Former first lady Barbara Bush said her son George W. Bush should be the last in the family line of presidents, rejecting the idea of a White House run for her other son, Jeb Bush.

“There are other people out there that are very qualified and we’ve had enough Bushes,” she told TODAY’s Matt Lauer on Thursday from inside her son's presidential library.

When asked whether she expects Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, to make a presidential run, Mrs. Bush said there are many worthy candidates.

Agreed!

[rightwingintelligentsia]

She’s the smartest Bush in the bunch.

[skeeter]

I emphatically agree.

[Stosh]

Enough Bushes and too many Clintons.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Unlike the Kennedy clan, she is wise enough to realize that nutjobs have this thing about Trilogies.

Thank-you Barbra and God Bless.

Who in their right mind would want to be president in 2016? We have entirely to many unsolvable problems, it would take a Vladamire Putim to straighten this country out. Barbra being close to the heart of the beast knows this better then most.
