GREENVILLE, S.C.—Declaring that "the center needs to be rebuilt," likely Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush stepped up his criticism of President Barack Obama on Tuesday, saying that the Democrat has failed to live up to his promise of being a uniter.
"It's the president's responsibility to reweave the web of civility," Bush told reporters Tuesday while visiting South Carolina, a key early state in the presidential nominating process. "And this guy does not believe it's his priority or his mission to do that."
