Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush wrote in a series of tweets Tuesday that both Democrats and Republicans have acted in a hyper-partisan manner. On Monday, Bush told reporters in New York that his father, President George Bush H.W. Bush, and President Ronald Reagan would have a difficult time in today’s far-right GOP because they both worked to reach across the aisle.
The point I was making yesterday is this: The political system today is hyperpartisan. Both sides are at fault.

My dad & Reagan sacrificed political points for good public policy.

Past 4 years, Democrats have held leadership roles w/opportunities to reach across political aisle. For sake of politics, they haven’t.

The Obama campaign press secretary Ben LaBolt chimed in too:
24 hrs later, looks like the Romney camp finally got their message into @JebBush . . .
