George Bush Says Brother Jeb Best Man For The White House [No More Bushes!]

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.

Let’s put Sheriff Joe Arapio in the White House.

Okay. I'm down with that.

We do not have to even look at Bush. Totally unacceptable.

Better than Obama

Same as Obama. If he were any different he'd have pubically expressed his concern about Obama's entire PResidency.

Don't give me that "respect for the office" BS either. Obama has disrespected The Office and the US Constitution in every way.

GWB has said only positive things about Obama.

Same as Obama

Wishy-washy Jeb B. is awful! The media will have a field day with his wife and make a big deal about his daughter (although I do not blame him for her behavior)

I can see the Liberal Heads and Lame Stream Media Heads exploding now if we did that.

An endorsement from W is worth what? If W wanted to help Jeb out he should just say nothing.

I can’t blame Dubya for saying this - Jeb is his brother, after all. That said, in future presidential elections only genuine conservatives need apply.

"Let’s put Sheriff Joe Arapio in the White House.

I like that idea, but Sheriff Joe is getting (way) up in years.

As for the Bush Family, they’ve done their duty and we’ve moved on. So should they.

So far I am a big fan of Rand Paul and Cruz. I’ve read Mike Lee is good too, but I don’t know much about him. However if Sarah runs (and I do not think she will) I’ll be on her team.

Personnally, I miss President Bush, and I do not agree with those that blame the evil that is President Obama on President G.W. Bush.

I would have gladly taken 8 more years of Bush over the loser Romney...and the man he lost the election to.

If you are referring to her drug use, what about Joan Kennedy, Gerald Ford’s wife, John Kerry’s wife and probably others we don’t know about who depended on the booze and pills? I think they could use that to their advantage. And no I DO NOT want Jeb Bush.

Are you saying that you would rather have Obama than a Bush?

Jeb’s slipier than Owl Sqeeze. As Florida’s Gov. he was a whimpy compromiser with the rats. He speaks fluent spanish, so the GOP-e will push him.
