WASHINGTON -- Former President George H.W. Bush said on Sunday he'd like to see his second son, Jeb, become President of the United States some day.
Interviewed on Fox News Sunday, Bush said his second son, a former Governor of Florida, had all the qualifications to serve in the White House.
Jeb Bush, 55, has said he was considering running for a U.S. Senate seat representing Florida in 2010. The current incumbent, Republican Mel Martinez, has announced he is stepping down.
"I'd like to see him run. I'd like to see him be president one day, or senator, whatever, yes I would," said Bush, who served as president from 1989-1993.

I want to be a cowboy,,, or an astronaut! And i also want whatever he’s smoking.
No comment.
Well hells bells, if the Kenyan Messiah can be president so can Jindal.
Her name is Sarah.
Jeb could have been a better president than GW. But, I am against this. The country will not elect another Bush.
There are other real conservative leaders out there - we must nominate one of them.
The perception of Jeb as the Republican candidate would be devastating.
Amen.
Hell No To George P. (Jebs son.) too even if hes young, handsome and Hispanic as you say.
A Bush is a Bush is a Bush. A family of globalist liberals.
Yeah a Bush every ten years to put the world dictators in check.
So outa about 40 comments so far, a good 25-30 solidly against ever having another Bush in the WH.
Guess we know what his legacy is now!
And this is going on on a conservative forum.
Fool me once...
Jeb may well have made a better President than his older brother. The problem is that I don’t think America would stand for a third Bush. Personally, I think America will be better off if both the Bushes and the Clintons stay far away from the White House for anything but a visit.
Sorry Jeb, your older brother blew if for ya—life ain’t always fair.
Agreed. And I would add Rudy and Mitt to the list of candidates who would lead us down the road to nowhere.
ML/NJ
I've had enough of seeing the country get the heck beaten out of it by the Bushes.
Piyush Jindal (pronounced /ˈdʒɪndəl/) was born on June 10, 1971 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Baton Rouge is not in the United States?
His parents weren't citizens at the time, that's true. But they were in the US legally.
Ergo, Jindal is a natural-born American citizen. By any interpretation of the Constitution.
Of course he would say that. Bill Clinton would say he would like to see Chelsea Clinton be president or senator- already has in fact
Unfortunately Bush 41/43 and their cavalier meekness in the face of poltical rudeness and incivility toward them (and toward conservatives in general) has led to “BDS” and probably permanently damaged the “brand” - ie, Bush family name
No more Bushes for me, but the problem is Jeb could win his way to the nomination similar to his fellow RINO McCain. Blue states that will never vote for the Republican nominee can choose our nominee with only a little help from a few Red states, or the least Red states.
If conservatives do not rally around one candidate in 2012 very soon, they might again split the conservative vote and hand the nomination to Jeb or some other RINO.
Vote for another Bush, yet another phoney conservative?
Read my lips, not gonna do it ... wouldn’t be prudent.
Please!
End the madness.
No more political dynasties.
As a one time huge Shrubbery, NO MORE BUSHES, please! After the spending spree and Dubya abandoning conservatism, I have just had enough.
I was one of them.
Rush assured us that W was a conservative. W led the largest expansion of government spending ever.
We need a real conservative who is not afraid to call a community organizer what he is.
