George W. Bush's Daughter: Hillary Should Run

Hillary Clinton has received some encouragement for a 2016 Presidential run from an unexpected source: President George W. Bush’s daughter Barbara, Politico reports.

In an upcoming interview with People magazine, the 31-year old Bush called Clinton “unbelievably accomplished” and said she wants to see the former secretary of state declare her candidacy.

Although she’s in favor of Clinton mounting a campaign, Bush did not go so far as to say she would cast a vote for her.

“I don’t know who she’d be running against,” said Bush, who is politically unaffiliated but has thrown her support behind gay marriage.

Bush’s thoughts on a potential presidential run by Clinton were a sidebar in an interview done mostly to promote her work as the CEO of the nonprofit Global Health Corps., through which she has struck up partnerships with the Clinton Health Access Initiative and Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign.

“We want results,” Bush said.

“We work with people doing great work.”

Two subjects Bush stayed away from: a possible run for the White House by her uncle, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and her dad’s recent heart surgery.

Exactly!! Who cares? She’s running, and knowing what this young person thinks of it is immaterial. The media is practically coronating Hillary already!

Hillary could’t run if a pack of wolves was chewing on her ample arse.

At best she could work up to a rapid waddle.

But we’re supposed to think Barbie’s Uncle Jeb is the saving grace for republicans in 2016.

...How is Hillary incredibly accomplished?...

Well, I think the exact quote is “unbelievably accomplished,” which translated from the original Bush to standard English is “I don’t believe she has accomplished anything.” Those Bush’s certainly have the gift of gab.

It was an idiotic question to ask Barbara Bush (Jr.). What do you expect her to say? Just saying she (Hilary) should run is not an endorsement. I thought Freepers were more astute than this.

I would expect her to be polite but also remember that 4 Americans lost their lives because of Hillary in Benghazi and she continues to lie about it. That is just the short list of her “accomplishments”.

The Bush family seems to have stars in their eyes when it comes to the Clintons. There are ways to be polite without insulting the intelligence of the rest of us. Example:

“Of course she should run if she so desires. The more the merrier!” or “Sure she should run if she wants to. The more choices Americans have the better.”

There it is.It’s like going to the funeral of a family member that was a drunk and beat his wife. You are not going to stand up and announce that he was a jerk but are you going to tell everyone what a great husband he was over coffee and donuts later?
