Would be much easier for her in 2016 if obama is re-elected. back to the bushes for a moment. jeb bush. let s see. if mitt romney doesn t win, jeb might go for it. jeb bush was out defending his brother on the campaign trail yesterday. here it is. president obama was dealt a tough hand. we were told that. we hear this every day almost if you watch tv. you know, and, of course, it s my brother s fault for everything that goes on. it s almost as though the dog ate my homework is the reason why we re going through tough times. what are your thoughts on that, michael? well, of course, that s what he s going to say, but the fact of the matter is that the financial crisis that we got into was george bush s fault. it was the republican party s fault. sure you can trace some things back to clinton, the deregulation of glass steagall in 1999/2000, but nobody was watching the henhouse when the banks were doing what they were doing under bush. so it is true. ....
You think of their history, which isn t all milk and honey, it makes it all the more interesting. you know, they had rough times in 2008 when obama was running against hillary clinton, and they both said some pretty tough things about each other, but they know that they need each other and obama obviously needs bill clinton as a validater, so the president who created the most jobs in recent american history, going out and saying in obama s behalf that he can manage the economy is very important to obama. and i think it s good for clinton, too. i think not only in legacy terms, but i think if hillary clinton still has an eye cast toward the white house, i think it s much better for her, it would be much easier for her in 2016 if obama is re-elected. back to the bushes for a moment. jeb bush. let s see. if mitt romney doesn t win, jeb might go for it. jeb bush was out defending his brother on the campaign trail yesterday. here it is. president obama was dealt a ....
Country. i don t know that it s an insult to who we are as a country. i think it s an insult to mitt romney that his staff members didn t put that into the speech. i think they screwed up, and they let him down again. this is a recurring theme. that is a recurring theme. i mean and the candidate bears responsibility as well. but somebody, i guarantee you, if any other republican were giving a speech and there was nothing in there about afghanistan, you would have had a staff member going, hey. hello? yeah. we re in a hot war, longest war in american history, $2 billion a week. americans getting shot every week. we d better mention this. and they didn t. and so the staff let him down. and he should have picked it himself. i saw this in newsweek which came early. the ghost of george w. bush. romney has tried to handle the bush legacy the same way mccain did, by ignoring it. when republicans convened in late august in tampa, as in minneapolis in 2008, bush was ....
Show. and that is the drag that the republican brand and the bush brand is on romney. and if romney does it, i think one of the impediments to him, if he doesn t figure out how to sort of prove that he s different, that he s got a different plan, that he s going to govern differently than the bush years, that his policies are going to be different on the economic front, particularly the last couple of years, he s got to figure out that distance. that is how bill clinton cleared the hurdle in 92. he had to prove he wasn t part of the mondale, carter, dukakis wing of the party. and he had to do it in certain ways. and he did it with the death penalty. he did it with sister soulja. romney has got to figure that out because i think the republican party is still the biggest drag on mitt romney more than anything else right now. chuck todd, david gregory, ezra klein, thank you so much. see you on the daily rundown after morning joe. miles, stay with us, if you could. coming up, new ....
