Jeb Bush apologizes to French for 3-day workweek jab

This week, Bush has taken a new campaign slogan – “Jeb Can Fix It” – on the road, to emphasize his accomplishments as Florida governor and contrast his years in the governor’s mansion against the resumes of a few of his rivals who have less public service experience. For example, Jeb was only out of government office for four months when he got a nice sinecure as a board member of the insurance giant, Tenet Healthcare (which just happened to run several of Florida’s private hospitals under Florida’s Medicare program).

Bush spoke toward the end of a three-day trip through New Hampshire, the state where his campaign has made a decision to focus its efforts as part of a reset that’s included staff cuts and reduced spending.

After stopping in South Carolina, Bush is going to New Hampshire for a slew of events throughout the rest of the week.

“Marco’s a gifted politician”. “I now know that the average French work week is actually greater than the German work week”. It’s just the nature of the process. Jeb Bush said on Tuesday.

“Show heart. Campaign in a way that I can show that I’m a leader, not a talker”.

The moderator in both those debates was the late Tim Russert.

Bush, sporting his personalized cowboy boots and joking that an aide offering him M&Ms must think he needs more energy, chatted for more than 40 minutes with a handful of reporters Tuesday night aboard his campaign bus. He explained, “It’s not a debate. And I apologize. That did an enormous disservice to France”. “So I’m going to take advantage of that”, he said.

And Bush said there is plenty of time left for him to make a move.

Does Bush come across differently on TV than in person? “No question”, Moquin replied. He woke to the news that a Quinnipiac University poll gave him only 4 percent support among Republican voters nationwide. It’s a chance to be able to say what you think. “He’s much better at addressing issues”.

In interviews with his biographer, Mr. Bush said that Mr. Cheney had built “his own empire” and asserted too much “hard-line” influence within George W. Bush’s White House in pushing for the use of force around the world. And later, when asked if he’d do a Bush impersonation when he hosts “Saturday Night Live”, Trump zinged: “I don’t like showing someone asleep at a podium”.

The Florida Republican delivered his strongest retort to Trump to date Thursday morning in New Hampshire as he filed for the primary, calling it “ironic” that Trump is attacking his financial history. She described herself as “not all that impressed” with Bush in the past, but she also said she was glad to hear what he said “especially about the prescription monitoring program”. Trump suggested other candidates should follow his lead.

“Every expense on that card is detailed in the Republican Party accounts that they file every month”, Rubio said. “And I believe that this country is going to get better”.
