Jeb Bush: GOP and Romney Too Extreme

Strange that Jeb Bush blames Obama. It's the extremism of the GOP that caused republicans to work to oust Obama instead of doing what they were elected to do. It's the fanatics, the tea partiers and the birthers (racists) who've taken over the GOP. I don't care what anyone says, democrats are not anywhere near as extreme as the GOP.
