http://www.politico.com/story/2013/03/jeb-bush-sees-bright-family-legacy-88659.html?hp=r1 Jeb Bush sees no family 'baggage' Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, speaking on a bevy of news programs Sunday morning, declined to address his own future but said he didnât think any run for the presidency would be dragged down by âBush baggage.â As part of a tour on behalf of his new book âImmigration Wars,â the Republican notable was seen and heard on the five big morning shows (âFace the Nation,â âState of the Union,â Fox News Sunday,â âMeet the Pressâ and âThis Weekâ), as well as Univision. Though the prime topic of the book is immigration, the discussion Sunday kept circling back to electoral politics, particularly his own ambitions. Bush declined to discuss any decisions he might have made about the 2016 presidential election â it was too soon, he told Candy Crowley on CNNâs âState of the Unionâ and others on subsequent programs â but did say he thought his family name would not be a hindrance for him. âI donât think thereâs any Bush baggage at all,â Bush said on âFox News Sundayâ when confronted with a poll that showed almost a full majority of Americans have an unfavorable impression of former President George W. Bush. He told host Chris Wallace: âI love my brother, Iâm proud of his accomplishments. I love my dad. I am proud to be a Bush.â The topic came up on NBCâs âMeet the Pressâ as well. âI think history will be kind to George W. Bush,â he said on that program.
Jeb is in serious denial Sorry jeb but your brother screwed you out of any chance of being President As far as history being kind to W http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20009531-503544.html Scholars Rank Obama the 15th Best President A group of presidential scholars has ranked President Obama as the 15th best U.S. president of all time, a new survey shows, while his predecessor, President George W. Bush, is relegated to the bottom five. Mr. Obama also has an advantage in the rankings over President Ronald Reagan, who came in 18th, but President Bill Clinton beats them both in 13th place. The Siena College Research Institute's Survey of U.S. Presidents, which has been conducted five times since 1982, asked 238 presidential scholars to rank the 43 U.S. presidents on a number of characteristics. The presidents were given rankings for six personal attributes (background, imagination, integrity, intelligence, luck and willingness to take risks), five forms of ability (compromising, executive, leadership, communication and overall), and eight areas of accomplishment (economic, other domestic affairs, working with Congress, party leadership, Supreme Court appointments, executive branch appointments, avoiding mistakes and foreign policy). President Franklin D. Roosevelt was ranked the best president ever, followed by Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. While he has only been in office a year and a half, Mr. Obama was rated highly in areas such as imagination, communication and intelligence. By comparison, Mr. Bush was ranked 23rd when the survey was conducted in 2002, after his first year in office. This year, Mr. Bush was ranked 39th after receiving poor ratings in communication, foreign policy, intelligence, the economy and his ability to compromise. Mr. Bush's best ranking came in the category of "luck," for which he was rated the 18th best president. The four presidents who were ranked more poorly than Mr. Bush were Andrew Johnson, James Buchanan, Warren G. Harding, and Franklin Pierce. © 2010 CBS Interactive Inc. All Rights Reserved.
