education Governor*. Yeah, he's a sure-fire expert., April 9, 2009

It's time to take out the trash., April 10, 2009
