Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush (R-FL) is the odds-on favorite to be the GOP Nominee for President of the United States. (source: George H.W. Bush, Barbara Bush, George W. Bush, Laura Bush, and various other family members.)
Jeb doesn't seem a fitting name for an American President, so I have decided to change his first name to "Me Too!". It will give him stature. It will give him a proper standing in his lineage regarding the Bush Dynasty. The Texas Clan of Bush must survive and prosper...and rule.
And, a proper dynasty needs a proper sequence.
We have weathered the George H.W. Bush presidency (one term only), the George W. Bush (two terms, unfortunately; one elected by the Conservative Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, and one by the mistakes of the confused, frightened and war-weary voters.)
Unlike getting hand-me-downs as a child, Me Too! is hoping for voters that will see him as new and different. Perhaps no one will remember his brother's Iraq Prevarication and the Greatly Premature Mission Accomplished snafu. Yeah, maybe they won't remember.
It's hard to live down the skeletons in the family closet when the media and the other presidential candidates keep opening the closet door. He surely knew all of that was going to come tumbling out as soon as he threw his Stetson into the ring. (Maybe these candidates are on to something. Maybe they really do think we are as dumb as we show ourselves to be.)
Me Too! has an uphill challenge and a downhill approach to the Oval Office. He should have entered the race with a more forceful and honest answer to the Iraq War conundrum that is on everyone's mind. However, when first asked, he said he would have done the same as brother Dubya. Five days later, he reversed and said the war was a mistake. A few days later, Me Too! shook the old fortune teller's ball again and came up with a new recipe for an answer.
Me Too! is a confused and conflicted Bush clansman.
Maybe it's time to call the dynasty a day and move on.
