JEB BUSH: Republicans In Congress Should Work To Pass Bills, Not Just Oppose Obama - Business Insider

JEB BUSH: Republicans In Congress Should Work To Pass Bills, Not Just Oppose Obama - Business Insider: "Republicans need to take advantage of their majority in the U.S. Congress to pass bills rather than simply opposing Democratic President Barack Obama's priorities, potential presidential candidate Jeb Bush said on Monday.

Republicans last month trounced Democrats to win control of the Senate and extend their majority in the House, as exit polls showed Americans were fed up with partisan gridlock in Washington.

"Republicans need to show they're not just against things, that they're for a bunch of things," said Bush, 61, a former two-term governor of Florida who is considering entering the Republican presidential nomination race for 2016.

"We have to show that we can, in an adult-like way, lead," he said at a Wall Street Journal conference, pointing to issues such as the Keystone XL oil pipeline and a possible lifting of the ban on crude oil exports."
