Former President Bush Wants Son Jeb To Continue Family Legacy of Becoming a President

President George H.W. Bush has lost his mind if he really thinks that voters, including myself, would vote for another Bush to grace the White House. This job is pretty much closed to another in the Bush political dynasty. If you ask me, Jeb Bush probably should have been the president and not his brother, who will go down in history as one of the worst presidents to be elected.

Jeb Bush is the current president’s younger brother and a former popular governor of Florida. He is mulling a run for Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla.

Asked in a broadcast interview about Jeb Bush’s consideration of the Senate seat, Bush 41 said: “I’d like to see him run. I’d like to see him be president someday.”

When asked if he was serious, he said: “Or maybe senator. Whatever. Yes, I would. I mean, right now is probably a bad time, because we’ve had enough Bushes in there. But no, I would. And I think he’s as qualified and able as anyone I know on the political scene. Now, you’ve got to discount that. He’s my son.” The former president spoke on “Fox News Sunday” in an interview that was taped Friday in Houston. He will be at the White House on Wednesday for a lunch with President George W. Bush, President-elect Barack Obama and former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.

The senior Bush said he does not plan to offer advice to Obama and mainly wants to wish him well. “I talked to him right after the election and did that then, assured him that he was my president,” Bush said. Source: Atlanta Journal Constitution.

It seems that Bush has not taken into to consideration the economic collapse that happened under his son’s watch. It seems that there is a sense of entitlement in the political arena these days, a dynastic mindset, if you will. Suddenly Caroline Kennedy wants to become a senator, though she spent most of her life ducking the cameras.
