George W. Bush Appearance a Hint He'll Hit Trail for Jeb?

Former President George W. Bush is on the speakers list for the Republican Jewish Coalition meeting in April, fueling speculation he'll be heading back onto the campaign trail for brother Jeb Bush in his likely GOP presidential bid, the Washington Examiner reports.

The newspaper said Bush's spot among keynote speakers was announced in an email to supporters Thursday.

The former president — who's been mostly reluctant to voice his opinions on political matters since leaving the White House — has lately vigorously vouched for his younger brother's qualifications as presidential material.

"I hope Jeb runs," Bush said in an interview last year. "I think he would be a great president."

Jeb Bush told the Detroit Economic Club on Wednesday his famous last name is "an interesting challenge for me," the Washington Examiner reports. "If I have any self awareness, this might be the place where it would have to be applied."

Yet, he said, "it doesn't bother me a bit to be proud of them. I love them," Bush added, the newspaper reports. "But I know for a fact if I'm going to be successful ... then I'm going to have to do it on my own."

House Speaker John Boehner and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, who may also be thinking about a run for the White House in 2016, are also scheduled to speak at the Republican Jewish Coalition meeting April 24-26 in Las Vegas, the Washington Examiner reports.

The meeting will be held at the Venetian Hotel, owned by wealthy donor Sheldon Adelson, the Washington Examiner notes.

Do you say that because Dubya is not popular and may actually hurt Jeb's chances by stumping for him?

I say it for two reasons.

1) Jesus Christ could come down and stump for Jeb and he'd still lose.  The Bush name is tantamount to leprosy in a presidential election.  At least right now.

2) GWB has been quieter than a church mouse for going on SEVEN years.  No....excuse me.  For FIFTEEN YEARS!!  I'm speaking in terms of speaking out on the abuses in Iraq and the Middle East.  Genocide is going on and he's still not speaking out of "...respect for the Office."  Our Middle Class and social structure is being torn apart.  Our economy is being purposed ravaged with repressive regulations.

Does anybody think ex-president Barack Obama is going to follow suit and zip his lip?

Pride comes before a fall, my friend.  So I'll give my prediction too.  IMO Jeb is likely to win the GOP nomination.  Bush garners 17% in early primary state N.H. right now. http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/231962-poll-bush-leads-new-hampshire-field .  I estimate he has a slightly less than 50/50 chance of winning the GOP nomination  That is not what I'd like to see.  I'd love to see a President Perry, President Rubio, President Walker, or President Kasich, and I'll predict that whoever the GOP nominates will be the next President.   

but I think it is likely Bush will win.

Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush, and Dubya all respected the Office.  This is about family, something we all can relate to.

God help us if Jeb is the nominee. He will lose against the Democrats.  President Clinton or Warren anyone?
