Jeb Bush: Obama Trying To "Attack Capitalism"

Gop Rebranding

It seems that Jeb Bush has changed his tune on Obama.

At the beginning of October, the former governor said that Obama was "on the right track"; last week, Bush stressed that the GOP must be more than the "old white guy party," and the "party of no."

But on Wednesday, Jeb Bush latched on to a theme much favored by leaders of the "Old White Guy Party": Obama as enemy of capitalism.

"I think President Obama has used the bully pulpit as a way to attack capitalism," Bush announced to a U.S. Chamber of Commerce legal summit in Washington. "That'll make the news," he said after a pause, and concluded the summit.
