Jeb Bush said his mother, former First Lady Barbara Bush, has become his biggest supporter after her now-famous 2013 proclamation on TODAY that the country has "had enough Bushes."

"I marked her down as neutral at that point," Jeb Bush joked to NBC News' Kelly O'Donnell on Thursday. "Since that time she's been my biggest supporter."

Barbara Bush will join her son at a town hall event in Derry, New Hampshire, Thursday evening. It's the first time the two will appear together on the campaign trail.

That “Please clap” will go down in history for decades as the most pathetic moment in an American Presidential campaign

No. That would be John McCain suspending his campaign to fly back to Washington to do.........nothing.

[ColdOne]

I’m kind of feeling sorry for Jebra! Someone talk me out of this pity I feel. Lol.......Terri Schiavo.

[lee martell]

The statement is as subtle and, well as low energy as it’s speaker.

[ColdOne]

the tippytoes is right up there on that pathetic list.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Vote for Yeb! His Mommy likes him.

[lee martell]

I don’t recall Barbara appearing with W. at this stage of the campaign. I could have missed it. What about Mrs. Jeb!, is she really that busy? I find it hard to believe she still doesn’t know enough english just to wave and greet an audience from the safety of a raised stage.

[dfwgator]

Further proof that Jeb is the “Fredo” of the family.

[dainbramaged]

Like the mother in Everybody Loves Raymond? I’m starting to think Jeb is not playing with a full deck.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Barbara looks great! She hasn’t aged a day since her son George H.W. Bush won the Presidency way back in 1988!

[lee martell]

Well somebody needs to give ‘Fredo’ the Bacio dela morte’’aka The Kiss of Death, saying Jeb! betrayed his family by failing as a politician. Not Death- death, just a career adjustment.

[lee martell]

Her son? Ha, ha. You’re not the first to say that.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I’ve loved Barbara Bush since the day she called Geraldine Ferraro a bitch.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

I stole it from an old Saturday Night skit. The skit was interviewing the Bushes during H.W.'s run for President, and the interviewer says to the woman playing Barbara, "Mrs. Bush, you must be so proud of your son!"

Hilarious.

[anton]

Soon, his only supporter.

[nclaurel]

Everyone’s momma should love them and I bet she will even clap for him.

[SkyDancer]

Well that’s one person anyway.

[Starstruck]

Jeb Bush: Barbara Bush Now 'Biggest Supporter',

Well judging by Trumps hands he doesn't need that big a supporter.

[scooby321]

I don't think she is registered in New Hampshire but you never know if she votes anyway

[Lurkinanloomin]

Should have listened to her, Yeb!

We have had enough Bushes

[dfwgator]

The only time I ever agreed with Jesse Jackson, “Stay out da Bushes.”
