Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush—one of the top potential GOP contenders for a 2016 presidential run—has been tapped to become chairman of the Board of Trustees at the prestigious National Constitution Center, succeeding former President Bill Clinton.

Bush is the second in his family to serve as the chairman of center’s Board of Trustees—his father former President George H.W. Bush had the post in 2007.

“I am honored to have this opportunity and am humbled to follow in the footsteps of my beloved father … who first exemplified to me what it means to be a good citizen and to uphold the ideals expressed within the U.S. Constitution,” said Bush, 59, who governed the Sunshine State from 1999-2007. …

...chairman of the Board of Trustees at the prestigious National Constitution Center, succeeding former President Bill Clinton

First, how does a president who was impeached and disbarred get to be chairman of anything?
Second, who would want to be associated with an organization that would have Clinton as Chairman?
Third, ...the answer to that question is, "Jeb Bush".

/facepalm

The National Constitution Center is just plain stupid.

Ever been there? You’d think the Constitution is nothing but the Bill of Rights. And not the real Bill of Rights—the Bill of Rights as interpreted by the Supreme Court.

It’s really the National Glorification of the Supreme Court Center.

"jeb's been anointed."

You don't think they got together just to chat, do you?



***Note how relaxed they are. Except that Jeb looks like he's ready to drop down on one knee.

Bill Clinton may have forced her husband out of office - but Barbara Bush still considers him family.

The former First Lady lavished praise on the man who defeated George H.W. Bush in 1992, lovingly saying that Clinton is “a good fellow” who is “very thoughtful about calling.”

“He never said a mean word about anyone,” she said in an interview with Parade Magazine set to appear this weekend.

She even revealed that her sons - including, of course, George W. Bush, who followed Clinton into the Oval Office - call him “My brother by another mother.”

“He’s very nice,” Barbara Bush continued. “I think she thinks of George [Sr.] as the father he never had.”

Yet they can't find anything good to say about Sarah Palin.

“He’s very thoughtful about calling”—ol’ Bill certainly is a wily old pol.
Gennifer Flowers, who stepped in front of cameras during the 1992 presidential campaign and declared she’d had a 12-year affair with Bill Clinton, said this week that the former president wanted to “put on a hoodie” and “jog up” to her house to see her as recently as 2005.

“I was at home by myself and the phone rang and it said unavailable, and I picked up the phone and it was him and he wanted to come by my house and talk to me,” Flowers told New Orleans station WGNO-TV in an interview over red wine.

“become chairman of the Board of Trustees at the prestigious National Constitution Center, succeeding former President Bill Clinton.”

Is this a Soros operation or a ham-fisted operation to rip off money from taxpayers via federal grants?

Yeah, I had to chuckle at that one. I wonder how many barmaids the old sailor has in how many ports to this day.

Already it starts: “one of the top potential GOP contenders for a 2016 presidential run”. There you have it folks, your vote matters nothing. Bush vs. Clinton and Bush wins; Bush vs. 9bambi’s third term - 75% vote for the LIBs.

It doesn't make any difference who runs in 2016. Jeb Bush will be our next president because TPTB have an important job for him.

After 8 years of Obama, the dollar will become so worthless that people will be clamoring for the good old days of a Bush in the WH.

Jeb will tell the desperate American people that the only way to preserve prosperity (Hey, there's a campaign slogan!) will be to adopt a global currency. Of course, that currency will be controlled by the elite and will only be doled out to the rest of us. It will not have much purchasing power, but once it is the only accepted currency, we will have no choice.
