Thanks for nothing, Mom

By Richard K. Barry

Barbara Bush was asked on the Thursday morning Today Show if she thought son Jeb should run for president, to which she answered:

He's by far the best qualified man, but no. I really don't.

I think it's a great country. There are a lot of great families, and it's not just four families or whatever. There are other people out there that are very qualified and we've had enough Bushes.

And then this:

There are other families. He'll get all our enemies, half of our friends.

Could it be that Barbara Bush sees a buzzsaw called Hillary Clinton on the horizon and would prefer that her son not get in front of it? 

In her defence, she is the mother and she is entitled to be protective of her children. 

Barbara Bush's comments about Jeb are at about the 2:22 mark. Interesting woman.
