I’m beginning to think this campaign is Jeb Bush’s passive-aggressive way of saying he really doesn’t want to run for president.
When asked about the best part of the Obama administration in a radio interview on the Michael Medved Show, undeclared presidential hopeful Jeb Bush immediately pointed to his support for a program championed by Barack Obama.
The former Florida governor said the NSA’s bulk collection of Americans’ phone data was “an important service” carried out in a way that protects individual civil liberties.
He lauded the Obama administration for refusing to buckle under pressure from Democrats, civil liberties groups and some Republicans.
Listen to the audio:
Some took to the twitter social media platform to express their feelings about Bush’s declaration:

Jeb Bush Is Not His Brother, But He Loves His NSA Spying Program http://t.co/vbSUT6r4xD — Politics News (@RedditPol) April 22, 2015
@theblaze @jg_simpson @JebBush Who would have guessed ol’ Jeb supports NSA spying on everyday Americans? Sick of faux Conservatives…

If there is one thing Jeb is proving, it’s what many of us have known for years: there isn’t an iota of difference between a republican in name only and a democrat. This was a horrendous statement.
Do you think even some moderates will be looking for another candidate with this revelation? Share this story on twitter and facebook and let us know what you think below.
