Jeb Bush wants Barack Obama to quit picking on his brother

By Richard K. Barry

Stop picking on my brother or I'll tell our ma.
And you really don't want that.

Jeb Bush said on Sunday that President Obama should stop blaming the poor economy on his brother, George W. As reported by CNN:

While conceding that Obama did inherit a tough economy when he took office in 2008, Bush said that Obama’s policies have hindered the country's economic growth.

"I think it is time for him to move on," said Bush said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"His policies have failed," said Bush. "And rather than blame others -- which I know we were taught that that was kind of unbecoming, over time you just can't keep doing that -- maybe offer some fresh new solutions to the problems that we face. But that's not going to happen between now and Election Day."

I have a few questions for Jeb:

Could you tell us all how Mitt Romney's policies differ from the policies that got us into so much trouble in the first place, i.e., your brother's policies?

If they are different, and I don't believe they are, could you tell us how your brother could have screwed up so badly?

And if they're not different and Mitt Romney is likely going to pick up where "W." left off, can you tell us why "W." isn't campaigning with Romney and doesn't have a featured spot at the convention?

Just wondering.
