Jeb Bush seems to be somewhat resentful of the way President Obama blamed his brother a lot, and on the campaign trail this week he swore he wouldn’t make the same mistake.

In other words, Bush criticized Obama by saying he’s not going to be constantly criticizing him....

According to The Hill, Bush spoke at the Nashua Country Club in New Hampshire yesterday and said, “My pledge to you: when I’m president, I will not blame Barack Obama for a single thing.”

Yes, Bush made it clear he’s not a fan of the way––years into his presidency––Obama kept pointing to the mess George W. Bush left behind that he had to take care of.

Well, except this, maybe.

8. He's dreaming out loud.

First, there's that pesky obstacle of winning the primary.
And then there's that technicality of winning the GE.

I'll tell ya, it's always sumpthin.

9. Yup. Jeb will not 'blame' Obama for the good economy and employment numbers

he has acieved despite GOP sabotage for 8 years. I don't doubt it at all.

10. This is supposed to garner support from his base?

They all know it is all Obama's fault, all the time.

I think this will cost him delegates.

11. He is, of course, lying...

1) "When".

2) Even spotting him #1, yes he would. Blaming the previous Democrat for your screw-ups is standard Bush operating procedure.

Jebsclamationpoint is just playing to the conservative trope that Obama blames Bush for everything, which is their Soviet-grade airbrushing the fact that they invented an entire sport of blaming things on the Clintons, and of the sheer scale of Bush's screw-ups -- they really were that bad.

12. Why would he point his finger at success?
