Jeb Bush is beginning the process of disentangling himself from financial relationships that could cause him difficulties in a 2016 presidential bid.

According to the L.A. Times, on Christmas Eve, Bush exited Tenet Healthcare Corp., a company that has actively supported and benefited from Obamacare. Bush earned both cash and stock worth about $300,000 from Tenet last year and sold $1.1 million of Tenet stock in 2013, as well.

Bush’s aides say he has also put an end to highly compensated speeches as he tours the country meeting with possible donors to discuss his own vision of how he would like to campaign.

In terms of his “vision” of the ideal president, last year, Bush told hundreds of people in Florida that if he were to assume the office, he would strive to be like Lyndon Baines Johnson.

“He went and he cajoled, he begged, he threatened, he loved, he hugged, he did what leaders do, which is they personally get engaged to make something happen,” he said of the former Democrat president.

I'm retitling this piece. I'm calling it Jeb Bush: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Or (in words Jeb can understand): El bueno, el malo y el feo.
