Jeb Bush, aka Strike Three, learned the hard way that he needs armed goons to keep thinking people out of his hand-picked cameo events.  That was the standard for Republican candidates in 2011 and 2012.  But Strike Three forgot to check at the door, to make sure every attendee said \u201cBA-A-A-A-A-A\u201d, before being allowed in.  So just as Jeb was lying that ISIS is Obama\u2019s fault, a young American Hero popped up to school him.<\/font><\/p>\n

Jeb Bush isn’t even an official presidential candidate yet, but he’s already facing a serious challenge to his candidacy — and it just got worse because of a 19-year-old.<\/p>\n

"Your brother created ISIS<\/a>," college student Ivy Ziedrich told Bush during a town-hall-style meeting in Reno, Nevada, on Wednesday. "ISIS" is a common name for the militant group that calls itself the Islamic State, and the "brother" in question, of course, is former President George W. Bush.<\/p>\n

Moments earlier, the former Florida governor had been telling the audience that President Barack Obama was responsible for the rise of the militant group. But Ziedrich, a student at the University of Nevada, Reno, replied that Bush’s version of history glossed over a few key events.<\/p>\n

"You stated that ISIS was created because we don’t have enough presence and we’ve been pulling out of the Middle East," she said<\/a>. "However, the threat of ISIS was created by the Iraqi coalition authority, which ousted the entire government of Iraq. It was when 30,000 individuals who are part of the Iraqi military were forced out. They had no employment, they had no income, yet they were left with access to all the same arms and weapons."\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
