In an interview with FOX News Sunday former president George Bush senior described his youngest son, Jeb, the former governor of Florida, "as qualified and as able as anyone I know in the political scene" to be president.
"I'd like to see him run. I'd like to see him be president some day. As president, it's about service, service for the greatest country on the face of the Earth and the honor that goes with it. I think Jeb fits that description."
Bush senior added that "right now is probably a bad time, because we've got enough Bushes in there," but that Jeb should run for Senate from Florida.

As a person who's been living in Florida for over since 2005, that's an incredible hell no!
1"As president, it's about service, service for the greatest country on the face of the Earth and the honor that goes with it. I think Jeb fits that description."
2I second the hell no and would like to point out that these two sentences together don't make any sense.
No thank you.
3Haven't we had enough of the Bush's??
4Yes.
5To the above comment, not to the article.
6I say No, I have lived in florida all my life and work for the state under Crist now, but I was under Jeb also, Both stink/stunk, besides his crackhead daughter would try to sell all the white house furniture.
7I think he should if he can prove himself and get nominated. Blue, I love your avatar. Wow, some of these comments.
8probably not.

10lmao CG. I forgot about that. Didn't his wife get into some trouble too?
Plus I will never forgive Jeb Bush for pushing the atrocity that is known as the FCAT. Worst thing ever created and they wonder why Floridian students continue to score as low as they do.
11Blue, love the av!
And I say yes, yes, yes. Because he would be easy to beat, so I say go for it, Jeb!
12He can certainly run if he chooses to, but no promises whether he'll have a chance. The Republican Party seems in desperate need of some new blood.
13Ohh, we just need a team of Myavericks.
14Thanks TS
I know you share my feelings!
15
wooo thanks citizensugar for the laugh, best joke i heard all day
16HA !!
17GWB SR: Just in case y'all ain't had enough, I got ANOTHER one just like the OTHER one for Y'all!!!!
18jeb bush eats babes
19No more Bush folks for a while. Please.
20I've hand enough of Bushes and Clintons... and Kennedys...
21hand enough?! damn my typing!
22how come we've had no article about bill richardson stepping back??
that seems worthy to discuss.
23No 3-peats!!!
24I'm with haus... I've had enough of the Bushes and the Clintons. Too bad the Clintons are no where near done yet.
And haus, your avatar makes me hungry!
25No, no gracias.
bluesarahlou--adding my love to your avatar.
26ok, it wasnt crack she was doing it was Xanax, my bad
I like Bush, but would be okay with no more bushes in the white house. (insert naughty joke here)
27As Whitney would say, hell to the HELL to the no.
28Well I don't know this past election seemed like guilt by association was one of the seven deadly sins and individuality meant nothing. He might want to wait a while.
29Sorry, pass.
30no i don't think that he should run for pres. i was living in FL when he was gov. and i can't say that he did the most wonderful job possible. granted in a different arena he would have more folks to work with, but i don't know - i think that it would be a bad idea.
31I don't think he could win if he wanted to. The Bush name has been destroyed by the MSM and the "Blame Bush for everything" crowd.
32I think is unfair to say just because he is a Bush that we have had enough of them of to stereotype him according to the family he belongs to. I think anyone who has the qualifications could run for President, this is a FREE country and the land of opportunity.
33Hell no! Having to deal with him in Florida was enough. No more please
34Yes, poor George Bush is a victim of everyone else and is not at all responsible for anything.
35oh that's right, it's all the media's fault that the Bush name has been sullied.
36No, thank you.
37Maybe you're missing the rest of the comments UnDave, but Jeb's apparent past constituents don't seem to be praising his job in Florida...but again, that would be the fault of the "Blame Bush" brigade, right?
38NO.
39I don't know much about his record in Florida, but I will say that I am not a fan of dynasties in American government. Seems wrong somehow.
40Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Bush?
So wrong on so many levels.
41lol I see conservatives and liberals on here both say, absolutely not for Bush. Yay! At least we're united on this front
42H-ll No!
43Absolutely not; I'm so sick of these dynastic politics. We fought a revolution to get away from a monarchy.
44Well it's not that I don't think he'd do a hundred times better than his brother but still another bush is too much right now. But his fine ass son might want to run someday, lol!
45Yeah, where's the option for HELL no?
46I'm with bigestivediscuit....hells no. The Bushes have screwed up this country good & proper - it's time for an intervention. Or a restraining order - stay away from the White House!
