The New York Times this week published a story based on an interview with the former Florida governor. The main point of the story was that his brother, George W., subscribes to the code that former presidents don’t criticize their successors, so Jeb is the one rebutting the Obama administration’s blame for the economy, the deficit, the oil spill and other national calamities.
But the story also speculates on the prospects for Jeb running for president, as soon as 2012, as “someone who can reposition the party nationally and make its more strident ideology palatable to the wider American electorate.” It notes that Jeb opposed drilling off Florida’s shores, and supported immigration reform.

President Jim Belushi.
NO MORE BUSHES! I wish they would disappear like the Cabot-Lodges.
Jeb is welcome to run.
I can’t see him getting past New Hampshire though.
No.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I never want to hear the words, “Bush” and “president” in the same sentence. Or paragraph. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Three times... just OMG.
Which is why he shouldn't be allowed within 1000 miles of the WH.
Immigration reform = amnesty
No way no more Bush.
Here is the hard cold ugly truth. The guy with the best organization and is most likely to be the front runner is Mitt Romney.
This is a reporter reporting what another reporter reported?
Cut me a break.
No.
No, no, please, no. Please run along and have a terrific, private life, Mr. Bush.
Romney sucks. He won’t be the nominee. He passed a government health care program in Mass very similar to Obamacare.
Exactly the wrong candidate for the Republicans.
No. Time for the elite-families to do stay out of politics. it’s taken forever to dilute the Kennedys, now we have to deal with the Cuomo’s etc.
New blood that sees the Constitution for the great document it is: a check on federal powers.
The only time Je$$e was ever right.
agreed
I hope they run this past a Frank Luntz panel, the Rs would join the Ds in twisting the knobs clear off!
Of course he is the wrong candidate for the Republicans. So was McCain and he got the nomination.
Absolutely not under any circumstance. Go away.
I think Jeb is the best of all the Bushes. Having said that, I don’t want another one. Give America some new blood.
Even though W was targeted by the leftists from that 12/2000 day the SCOTUS declared the election over, he undid himself on many fronts as well. Therefore I don’t care to ever see another President elect from the family of GHWB. That sentiment would apply as well to that Clinton family!
Pass.
Jeb Bush ????????? HELL NO that Open Border Spanish loving American hating Cretin, Please go away!
No more family dynasties!
No it is well past time the nation moves away from this presidential dynasty. There were and are too many Kennedys, we don’t need Jeb. He might have been a good gov of Fl but we need new conservative blood..
I’ll consider Michelle Bachman for a start.
God forbid.
President Jeb Bush?
HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO -NO - NO - NO - NO - !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
President Jeb Bush?
No, thanks. Voted four times for Bush presidencies. I’m done now.
Just because he’s a Bush has no merit whatsoever.
No because he is an amnesty lover and not a big fighter.
I think Jeb did an excellant job as my Govenor.
I also think he believes in his brothers compassionate conservativism B.S. (it didn’t work).
Jeb also is in favor of amnesty.
As a conservative I will not support Jeb.
There isn’t one candidate in the top 100 who is genuinely interested in returning America to a Constitutional Republic, so what difference does it make? They are all going to subordinate the interests (and finances) of US citizens to globalist imperatives, so Jeb Bush would make as good a figurehead as any of them. Better than most, perhaps, since the Islamists at least still retain some fear of the family.
If that is true, then Obama will get another 4 years to continue his destruction of out country.
Hard to swallow but true. Unfortunately.
Here is another cold hard truth that is even harder to swallow. The Democrats and RINO's have done such a number on this country there will never be another Reagan Conservative in the WH, sorry to say. Most don't want to hear this so don't get YPIAW, just do the math. Hopefully I'm wrong.
I used to like Jeb a lot. There was a time when I would gladly have supported him for president. I’ve changed my view.
He has yet to rouse himself to take on the Obamists. He is another Romney, wanting to sit on the sidelines above the fray and then show up for the coronation. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way.
Leaders lead and fighters fight. If you are a leader, you are already leading. If you are a fighter, you are already fighting. If you want to know who should be our next president, look at the people already in the fight, and already taking a lead. Its a pretty short list, but thats your list. And Bush isn’t on it.
Then there is that whole open-borders thing.
I do not dislike Jeb Bush just because of his last name, not one bit. However, amnesty and open boarders are a deal breaker for me.
there is only one republican leader that has taken the dems to the woodshed since the last election... and the dems know it. they are trying to push any other candidate to dilute her impact and hopefully derail her
she has done more to stop the dems using twitter than the entire republican party in congress.
Sarah Palin - 2012 (2011 if we can get a recall ...)
NO!

NO!
I was unaware of any affinity he has for the people of Spain.
Did you maybe mean something else?
VP Liz Cheney

He is an Open border Jackazz and half way through his speeches when he was Governor he would stop and finish it in Spanish. That whole family has worked to bring this place down.
I'll have to check a map, but I don't think we share a border with Spain. Did you mean Mexican?
Just because someone speaks Spanish does not MAKE them Spanish.
Did you know?
Mexicans are from Mexico. Spaniards are from Spain.
Half a planet separates them. Big difference.

Dude speaking the language of inferiority and Failure places them ALL in the same bucket and Open Border Jeb is not a American by any stretch of the Imagination.
I didn’t mention Jeb.
I was speaking of your ignorance.
Spain is not on this continent.

Sir in regards to your vast ignorance like Grand canyon VAST; the Latinos all consider themselves Spanish.
And Jeb Bush is a scumbag.
