Jeb Bush Doesn't 'Anticipate' A Run For Prez. (RPOF Friends Say 50/50 Chance He's In)
Ploitico / Hannity ^ | Updated: 7/23/11 1:17 PM EDT | MAGGIE HABERMAN

Jeb Bush, who has made clear he isn't running for president this cycle, raised some eyebrows on Sean Hannity's Fox News show Friday night with this comment about a potential campaign:

"I don’t anticipate that. You never say never. This is a standard answer that I’ve kind of learned how to give which is — you never say never, but I never rule out being on Dancing with the Stars either … there are a lot of ways you can make a difference."

He went on, with respect to whether any of the current field can win, "If you recall, my dad in 1992 had an approval rating that was double what President Obama has right now and he was running against the seven dwarfs I think. … And one of those dwarfs became president … dwarf, you know President Clinton, so the notion that somehow these aren’t folks that are capable of winning I just think is ridiculous. These are good people."

They're also, per Bush, "capable. They’ve made the all-in commitment and this yearning for something else is very flattering for someone if you’re that someone else. But in reality I think this race, we have qualified candidates and as it gets closer to the primaries to the caucuses and primaries, I think people will begin to see the mettle of the men and women that are running."

I’d rather vote for Obamas daughter than another Bush

George Bush’s greatest failing was not to expose 0bama for what he is. W had the intelligence on 0bama and did nothing to stop an avowed enemy of the United States from becoming president. Bush broke his oath in that instance.

It’s all about implementing the New World Order.

None of the Bush boys are genetically conservative.

Hmm. Jeb Bush? Gads! He makes Rick Perry look good! LOL!

Jeb Bush is one of the biggest pu$$ys on then planet. Gutless. Wimpy. Illegal loving metrosexual piece of spewed vomit.

I can see one possible scenario for Jeb..

The primaries are indecisive..nobody breaks out...thus a brokered convention in his home state of Florida..

problem with that is if the race is undecided..it's more likely you have a draft Christie movement, maybe with Daniels for VP..or switch it around..

The BIG takeaway from all the stories about why EVERYONE, and his mother) wants to be the GOP nominee.. ( hi, Buddy Roemer)..is that Obama is very beatable...and I suspect the WH internal polls show it..

He is a NO drill,Open Border,Amnesty Bilingual ,RINO, who will get NO votes from the Conservatives,His Name is Poison!

He's also a "green" republican who was solely responsible for the forced confiscation of over 65,000 acres of private property in my area. A lot of people I know and loved got royally handed a huge plate of s*** by Jebby.

The pretense was "to preserve blah blah blah for future generations... blah blah blah." The real reason was political payola to various entities who found favor Jeb.

Jeb Bush is a phoney-con, 1st class prick who will do more damage than his father and brother put together. To anyone considering this jerk... don't say you weren't warned.

Another thing about him is that he HATES the Tea Party. Watch his interviews closely, he can barely conceal his extreme displeasure.

I caught part of the show with Hannity. I couldn’t even understand why Sean would give this Bush air-time. Down with the one-world, police-state government that Sr. and later Jr. promoted and moved forward. No more Bushes.

No, it will occur on August 13th, my birthday, & what a present it will be. Change your tagline accordingly.

Jeb Bush’s complicity in the murder of Terri Schiavo is all we need to know. I’ll never forgive him.

If Jeb jumps in, I’m jumping out. I will stay home and let you carry the water.

There is no way the country is going to get bush-wacked a third time.

As governor Bush imposed a windfall profits tax on oil companies drilling on state lands and appointed a Planned Parenthood director to the State Supreme Court...he is no conservative.

And just how much did he add to the debt. Hell clintoon did not spend as much money. And don’t get me started on his mismanagement of housing and pushing tarp and amnesty.

If Jeb Bush gets the nomination, I'll write in Terri Schindler.
