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.

You are a perfect example of what I said: "intellectually lazy".
Tell me where I'm full of it:
Did Reagan fight terrorism? No
Did W lower tax rates? Yes
Was the middle W years the best statistically? Yes
Was Fannie/Freddie a Dem debacle? Yes
Did refusal-to-drill hurt our economic expansion? Yes
How about it Einstein? What's your response?
I hope he runs for senate. He would make a terrific senator. He speaks well, is relatively conservative, and would be a great voice for the people of Florida.
There are so many better conservatives..
Oh wait this is from the boob who refused to sign an executive order allowing engineers fleeing the impending Chinese takeover of Hong Kong to emigrate here. They emigrated primarily to Australia, New Zealand, And Malaysia instead - taking their companies and their patents with them.
HW might have been better than his son, but he sure wasn’t any great shakes in the oval office.
His opinions are only marginally more convincing than Jimmy’s.
I saw. That's more proof that the MSM are terrified of her. A populist real conservative is the left's worst nightmare.
Please God no!! No more stinkin’ Bushes & no more stinkin’ Clintons. Bushes being equated with “conservatism” in any way shape or form since the Reagan years have been a disaster, considering they’ve been anything but. The Bush family has been the worst thing to happen to the Repub party. Enough already.
“And after Jeb it will be time for President Chelsea?”
or..........President Caroline to sequel John and Teddy!
NOT JUST NO.......BUT H*LL NO.
Enough said, and enough from the anti-conservative, doormat, open-borders Bush dynasty.
After all the abuse heaped on him and his son, I would think Bush Sr. would want to get the family the hell out.
But then again, I thought the Kennedys would think the same.
Politics must be incredibly intoxicating is the only answer I can come up with to explain this self-abuse.
I agree.
He might have a good chance, but I sure as hell won’t vote form him.
What do you call attacking Libya? How about apprehending the Achille Lauro hijackers?
Was the middle W years the best statistically? Yes
What does that mean? The best statistically could mean anything. Please elaborate.

Yea I imagine he would. More positions for his long time RINO LIBERAL buddies. More nation to give away. For the sake of this nation may that family never again hold national office again elected or otherwise.
No thanks.
If Jeb had defeated Lawton CHiles back in 1994, he would have been the Bush son to run for President. He is far more conservative than his dad or his older brother, and he is a more polished speaker than his brother. However, I don’t see him running for political office anytime soon except for the U.S. Senate. He would serve well as a Cabinet appointee in a future Republican administration. After what happened in the last 8 years, I don’t think we will see another Bush in the WHite House anytime soon.
I have not trusted Jeb ever since he failed to send troops to prevent the murder of Terry Schiavo.
Governors and Presidents have sent in troops to integrate public schools—but can’t rouse themselves to do the same to prevent murder in abortion clinics and nursing homes.
No thanks.
“But, if it all came down to Jeb or a McCain-like candidate, I wouldn’t mind a Jeb in there.”
I won’t happen.
McCain is not going to live that long.
It’s the women - they think it is romantic.
