WASHINGTON — Amid the celebration surrounding the opening of son George W. Bush's presidential library Thursday, former first lady Barbara Bush brushed aside talk of a Jeb Bush run for the White House in 2016.

Appearing in an interview from Dallas on NBC's "Today" show, Mrs. Bush was asked if she thought that Jeb, the former governor of Florida, should seek the presidency.

"He's by far the best qualified man," Mrs. Bush said, "but no."

"We've had enough Bushes," she said, saying "it's not just four families, or whatever."

In an interview with NBC’s ‘Today” show, Barbara Bush said she believed Jeb, a former Florida governor, was “the best qualified” to seek the Republican presidential nomination, but that he shouldn’t run.

“We’ve had enough Bushes,” Barbara Bush told NBC, adding there are other “people out there” who are qualified. “It’s a great country. There are a lot of great families and it’s not just four families or whatever.”

Palin-hating Babs...

Yup, remember when Sarah Palin was campaigning for conservatives, old Babs said *Palin should stay up in Wasilla*.

Never forgot that.

Barbara ALWAYS was the sensible one of the bunch. The lit-luns didn’t call her “Mommy” for no reason.

I remember her telling everyone to shut up after the election and the voting fraud was so obvious.
