The Bush Dynasty: It Ain�t Over Yet?
By The Editorial Board
It would seem that after the last eight years � and opinion polls showing President Bush�s approval rating in the high 20�s � the nation may have had enough of the whole Bush family.
But at least one person doesn�t think so: former president George H.W. Bush.
In an interview that aired on Fox on Sunday, he encouraged his son Jeb to run for the Senate from Florida, and added: �I�d like to see him be president some day.�
The former president is not entirely oblivious to the damage that has been done to the Bush brand in the last eight years. �Right now,� he noted, �is probably a bad time.�

This has got to be the understatement of the century? |

I'd like to see a robot that transformed into a photosynthetic "trapazoidal" shape and into then into a helicopter be president.
Given what GHWB has done to his family name, I can't imagine how any associated with him could be elected. |

Didn't he leave us with a whopper of a recession as well? |

Jeb is 55 now. He's going to have to hurry. If Obama is at all competent, he will be hard to unseat in 4 years--it can be done (just ask his dad) but it is difficult. 55 + 8 = 63. That isn't too old, but it's around there people begin to take age into consideration.
At least as important: Can he out-campaign Sarah Palin? |

That wasn't H.W.'s fault. No, what H.W. got busted for was raising taxes, i.e., trying to balance the budget. |
