Bush brother says he's 'not running for president.'
D.C. flacks like to complain that sometimes a juicy Washington narrative can take on a life of its own based on nothing but rumors. It was certainly the case last week when, seemingly out of nowhere, Jeb Bush was widely floated as a candidate in the race for the 2012 GOP nomination.
ABC News picked up on the fact that Bush’s personal Web site, Jeb.org, was empty, which could mean only that he was preparing to fill it with a presidential platform. Other strategists suggested that with the former Florida governor’s low profile, moderate stances, and fluent Spanish, he could be a competitive candidate against Obama in two years.
Except for one tiny problem: he says he's not interested.
It’s possible he enjoyed the attention and speculation for a week, but earlier today, when asked by a local news anchor in Louisville, Ky., Bush laid it out flat: “I’m not running for president.”

Ha! The former Govenor of Florida doesn't want to be President?? Here's why --- the State of Florida is one of the most corrupt, back room dealing, bribe taking (and giving), "the fix is in" states in the nation. You think his hands are clean??? You are dreaming....it would take about a month of investigating reporters swarming around that state to find someone who names names and could document criminal conduct and derail THAT presidential run....he will NEVER run for President. NEVER. Bet your life on it.
