Mr. Bush says he has no interest in running, because he wants to make money for his family, but his political allies seem to read a “for now” into such statements.

No way, no how.

[Luke21]

No more of them, please...

[nickcarraway]

Maybe Jeb should try to explain the benefits of conservatism to his family.

[SoConPubbie]

No more OPEN-BORDER GLOBALIST candidate!

Never again!

[STARWISE]

~~Ping!

Disregard the incoming BDS flak .. ;)

Way to go, Jeb! Tell it like it is:

“It’s kind of like a kid coming to school saying, ‘The dog ate my homework.’ It’s childish. This is what children do until they mature. They don’t accept responsibility.”

[CondoleezzaProtege]

no I do not believe all the ills of humanity are Bush’s fault...but I’m not so sure he was exactly what we can call a great President.

I will let history be the judge...

[pnh102]

I like what Jeb has to say but PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT RUN!

[Rosemont]

If GWB stuck up for himself instead of letting the liberals define him, we would not be stuck in the nightmare we are living through now.

What’s with you guys that keep posting the Bush articles?

[La Lydia]

I understand where you are coming from when you say that, but if my choice were to vote for BO or Jeb, I’d go for Jeb in a heartbeat.

“It’s kind of like a kid coming to school saying, ‘The dog ate my homework,’ ” Mr. [Jeb] Bush, this state’s former governor, said over lunch last week at the Biltmore Hotel. “It’s childish. This is what children do until they mature. They don’t accept responsibility.”

"Responsibility"? Jeb, you take my breath away.

If Jeb Bush can get in there and take on Obama, and send him back to Chicago in 2012, I say go for it. Jeb Bush would be a hero if he did that.

[April Lexington]

Thanks for reminding me. I was thinking positive thoughts about Jeb for Prez until I saw those pictures. Not going to happen on our watch...

[samadams2000]

Please your family has done enough to...err. for us. Please dont try to help the people any more. Go get a real job. Thanks in advance.

“he’s getting caught up in what people are writing about him.”

Jeb is right. Barry’s now basing his national security policies on catty gossip he reads in “Rolling Stone” magazine. Yesterday we were also treated to the fact that Barry and David Axelrod spent an inordinate amount of time negotiating with David Remnick at the “New Yorker” so that Barry could get an autographed cartoon of himself that he’d seen in the magazine. At least Katie Couric is safe in the knowledge that Barry’s reading all of the right magazines.Has to do something to keep himself occupied between rounds of golf.

[Humal]

What is “BDS flack”?

[element92]

no more Bush
no more Cheney

[Rennes Templar]

“If GWB stuck up for himself instead of letting the liberals define him, we would not be stuck in the nightmare we are living through now.”

Amen.
