Jeb Bush is back, and some think he's looking presidential - ROLLING MY EYES GAG ALERT.

Posted on 02/01/2010 2:48:30 PM PST by RED SOUTH

The capper came Thursday when, at the top of the 7 o'clock hour, right after Vice President Joe Biden, Bush made a rare network television appearance on NBC's Today Show. The intensely private Bush's interview with the overly familiar Matt Lauer rattled Florida political circles.

Was this the beginning of a Jeb juggernaut that would culminate in a 2012 presidential bid?

As much as people have "bush fatigue" Jeb was a great governor of Florida.

I have always said he is the most conservative of the Bush brothers, and compared to what might run in 2012, he isn't a bad choice except for Gov. Palin.

Let's see Barack Obama or Jeb Bush for President in 2012. Tough choice !!!!

From the article: “``I think that leaders on both sides of the aisle need to figure out where there is common ground and at least focus on that,’’ he said. ``It’s one thing to give a good speech. The other thing is to invite people that don’t agree exactly with your point of view to build consensus.’’

This from the governor who presided over some of Florida’s most hyper-partisan battles of the last decade? Who helped declare his brother the winner of the 2000 presidential recount, threw out affirmative action with the ``One Florida’’ program, made the FCAT the end-all be-all of the public schools and insisted on getting in between brain-damaged Terri Schiavo and her husband?”

What was Jeb Bush’s opinion on the Schiavo subject?

We’ve seen already what two right-wing Leftists have done to our country so far. Why make it a hat trick?

The Bush family presided over 6 Trillion added to the debt.

What a pitiful excuse for leadership. Tell George P. not to bother trying either.

I’ll take Palin; at least she can add and read a ledger.

NO! I would take Scott Brown over any Bush and Jeb was probably the most conservative of the 3. No George P Pedro Bush either. Rubio’s Bush connection bothers me aka see Mel Martinez. Meanwhile Crist is pathetic.

I will never forget the starvation of Terri Schiavo and Jeb Bush’s failure to push his RINO’s in the legislature or use emergency power to save her life.

I have never forgotten the death of Nancy Cruzan over 20 years ago in Missouri.

The Republican Governor who let it happen there was none other than John Ashcroft. The lefties hate Ashcroft and Clarence Thomas regrets being nasty to him years ago, but I think his “pro-life” views were phony when Cruzan was put to death.

Sure looks like another good thread based on rumors, inuendos, and comments posted without even reading the article. Took me a couple of minutes to cut & paste your link (because your link wasn’t clickable), open a new window, and read it.

Why do we care now about someone who isn’t running. I care more about finding someone we can support. But so far, I haven’t read about one single person that folks agree on.

The other thing I do not like is the Bush family’s good friendship with the Clintons. What is that about?

It is time for the political elites to get a real job and sweat it out in the gulag they've created.

Just reporting what I SAW! I could care less if it upset you.
Of course I do not have a link to every Hannity show. So what?

I saw it, I heard it.

By the way, if you read the book “Compromised, Clinton, Bush and the CIA” by Terry Reed you wouldn't be so astonished when confronted with these facts.
