(CNN) – For only the second time in nearly three decades, there won’t be a Bush on the presidential ballot this November. But that absence may not be a permanent one, the current White House occupants hinted Sunday.
President Bush was asked by a SkyNews correspondent whether the end of his term marked the end of the Bush presidential dynasty that began with his father’s Oval Office tenure 20 years ago.
In response, Bush singled out his brother, who has often been mentioned as a possible Republican presidential contender. "Well, we've got another one out there who did a fabulous job as governor of Florida, and that's Jeb,” he said. “But you know, you better ask him whether or not he's thinking of running. But he'd be a great president."
There had been wide speculation in 2000 that Jeb Bush would enter the Republican primary race that was won by his brother.
During the SkyNews interview, first lady Laura Bush added that public service was an "unbelievable” life.
"One of the reasons George and his brother, Jeb, served in office is because they admired their father [Presient George H.W. Bush] so much," she said.
Asked whether that meant her husband was not “the last Bush," she responded: “Well, who knows. We'll see."

The republic equivalent of OBAMA... Clueless!!!!!
he could'nt keep his nose out of where it did'nt belong in florida and ignored the raping of floridians by the insurance industry..
NO MORE BUSHES , NO MORE CLINTONS
We've already got a third Bush running right now in McCain. No more Bush and no McCain!!!
Figures...I knew he would circle around the wagons and wait in hiding for a THIRD Bush President. They should create new laws to prevent husband/wife or father/son/brother dynasties from dominating the White House or Primary Elections.
This is getting ridiculous...people are sick and tired of the Clintons and Bush's.
No Jeb and his "devious plans." He's just as sleazy as his brother before him.
Hell No..........this is one family who can never take powe again. There are evil devils and they are all warmongers and horrible fiscal managers.
4 more years!!! 4 more years!!!!!
No. No. AND A THOUSAND TIMES NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No more Bushes in the White House!
What is this double standard about? Why am I not hearing anyone mention that Mccain said it was tough to be proud of America only 2 days ago. In a town meeting on saturday, June 14, Mccain said it was tough to be proud of America while responding to a question.
Isn't that Un-American? Why is no body talking about it? CNN, what is this cover-up about? We all know that if those words had come out of Senator Obama's mouth, there would have been no other report today than that.
Shout it loud. John Mccain says 'it is tough to be proud of America'
You are not fit to be the president of a country that yu find tough to be proud of.
Not a in a million years!
please God no
I think I'd move in with that new tribe that discovered in Brazil a few weeks back.
God help us.
OMG, Nooooooo!
please no please no please no
NO, please God. I would rather go through WATER BOARDING!!!
No more Bushes! No more Clintons!
Not just "No" –
"Hell no"
I knew it was coming. With Kennedies and Bushes (Clinton wannabees) USA will soon become a third world country with family fueds and ruling dynasties like India (Gandhi Family), Pakistan (Bhutto Family, Sharif Family), Bangladesh (Mujib Family, Zia Family), Philippine (Marcos Family, Aquino Family) etc.
I hope Obama wins this time and the next time and then a Latino or Jew win in 2016 and put an end to political dynasties.
One Bush was enough, second was not needed, third one should not be talked about.
Jeb is the only idiot that will not make the same mistakes the other two retards have made. He will make a whole new mess of his own. Florida the scammers paradise.
i wish a Jeb Would...then i cud say...America is a dynasty..
Typical alcoholics, keep repeating the same thing expecting different results.
How stupid would this country be to elect another Bush. Have we not learned anything!!!!
NEVER
NEVER
NEVER
NEVER
NEVER
NEVER
NEVER
NEVER
AMERICA IS NOT A DYNASTY.
NEVER WILL WE ELECT ANOTHER BUSH IN OFFICE.
Is this a Halloween prank designed to scare America?
If there is a God in Heaven. Please Please Noooooooooooooooo
