Mom to Jeb: ‘We’ve Had Enough Bushes’ in White House
Barbara Bush is getting ready to hear a sarcastic “Thanks a lot, Mom,” from both of her sons.
The former first lady declared this morning that she doesn’t think Jeb Bush will — or should — run for president in 2016 because “we’ve had enough Bushes.” In doing so, she not only complicated things for her second-born boy, who has signaled that he’s contemplating a bid for the Republican nomination next time, but simultaneously stole some of the warm headlines her first-born was expecting from the dedication of his presidential library.
“He’s by far the best qualified man, but no, I really don’t,” the woman long known as the most outspoken member of her family said when asked on NBC’s “Today” whether she expected the former Florida governor to run. “There are a lot of great families, and it’s not just four families or whatever. There are other people out there that are very qualified and we’ve had enough Bushes.”
She also noted that Jeb Bush would face the same downside of others — she didn’t mention Hillary Rodham Clinton by name — who seek the restoration of controversial political dynasties. “He’ll get half of our friends and all of our enemies,” Barbara Bush said.
Last year’s presidential election was the first since 1976 when nobody named Bush or Clinton was running for national office.
The entire Bush clan is in Dallas for the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Center, a $250 million library and museum that will intensify the debates about the 43rd president’s achievements and shortcomings.

W killed more Americans and foreign citizens than any president before him. He also enabled his rich criminal friends to loot the treasury and send our economy into the toilet. They're no longer welcome in the White House.
