Image #: 2625014    Former President George H.W. Bush, U.S. President George W. Bush, and Governor Jeb Bush, leave together after the christening ceremony of the USS George H.W. Bush at Northrop-Grumman's shipyard in Newport News, Virginia October 7, 2006

Lobby, Medicare, Florida, terms like bagman....wow this guy is just getting started and has more enemies than even I imagined. I read a piece today at Crooks and Liars and well well, Jeb is making news in all kinds of ways. Jeb Bush might want to reconsider that run because he is everything Bush and that is all bad. The Bush family has always had scandals and blood ties but this article surely topped my little diary last night of his stand on the Iraq war.

The race looks like it is just beginning to drag out laundry on Jeb. Please proceed Governor. Jeb is beginning to look like the really bad boy of the bunch. That is saying quite a bit considering most think of his brother as a war criminal and his grandfather a Hitler supporter.

WASHINGTON -- Jeb Bush personally lobbied the secretary of health and human services, while his father was vice president, on behalf of a Miami figure who would later flee the country accused of one of the greatest Medicare frauds in the program's history.
Bush pressed then-HHS Secretary Margaret Heckler to give the man's HMO a waiver so that it could accept larger sums of Medicare money than it otherwise would have been allowed, Heckler told The Huffington Post.

Miguel Recarey Jr., head of the health maintenance organization International Medical Centers (IMC) who often boasted of connections to the Miami Cuban mafia, paid Bush $75,000 in the mid-1980s. Bush has acknowledged receiving the payment but said it was tendered for real estate consultation. But the deal he consulted on was never closed.

Jeb has more skeletons falling out of his closet than a storage closet the day after Halloween.

2016 is going to get nasty for the Bushs. Couldn't happen to any better family.

STAY OUT THE BUSHES......

Fracking issues

The Bush family has been in the energy business for decades, at least since 1950 when 26-year-old future president George H.W. Bush helped found the Bush-Overbey Oil Development Co. with financial support from his dad, U.S. Sen. Prescott Bush of Connecticut. President George W. Bush also worked in the oil and gas business, though he made his fortune with an investment in the Texas Rangers baseball team.

Similarly, fracking is not just a Jeb Bush investment, but also a Jeb Bush family affair.

Son George P. Bush, 38, was elected Texas Land Commissioner last year, two years after helping found Fort Worth-based FracStar Logistics, providing sand for fracking. One of FracStar's managing partners is Coral Gables-based De Soto Partners, which is co-owned by Gov. Bush and 31-year-old Jeb Bush Jr. FracStar has been renamed Proforce Energy Services.

Jeb Bush's private equity group, Britton Hill Holdings, was established in May 2013, but his entry into the fracking boom and private equity business wasn't publicly revealed until June 2014, when it triggered a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing for managing more than $100 million.
