Yes, he really is serious. Former President George H.W. Bush declares that not only is the media being unfair toward his son who currently holds the office, but that another son - Jeb - is qualified to be president.
Ah, yes, Jeb Bush - the governor of Florida when there was that rather nasty issue of balloting in the sunshine state during 2000. Jeb Bush, the man who's been waiting in the wings for far too long. Doesn't he deserve a chance to lead this country?
It all just makes me want to pour some tea in the ocean. OK, let's say that Jeb Bush is this absolutely incredible leader. A top shelf kinda guy that this country just has to have in a position of power.
Even if that's true, and I'm reaching here, haven't we had enough of dynasties? Do we really need to continue this hereditary form of government? I understand that parents who are good actors often have children that act well. It's genetics.
When that happens in government, I call it feudalism. New York is likely going to hand Caroline Kennedy a Senate seat just because of her name. Can we stop the nepotism there and not have it extend to yet another offspring of the first Bush?
Or do you like having dukes and lords instead of presidents?
