Well.... it looks like it will be Hillary and Jeb in the next election.

Lucky us.

Former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., on Wednesday gave one of the clearest indications to date that he's considering running for president in 2016.

Speaking at a closed-door fundraiser for New York Catholic schools, Bush said he's "digesting" the idea of running for president, according to New York businessman John Catsimatidis, who was in attendance.

Catsimatidis told CBS News that Bush joked, "Somebody call my mother and ask her." Bush was referencing the fact that his mother, former First Lady Barbara Bush, said earlier this year that she hopes he doesn't run for president. Mrs. Bush has since softened her comments and has expressed more openness to the idea.

So I modestly propose a new amendment – the White House Family Leave Amendment – which means that no member of an immediate or extended family of a former President of the United States can run or serve in the position for, let’s say, 100 years. In other words, when a President leaves the White House, he or she and their family LEAVE THE WHITE HOUSE. It would allow for a fresh start, prevent the reopening of old wounds, allow the nation to either heal or bask in glory, and show the world that the U.S. is a nation with a large talent pool.

I just don't see it being Clinton v Bush. They may both enter the primaries, but not actually go anywhere.

Oh goody, a battle of "This is who we have to choose from?" again.

I'll keep my Independant registration and continue voting third party, thanks.

I don't have any beef with Quincy, he was indeed a fine diplomat and statesman. But back then the pool of qualified candidates was small. Further we had 24 years between Adams and Quincy, not 8 for the Bushes or 16 for the Clintons.

I'd have to really make a tough decision on that one personally, I've met Jeb personally, and would have preferred him over Dubya any day IMHO.

That being said, I'm disliking this dynasty crap myself.

I highly doubt Clinton will run. Jeb might be stupid enough to run. Clinton though would be 69 like Reagan was. Now that we know that Reagan was struggling quite a bit with his advanced age I doubt we'd want to put that in the white house again. You can be 35 and president. I see no reason why people would waste money trying to elect a geriatric.

I tend to agree myself, but things happen.

Oh I guess you mean people like Angela Merkel, Margarette Thatcher, or Golda Meir, perhaps ?

I hope both of them run because it might give an independent candidate a real chance if the choice is between dumbass (Jeb) and incompetent dumbass (Clinton).

I don't think Clinton will ever run, but I could be wrong. I don't think she'd risk further digging into her scandals. On the other hand, I do think that Jeb is one of the few candidates that Clinton might actually have a chance at beating. I'd definitely choose Jeb over Clinton if an independent had no chance of winning, however.

Merkel is in her 50's

Thatcher left office when she turned 65

Golda Meir was 127 when she left office. If I'm reading this right she was 73. I don't know much about her though.

Bill Clinton, George Bush, a spectacular looking blonde woman and an enormously large woman with an unfriendly scowl are in a train car. The train passes through a tunnel, and in the darkness the unmistakable sound of a slap is heard. As the train pulls out of the tunnel, the daylight reveals a big red slap mark on Clinton's cheek.

The blonde thinks: "That rascal Clinton wanted to touch me and by mistake, he must have put his hand on the fat lady, who must have slapped his face"

The fat lady thinks: "That dirty old Bill Clinton touched the blonde and she smacked him."

Bill Clinton thinks: "George put his hand on that blonde and by mistake she slapped me."

George Bush thinks: "I hope there's another tunnel soon so I can smack Clinton again."

He he he, good one.

Must a missed that one, about like the Robot Chicken Jedi thing where he dumps Clinton in the water at Taco Bell with Jedi powers.

Maybe it was a Burger King with a Whopper :p

Clinton Goes to Hell

One day in the future, Bill Clinton has a heart attack and dies. He immediately goes to hell, where the devil is waiting for him. "I don't know what to do here," says the devil. "You are on my list, but I have no room for you. You definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got a couple folks here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let you decide who leaves."

Clinton thought that sounded pretty good, so the devil opened the first room. In it was Ted Kennedy and a large pool of water. He kept diving in and surfacing empty handed. Over and over and over. Such was his fate in hell. "No," Bill said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and I don't think I could do that all day long."

So the devil led him to the next room. In it was Newt Gingrich with a sledgehammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time. "No, I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day," commented Bill.

The devil opened a third door. In it, Clinton saw Jesse Jackson lying on the floor with his arms staked over his head, and his legs staked in a spread eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. Clinton took this in in disbelief and finally said, "Yea, I can handle this."

The devil smiled and said "OK, Monica, you're free to go!"
