If His Last Name Was Smith He'd Be the #1 GOP Candidate for 2012

But, sadly, his last name is Bush and I don't think America is going to elect another member of that family:

“It’s kind of like a kid coming to school saying, ‘The dog ate my homework,’ ” Mr. Bush, this state’s former governor, said over lunch last week at the Biltmore Hotel. “It’s childish. This is what children do until they mature. They don’t accept responsibility.”

In fact, instead of constantly bashing the 43rd president, Mr. Bush offered, perhaps Mr. Obama could learn something from him, especially when it comes to ignoring the Washington chatter. “This would break his heart, to get advice that applies some of the lessons of leadership my brother learned, because he apparently likes to act like he’s still campaigning, and he likes to blame George’s administration for everything,” Mr. Bush said, dangling a ketchup-soaked French fry. “But he really seems like he’s getting caught up in what people are writing about him.”

“I mean, good God, man, read a book!” Mr. Bush said with a laugh. “Go watch ESPN!”

I like Jeb. I think he did a great job in Florida and would be a natural as president - quite possibly even better than his brother. However, he'll never get the chance. His dad and brother used up all the enthusiasm there might have been for a President Bush, so Jeb will have to either consider running for a Senate or House seat, or just consulting with other Republicans and taking an elder statesman role.
