Barbara Bush on Son Jeb in 2016: â€˜Weâ€™ve Had Enough Bushesâ€™
By SARAH WHEATON

After having a husband and a son in the White House, Barbara Bush said she did not miss â€œone darn thingâ€ about life there. And she does not want another reason to go back, even if it means depriving the country of the â€œbest-qualified man.â€

Past presidents and their wives should keep a low profile far away from the limelight. Looks like many of these these ex presidents and politicans just have show off their ego maniacs side.

I would go so far as to propose a constitutional amendment against them. If your mother/father/sister/brother/uncle/aunt/spouse was in national office (i.e. Representative, Senator, or POTUS), then you are disqualified.

Until we get back to the mindset that elected office is service to the people and not rulership over the people, it might be the only way.

Before we go to that length, might want to consider term limits first.

But yeah -- I've always seen Barbara Bush as a more-recent version of Bess Truman. Bess did not pull punches and did not play games. She was up-front with her revulsion toward the Cesspool known as D.C. to the point that she packed her bags and went back to Independence, MO during her husband's presidency.

Babs didn't quite go that far, but she basically wore the pants in the family.

The old Yankee hag should STFU. Telling Palin to go back to AK and out of politics was low class on her part. I do not have any use for her.
