KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (AP) — Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is getting a house of his own at the family compound on the coast of Maine where generations of Bushes have spent summers.

The likely Republican presidential contender and his family will stay in the cottage on Walker's Point in Kennebunkport during summer visits, the family said. Bush and his wife also have a home in Coral Gables, Florida.

There are several properties at Walker's Point, including the home of former President George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara.

The former president said the additional space was needed to make room for the entire family, especially with the arrival of a new generation of great-grandchildren.

3. I d been to busy compound and Kennedy compound

Kennedy compound is so much better and has nothing to do with politics but just natural beauty.

4. From the article:

'The Boston Globe first reported on the four-bedroom, 3,000-square-foot home, which is being built by a limited partnership like the other homes on the Walker's Point property. Under the arrangement, Bush won't own the home, which is situated on 1.3 acres.'

What does that mean? Is the whole place owned by a family corporation so they can avoid paying any taxes on it? Or is it something else entirely? I get the feeling that there has to be some angle to this that benefits them.

12. Awwww... isn't that nice! His very own luxury suites in the family's Kensington Palace!

Just like the "American 'Royal' Family" the bushes secretly fancy themselves as being. I think they want to establish a political dynasty that's more important than the Kennedys'. I think that's what really drives them. That THEY should be the "royal family" of America. Another World's Biggest Entitlement Program - on display.
