Jeb Bush Says No Run For President In 2012…

…and that is one load of worry off my mind! That’s all that we need, another Bush family member in the White House. I do not think that dear ole Jeb would beat Obama anyway,but, the citizens of the United States are short on memory and  long on stupid when it come to politics. I refer generally to the population living in the state of Florida, who put this man in as their governor two times. He had a hand in making Florida the crappy state that it is today, with help from the Republican controlled “ good ole boys “ state legislature.

   Of course, the Republican thinking (?) is that Jeb Bush could help to garner more of the Hispanic vote, which the GOP badly will need to win the election in 2012.

  St. Petersburg Times

"There's no question Jeb Bush is one of, if not the, most popular Republican in the country, but the fact is he's not running,'' said Ron Kaufman, a veteran Republican strategist who helped Jeb's father win the White House in 1988.

In 2010, Senate candidates like Marco Rubio in Florida and Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania showed Republicans how ardent and uncompromising conservatives can win not only primaries, but also general elections. This year the Republican frontrunner is Romney, with his reputation for flip-flops and a record of enacting health care reform in Massachusetts that looks a lot like "ObamaCare."

National Review editor Rich Lowry wrote a column last week practically begging Bush to run and making a strong case for why he should.

"Obama is slightly below 50 percent in the polls, with a real weakness in the middle of the country, and he's saddled with a recovery that has yet to produce substantial job growth," Lowry wrote. "Yet there is no true frontrunner in the race to challenge him. It's hard to imagine an environment better suited for a heavyweight like Jeb to make a run."

Politico on Friday offered up its own Jeb buzz: "More and more Wall Streeters think (hope?) Jeb Bush will let the other GOP candidates beat each other up then swoop in late as the savior. These people say Bush fatigue will fade once people realize how different Jeb is from W."

Don't bet on it.

   Make my day, Bush. the public may be short on memory, but your dear brothers sad leadership and the sad leader that you were in Florida would be brought back to the voters attention.

    Barack Obama may not be a 10, but it sure as hell beats another 0 in the White House.
