The "Lehman" albatross

While Jeb will face certain attack from the right over Common Core and guest workers should he exercise his option on the GOP nomination in 2016, one huge line of attack against him, likely coming both from his GOP opponents (much like the "vulture capitalist" attack against Mitt Romney in 2012) and from the Democrats will be Jeb's longstanding involvement with crony capitalism, both with respect to education reform, and in one area the public knows very little about yet: his dubious involvement with doomed Lehman Brothers and the financial collapse of '08.  The Nation is firing off one of the first "Lehman" shots in a recent piece, Why Jeb Bush Isn’t Actually a Safe GOP Choice for 2016.
