TALLINN, Estonia (AP) – Jeb Bush strolled the halls of the Polish parliament. He praised Germany’s economic boom since the fall of the Berlin Wall. And he visited Estonia, a once-bleak Soviet state that now has a growing, free-market economy.
If he was trying to stoke memories of his father and his legacy as president, Bush appears to have largely succeeded.
In a week of public events in three nations, the Republican candidate for president never mentioned his brother, former President George W. Bush.
Instead, he walked a path that recalls his father, George H.W. Bush, who served as vice president under Ronald Reagan and as president during the final days of communism in Europe.
Bush says his father’s time in the White House has been talked about at every stop.
