Jeb Bush Joins in Twitter Slam of Obama's Cuban Speech

Former Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush Thursday joined many in the Twittersphere who bashed President Barack Obama's praise of the Cuban government during his speech Tuesday in Havana.

Bush, who governed Florida for eight years and quit the 2016 race last month, said:

Except for those Cuban boys and girls who desire freedom and democracy. They are out of luck. https://t.co/IscLZvJW18

He was responding to tweets from top White House adviser Valerie Jarrett that quoted parts of Obama's speech to that was broadcast throughout Cuba at the Great Theatre of Havana on Tuesday:

"Cuba has an extraordinary resource – a system of education which values every boy and every girl" - @POTUS #CubaVisit

"But my time here in Cuba renews my hope, and my confidence in what the Cuban people will do." - @POTUS #CubaVisit

— Valerie Jarrett (@vj44) March 22, 2016

Bush wasn’t the only one attacking Jarrett's tweets, however:

@vj44 @POTUS The only care the Cuban system has is to produce loyal little communists. It's organized child abuse on a national scale.
