TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says he isn't ruling out a possible presidential run in 2016.

At the inauguration Tuesday of new Gov. Rick Scott, Bush repeated his stance that he's positively not running for president in 2012.

I like Jeb, but you are right, he ain’t got the street mojo for wiping the liberal low life off the face of the political earth!!! Too bad only three “great” POTUS dudes, Washington, Lincoln & Reagan!!!

Jeb was an excellent governor. So was George. Jeb is also a Bush. So is George. We don’t need another one as president. He cannot beat Romney in the primaries because the Democrats truly hate and fear the Bushes, especially one with a HISPANIC wife. The Democrats will try to ensure that Romney is the Republican nominee by voting heavily in the Republican primaries. They know we can’t beat the kenyan with a kenyan lite and the Republican right will stay home rather than vote for Romney in the final. If Jeb runs he might, however, split the RINO/Democrat primary vote and give it to Sarah.

I have some apprehensions about a Senator Jeb. He would be a vote for any new financial profligacy that comes up. If he were to start talking like von Mises or Henry Hazlitt, I could support him IF he became the nominee.

Not only that but Jeb was a total open-borders amnestyite here in FL - who never met an illegal alien he didn’t like and wish to make a citizen; even though real citizens were paying ever-higher taxes for bankrupt public school districts, prison incarcerations, social welfare services, insolvent hospitals and the ravages of the drug cartel. Good riddance to him!

A lot of people don't like dynasties. I have friends who supported Obama over Clinton, because they didn't want to see a Clinton dynasty. They were already pissed over what they saw as a Bush dynasty. Jeb should just give up on this one.

Here's an idea Jeb. Why not just get a real job? Lots of people do, you know.

Jeb Bush is very pretty but he should stay in Florida, Texas, Kennebunkport or wherever the Bush clan plots future political runs.

Can anyone from Florida provide one example of something meaningful Jeb Bush accomplished as governor.

Last I knew Florida schools were among the worst in the country. Last I knew Florida’s DYFS was among the most dysfunctinal in the country. Last I knew Florida had one of the biggest drug problems in the country. Last I knew Florida had one of the worst crime records in the country.

So what will this guy—whose been invisible as far as Onadacare, stimulus, cap and trade and abortion are concerned—tout as his accomplishment?

Oh, and this is the same guy who had no clue the dems were targeting his state in the first Bush II election.

Jeb Bush was very good on financial things as Governor of Florida. Crist has been awful, but Jeb really kept the bureacracy back and also managed to fight off the teachers’ union and improve FL public education dramatically. He was very pro-business and pro-privatization.

The biggest problem I see with him is simply his last name - and the fact that his wife really doesn’t want to be a high-profile political wife.

Yes he was and George sounded good and was very good as governor of Texas but he turned into his father when he got his promotion. It is a genetic syndrome, I believe. I don’t want it at the top again. I think Bushes are incapable of grasping the realities of economics. When George said he was a “conservative keynesian” I knew it was all over and we had got the wrong guy.
