Jeb Bush: 'I don't know' if Obama is a socialist
Posted: 11:26 AM ET
From CNN Political Producer Rebecca Sinderbrand
(CNN) – Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush told an interviewer that he could not say whether or not President Barack Obama is a socialist, and that the president would not have been elected if he had been honest with Americans about his agenda.
Bush would not answer the question of whether he agreed with the assessment of some congressional Republicans that the president is a socialist. "I don't know. Define socialism for me," he told Esquire magazine. "It's a word… I believe he's a collectivist. He believes that through collective action, through government, you can solve more problems." He added that he believed the word "socialism" was a pejorative, and "didn't help" the GOP make its case.
The brother of former President George W. Bush and son of former President George H.W. Bush dismissed the idea that his party's policies were unpopular with most Americans. "I don't think there's any seismic shift. The Democrats have won on tactics," he said. "Barack Obama would not have gotten elected if he'd let us in on his secret plan prior to the election," he said, pointing to the president's economic agenda and energy proposals.
"….He made it appear like McCain was going to raise taxes, which was unfair, but there was no response back. When there was an ideological component, it was generally centrist or even center-right. Had he said what he was going to do as a candidate, (Obama) would have lost."
He downplayed the president's approval ratings, which remain above average. "First of all, who cares?" he said.

F-LISTED: NEW MEGAN FOX JOINT
So you went out and saw Transformers 2: Fievel Goes West this weekend and now you have post-Transformers depression. You feel sad, yet you feel guilty for feeling sad, and this only makes you sadder because you know that it could be full months before you can view Megan Fox in a movie again and you sort of just wish they invented something like the Nintendo Virtual Boy that you could put in front of your eyes except it would just show the image of Megan Fox. (That may actually be what the future of the internet looks like. Just a picture of Megan Fox – or the future equivalent – you can wear on your face.)
Fret not, though. Jennifer’s Body will be in theaters before you know it; why, they’re already releasing trailers of it on the internet! It’s like a sexy campy cheerleader horror movie, but with a twist…
The twist is that it has a lot of Megan Fox in it. The idea is basically that Megan Fox is a mean demon who sort of does that horror-film leer at people where she makes her eyes really sinister and demonic looking. Then she murders them, but in a sexually exciting way. Actual line of dialogue: “I thought you only murder boys!” ”I go both ways.”
