I may be biased, but I believe it's time for a liberal president to "shake things up". The quagmire in Iraq?
The rising oil prices, and the lost attempt at fossil fuels?
Or the violation of constitutional rights, namely:
Freedom from unneccessary search or seizure(When the Supreme Court ruled that police can enter the house without a warrent, or the NSA cookie scandal, or the phone scandel?)
Freedom of information: The SEC ruled that defense related companies can not report "insider trading" to them.
Or how about violations of human rights such as the Guantanamo Military Commissions,which thank god, were declared null and void, or extraordinary rendition?
I doubt that Jeb Bush could tackle all this, especially with his family connections.
In the first Bush election, Jeb Bush (verified by BBC reporter with copies of docs) did not allow the 57,000 voters on his voter scrub lists to be verified. The company that comes up with the scrub lists says that nearly 75% of the people on it are not actually guilty of a crime and the list MUST be checked for verification. In fact, average shows that only 10% of those lists are usually valid criminals to be excluded from voter lists. But between him and the Secretary of State (former Bush campaign manager) made sure it didn't get verified and a memo proves its. I'm not saying anything about the election or about their action, no one really knows for sure. But thats enough that I don't trust him and would never vote for him.
Jeb Bush Supporters: He's Considering 2016 Presidential Bid
New reports today indicates supporters of pro-life former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush say he is reportedly considering a run for the Republican nomination for president in 2016.
Following a second term for pro-abortion President Barack Obama, both political parties will have open nominations for their nominee.

Former President George W. Bush hopes his brother Jeb runs for president.
"I think he would be a great president," The former President said of the former Florida governor in an exclusive interview with CNN's Jake Tapper.
"I have no clue what's on his mind and we will talk when he's ready. I noticed he's moving around the country quite a bit," George W. Bush said. Ref. CNN
Jeb Bush 'actively' exploring 2016 presidential bid
Former Florida governor Jeb Bush announced Tuesday in a Facebook post that he has "Decided to actively explore the possibility of running for President of the United States." Bush is the son of the 41st president, George H.W. Bush, and brother of the 43rd president, George W. Bush. Ref. USAToday
He shouldn't run even if its relatives were successful in the elections it does not mean he will be. Also the legacy isn't that great. The Republicans need a fresh face and name in my little opinion.
