Bush For President… again?
It may not be a completely unfeasible slogan in 2012, according to some political speculators saying Jeb Bush, George W. Bush’s brother and former Governor of Florida, is making a comeback into the public eye in preparation for a presidential bid.
SeveralAmerican newspapers are hypothesizing his potential run for the presidency after quite a few news-worthy appearances, which, since he left the governor’s office four years ago, had been rare until recently.
In addition to showing up to support fellow republicans at fundraisers and other events, the move that got people really talking was his appearance on NBC’s Today Show following Vice President Joe Biden last Thursday.
He spoke of bi-partisan politics, giving a speech about democrats and republicans working together, which stuck out as one of the most presidential characteristics he displayed on the show.
“`I think that leaders on both sides of the aisle need to figure out where there is common ground and at least focus on that,'' he said. ``It's one thing to give a good speech. The other thing is to invite people that don't agree exactly with your point of view to build consensus.''
But it seems like Obama is doing just that.
Jeb and older former President Bush, George Bush Sr., reportedly made a mysterious stop to the White House for a meeting with President Obama on Wednesday.
A White House spokesman told the New York Times that the meeting had no agenda, but was instead simply a cordial visit from Bush Sr. while he was in Washington DC.
Despite the recent hype about a possible third Bush candidacy, many say America ever voting for another Bush family member is utterly out of question.
His brother said goodbye the White House on treacherous grounds with U.S. citizens, leaving behind an ever-lasting war and one of the greatest economic crises in American history. And no one can forget about that fateful night in 2000, when Jeb helped his brother controversially (to put it lightly) win Florida in 2000.
