Jeb! and experienced leadership

Jeb! Bush touting his "experienced leadership" this week in Iowa:

[Bush] said Americans have previously “bet on someone who was unproven,” two-term Democratic President Barack Obama, which Bush said “didn’t work out.”

Kind of wondering exactly what the definition of "didn't work out" is to Jeb!--does he mean the stimulus package that rescued the economy from his brother's ineptitude and helped ensure we didn't fall into a second Great Depression?  Or the bailing out of the now healthy auto industry which saved millions of jobs?  Or the job growth that's second only to the Clinton administration in the last fifty years?   The near doubling of the stock market?  How about millions more Americans who have healthcare insurance?  Or maybe that he didn't get us into two wars and ultimately botch both of them?  Or that we haven't had a terrorist attack on our soil for the length of his term?  The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act?  Normalization of relations with Cuba?  Gay marriage?

Too bad Jeb!'s older brother "didn't work out"--we'd all be a hell of a lot better off if he had.

Peace,
