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.

Enough of the Bushes already.
No more RINOS!!!!!
NO!
And why hasn't he ever put on his country's uniform?
Truly, enuff is enuff!
Sounds good to me. The Bushes did what Reagan wouldn’t do...fight terrorism. George W lowered taxes on top of that creating the greatest economic time in American history statistically in the middle years of his administration.
Of course the Dems 2006 congressional victories and the subsequent Dem-led Fannnie/Freddie debacle and refusal-to-drill decisions have killed our economic expansion, but Bush did what he could and if the intellectually lazy conservative Bush-bashers whould have supported him rather than complain every step of the way we could have prevented even these two problems to an extent.
NO More Members of the Bush family for President.That go’s double for the Clintons.
No, no and no.
senate if we have to. President hell no.
Rush assured us that W was a conservative.
Yes he did...and many on FR have conveniently denied how Rush sucked up to the former Gov. of Texas....Rush told all the naysayers to not worry...he’s a rock solid conservative.
shove it Bush Sr......Jeb may be the best of the lot of you but we can’t chance another “compassionate” Republican.
“Funny too, Jeb would have been the best of them.”
Translation:
Jeb would have been the least of the two evils.
In 2016 Jeb will only be 63, and America will be exhausted after eight years of Obama’s bungling. His chances aren’t that bad, whatever his brother’s legacy looks like now. I’d give him better odds than Palin or Jindal of being the 2016 nominee.
ALWAYS VOTE “NO” TO ALL POLITICAL DYNASTIES!
You’re more full o’ sh*t than a Christmas turkey.
That along with the way he has teamed up with Bill Clinton since he left office haven't impressed me.
His recommendations no longer mean anything to me.
Sorry to rain on your parade but cnn says that Sarah has fallen from grace.
Jeb Bush?? No way! I may have voted for both, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, but I don’t want a third Bush presidency!
I agree with you... George the son opened our borders to the Mexicans and they have really taken advantage of our “hospitality”! I don’t want to be in an union with Mexico and Canada!
Ronald Reagan’s greatest political blunder, which we are still paying for today, was his choice of running mate.
