I live in Florida and support both Bushs.

Hmmm..so you are not in FL to see how JEB decimated the public school system, eliminated affirmative action in college admissions (which caused minority enrollment to drop), and uses our tax money to fund NINETY THREE trips for NON-business purposes? Okay then.

The Florida public school system was in desperate disrepair long before Jeb ever took office. Trust me I attended one until my Junior year, and my sister graduated from one. I would say that this is one of those things that the ball has been rolling on for a LONG time. Not something you can place blame on any one Governor.
I personally believe that ending affirmative action in college admissions was a good thing. As a woman I am categorized in the minority. I would much rather be accepted to college, be offered a job, whatever... based on MY merritt and qualifications NOT on the fact that someone had to fill their quota. As for the number of enrollments dropping people should have to work for what they get - simple enough. I think you forgot that when he did this he also guaranteed the top 10% of all graduating classes in the state admission to a Florida univeristy, all you have to do is study.
Does anyone really want to start talking about the amount of trips Bill Clinton AND his family took on the American Tax Payer's dollar?? I mean he was the most travelled President in the history of this country. Were all those trips really necessary????
