Listen to Dick Morris. Really. ‘(Why) Bush Says Work More Hours’

Morris-Dick-fuhrer-IMF

Dick Morris’ past is checkered. Not having scoured his autobiographical works, I would hope he’s admitted that and, being a master at public relations, has not attempted to defend his former life as a chief political advisor to Bill Clinton.

So… everybody past that?

Good.

Currently, he’s not perfect, but I listen to him often for some of the most clear-eyed political analyses (and anti-globalist, anti-pseudo-elitist perspectives) of the more conventional pundits.

Bush-Jeb-Obama-Winning-Future-unknown-sourceI suggest hearing this, which (after the rather piercing fanfare — okay, he could use some equalizing on the audio) begins…

When, last week, Jeb Bush said the solution to income inequality, or one solution, was for Americans to work longer hours, he wasn’t just committing a flub. He was showing his fundamental lack of understanding of what’s going on in America with the American worker. It was a mistake born of his elitism and his wealth, just as much as Mitt Romney’s “47%” line was — and the results could be just as catastrophic, if he ever gets the Republican nomination to run for president.

Listen to the rest here, and catch Bush’s ominously telling lost opportunity to nail Obamacare for its destruction of full-time work.  (We are not granted an embed of his brief comments.)

Of course that doesn’t mean a Jeb Bush presidency would not be “just as catastrophic.”
