A couple of years ago, Barbara Bush was asked what she thought about talking that younger son Jeb Bush might run for president one day.

As is her style, the wife and mother of two former presidents was direct: "We've had enough Bushes." If he ever did run, Mrs. Bush said, “He’ll get all our enemies and half our friends.” 

She also said: “He’s by far the best-qualified man, but no. I really don’t. I think it’s a great country, there are a lot of great families, and it’s not just four families or whatever. There are other people out there that are very qualified, and we’ve had enough Bushes.”

Like all of us, especially politicians, Mrs. Bush changes her mind and she now has done so with regard to his running in 2016.

At a dinner for hundreds of her younger son’s supporters in Florida Friday night she spoke a lot about Jeb’s running. When her son recalled her earlier admonition about his running, she interrupted, at once.

"Jeb, it’s Mom. Listen, what do you mean, ‘too many Bushes’?... I changed my mind!” she said loudly. “Hey mom, can I get that in writing?” said the former governor of Florida, who was standing on stage at the event.
