Second President Bush floats prospect of a third

Posted: 03:06 PM ET

(CNN) – For only the second time in nearly three decades, there won’t be a Bush on the presidential ballot this November. But that absence may not be a permanent one, the current White House occupants hinted Sunday.

President Bush was asked by a SkyNews correspondent whether the end of his term marked the end of the Bush presidential dynasty that began with his father’s Oval Office tenure 20 years ago.

In response, Bush singled out his brother, who has often been mentioned as a possible Republican presidential contender. "Well, we've got another one out there who did a fabulous job as governor of Florida, and that's Jeb,” he said. “But you know, you better ask him whether or not he's thinking of running. But he'd be a great president."

There had been wide speculation in 2000 that Jeb Bush would enter the Republican primary race that was won by his brother.

During the SkyNews interview, first lady Laura Bush added that public service was an "unbelievable” life.

3. If they ever run Jeb
there would be a built in argument against the fool.

EVERY TIME there is a Bush rpesidency, the economy goes in the shitter.

13. Oh, how I wish, I could retrieve posts I made
about a year ago....Does anyone think they won't have the audacity to put Jeb forward in some manner???This is NOT the first time that * has stated it's Jeb's turn....Remember...like our "presumptive nominee"....McCain is their "presumptive nominee"...and I don't think he's near as healthy as our candidate...???....it ain't over, until it's over...and methinks there are lots of surprises possible yet...on BOTH or either side of the aisle....wb
