George Bush Says Brother Jeb Best Man For The White House April 21, 2013
Since leaving office in 2009, former President George W. Bush has offered few political insights. But when it comes to his brother, Bush has a firm opinion: Jeb Bush is the best man to be president. “Yeah, he’d be the best candidate,” tells Parade Magazine in an exclusive interview published today. “I told him he ought to run, and he didn’t answer me. No, he’d be great.
“He’s got a proven track record. He was a governor of a big state. He’s very articulate. He could deliver a convention speech in Spanish. In my judgment, he’s right on the issues, [but] whether he runs or not, I have no idea.”
Bush made his remarks about his brother, former Fla. Gov. Jeb Bush, on the proverbial eve of the opening of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, located on the campus of Southern Methodist University, where his wife, Laura Bush once studied.
On April 25, the 43rd president will welcome President Obama, and his three living predecessors — Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Bush's father, George H. W. Bush — to the official dedication ceremony.
He and former First Lady Laura Bush offered their opinions – and thoughts – on a wide range of topics for Parade Magazine, including being grandparents, whether the U.S. is safer since Sept. 11, 2001 and the future of Iraq.

I think the GOP is dying a slow death, the way the Whigs did.
I guess the answer to you belief remains to be seen when a choice must be made. It takes courage to leave the Republican RINO Plantation and stand as s conservative. In the last election, many of us who refused RINOmney were called traitors, Obama supporters, etc.
I’ll believe it when I see it. I certainly hope you are right.
I’ll take a Bush over a Clinton any day of the week.
No. And No again. Uh, no. Absolutely not. I said-a no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not only no but HELL NO!
How about Rand Paul?
“I’ll take a Bush over a Clinton any day of the week.”
A republican plantation slave behind every bush...
I'll take two nickels over a dime any day of the week.
Best response yet!
Thanks.
If Jeb, Chrissie, or any other GOPe hand-picked “electable” squish is nominated for ‘16 (if we make it that far) I will not stay home but concentrate on local and state elections.
However, the details came out on the Romney campaign, and how they had no real desire to win, I believe many on FR concluded that the GOP is done.
Sure. They’ll still vote for the next RINO. Watch.
I think Obama's reelection was the straw that broke the camels back.
How do you tell the difference?
Again, in the primary, everyone talks smack. In the general, they compare their little rino to the evil democrat and hold their nose and vote against the democrat.
Time will tell, but don’t be shocked when it happens.
I think the GOP is going to be surprised when they put another RINO on how little support they are going to get from the grassroots.
