Exclusive: Jeb Bush Meets with
Former Aides near White House

National Review, by Robert Costa

Original Article

Posted By:jackson, 11/27/2012 8:06:22 AM

Washington, D.C. — Former Florida governor Jeb Bush met Monday with a group of his former staffers at the J. W. Marriott hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, just steps from the White House. Bush, a potential 2016 presidential contender, spent an hour in the hotel’s Cannon room, reminiscing and entertaining questions about his political future. In an interview with NRO, Bush did not rule out a presidential run. “I am here to catch up with folks and promote education reform,” he said, smiling. When asked again whether he will issue a Sherman-type statement about his future, Bush remained coy. “We

I liked W, but I can tell you the Democrats are giddy over the possibilities of another Bush running. Their campaign talking points are pre-fab on this one. They will just stand their and point at his last name.

Jeb? Nice man. Nice family. Hispanic wife. Great . . . NOT! You think the RNC could find someone younger without the last name Bush to appeal to the now under-30 crowd and their drippy parents who gave them everything they wanted on a credit card.

This is Nov 2012...I have miles and miles of tribulation to endure before the primary season in 2016...my guess is that I would vote for anyone(Rubio/Palin/JBush/Ryan/Rand Paul,etc) in 2016 to get the boot of the Democrat/Communist Party off my neck

Does the GOP never learn? Are they really going to engage in more tail-chasing by entertaining the thought of another Bush? I have given the GOP a lot of money over the years and I have now given up on the Party. Unless they can find another Lee Atwater, I will vote Third Party or not vote at all.

I would listen to his advice on "the Hispanic vote," I´d accept him as Secretary of HHS. But president/ line of succession? Wrong for that position and still bad for him, the Bushes, conservatives and the country if not otherwise wrong. (OK, if it´s him or Chris "heckuva job, Barry" junk science and sharia friendly Christie, it´s Jeb and then shoot myself anyway.)

This arm of the Republican Party has made it abundantly clear that the only use for the conservative viewpoint is to sit down, shut up and vote for whom they say. Sorry, I´m done with this group. Like Mama Bush said of Sarah Palin, "He should go back to Florida and stay there!"

That the MSM always wanted Jeb as president rather than W, should tell you something.

But the GOP establishment, those guys and gals who so graciously invite us to vote Republican every couple of years, but otherwise make it clear we should keep our ignorant peasant noses out of "their" party´s business, have probably already selected him as Candidate and Savior. And most importantly, it´s Jeb´s Turn!

Next step: GOP leadership talks three or four naive, credulous "conservatives" into running in order to split the conservative vote, thereby guaranteeing the nomination to Jeb, with 43% of the party´s backing. (Same as 2008 and 2012.)

#19. As a matter of fact, for those who obviously forgot, it was McCain´s aged mother who inadvertently told the truth. In an interview, she was asked what about the conservatives in the party who were disappointed in her son being the nominee. She said something like what choice do they have. (Sorry I do not have the exact quote.). I remember her elitist snarkiness with regard to the conservatives spoke volumes. You are right. As long as we pretend its not true, we will continue to lose.

Jeb will be pushed on us, just like Romney was pushed on us. The only fight the Republicans are willing to fight, is the one against the conservatives.

PACS, campaign advisers and lower-level staffers all stand to make huge money. And we will lose yet another election.

NRO should be ashamed of itself for this goofy headline. Bush is in DC for the annual policy meeting for his Foundation for Excellence in Education. The meeting date and location was set for this meeting before the end of last year´s meeting! I attend it every year but couldn´t this year due to a last minute illness. His "former" aides are there because many of them are now part of the world of education reform and many of them still work with him in various leadership capacities.

This article was intended to do nothing else than get Republicans and conservatives screaming at each other over the prospect of another Bush. With that said, Jeb Bush is a fine man, was a tremendously good, conservative Governor who actually implemented many of the reforms that he promised. He left Florida in far better shape than he found it, and that was with 4 major hurricanes during his administration.

Finally, I hate, and I mean hate, that conservatives bought into the trash peddled by the MSM about GWB...you can hardly tell a difference b/t conservative sites and liberal sites when you read posts about him. GWB was a rare leader during a dark time in our nation´s history. Lesser men would have crumbled.

Poppy Bush sold us out with "read my lips" and then agreed to increased taxes to "cut the deficit"-- all it did was make the demonrats happy to put us further into debt.

Wow, if we could only go back to THOSE deficits back in the early 90´s!!!!

W started out wanting to be the new Reagan, and ended up spending like a drunken sailor (no offense to sailors).

I think we have had enough Bush family members on the national stage.....

Although I would probably agree with Jeb Bush´s politics, that last name would be a liability, maybe an insurmountable liability, in national politics. If your last name is Kennedy, it´s different, even if you are a badly behaving skunk, or an inarticulate nincompoop.

Jeb Bush dismisses ´chirpers´

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush is tuning out the "chirpers" in the Republican Party -- the critics on his right who disagree with his push for a comprehensive immigration bill. If Bush decides on a 2016 White House bid, the son and brother of two presidents said in an interview this weekend that it will be a campaign based on his two terms as governor. "It will be based on what I believe and it will be based on my record," Bush told the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN).

ROME — For years, perhaps even centuries, it has been an open secret in Rome: That some prelates in the Vatican hierarchy are gay. But the whispers were amplified this week when Pope Francis himself, in a private audience, appears to have acknowledged what he called a “gay lobby” operating inside the Vatican, vying for power and influence. The remarks — which the Vatican spokesman did not deny and the participants at the private audience confirmed — appeared to be part of an effort by the pope to take on the entrenched interests in the Vatican

MEDFORD, Mass. — JUNE 11, 1963, may not be a widely recognized date these days, but it might have been the single most important day in civil rights history. That morning, Gov. George Wallace, in an effort to block the integration of the University of Alabama, made his futile “stand at the schoolhouse door.” That evening, Boston N.A.A.C.P. leaders engaged in their first public confrontation with Louise Day Hicks, the chairwoman of the Boston School Committee, over de facto public school segregation, beginning a decade-long struggle that would boil over into spectacular violence during the early 1970s.

ALBANY, N.Y.— An abortion battle could be brewing in Albany, as Gov. Andrew Cuomo plans to propose a major change to abortion laws in New York State. CBS 2 has learned that Cuomo will introduce a bill on Tuesday that would allow abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy to protect a woman’s health. The bill would fall in line with federal law. Currently, New York State only allows late-term abortions if a woman’s life is at risk. Planned Parenthood outlined a 2009 bill with reportedly similar goals. The 2009 Reproductive Health Act would “guarantee a woman

Violence surged like the mercury Sunday, with three more fatalities from gun violence — and eight others wounded in shootings — bringing the total number of bullet-riddled in the city to 25 in less than 48 hours. Only Staten Island was safe from the wide-ranging spray of gunfire and sickening weekend bloodshed. At least 12 people were blasted in Brooklyn, eight in the Bronx and another four in Queens. The sole person shot in Manhattan took several slugs to the chest and perished in broad daylight. Sunday’s first fatality was Ivan Martinez, 21, who

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (AP) — Boosting education standards and crafting an immigration policy that recognizes the valuable role newcomers play in creating jobs is essential to long-term economic growth, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Wednesday. Speaking to Michigan business and government leaders on this Lake Huron resort island, Bush said the “right to rise” socially and economically is part of the fabric of American citizenship but has become frayed as too few students leave high school ready for college or a career. “We’re not rising to the challenge,” he said. “It is shameful.

CHICAGO — Perhaps it is nothing more than an accident of timing that as federal workers brace for a summer filled with unpaid furlough days, their leaders are traveling the nation and globe on trips that exude luxury. On Wednesday, President Obama left the White House for two Chicago fund-raisers in the hope of helping Democrats retake the House in next year’s elections. The cost of flying aboard Air Force One to his hometown: $180,000 per hour. The same day, Michelle Obama traveled to Massachusetts to lunch with rich donors who had paid up to $37,600 per ticket

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
