Jeb Bush cited his brother, former President George W. Bush, as one of his main advisers on the Middle East in a private meeting in Manhattan on Tuesday, according to three people who attended the off-the-record event. […]

One of the people in the room jotted down Jeb's comment as such: "What you need to know is that who I listen to when I need advice on the Middle East is George W. Bush."

One then must presume that he also listens to the advice of Dick Cheney …uh…"Darth" Cheney, I guess that should be….

Good news…..the Obama-Biden-Clinton recovery from the Bush-Cheney depression continues on with 223,000 new jobs and another down tick in unemployment to 5.4%. (Yes, I included HRC because the GOP intends to blame her for everything they can imagine that Obama has done wrong. She might also share in what he has done right.)
