http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/11/22/lkl.bush.interview/index.html?hpt=T2(CNN) -- Jeb Bush would make a good president, but the former Florida governor has no intention of running for the Oval Office in 2012, according to his father, former President George H.W. Bush.
The elder Bush made the comment in an exclusive interview to be broadcast Monday night on "Larry King Live."
In the hour-long interview, Bush and his wife, Barbara, discussed their lives and their relationship with another son -- former President George W. Bush. While the Bushes spoke with obvious pride of their family and accomplishments, they rejected talk of a Bush political dynasty, even when reminded that they are one of only two father-son presidential families in American history.
Asked if Jeb was thinking about running for president in 2012, his father responded: "I don't think he is. In fact, I know he's not."
"But would he be a good president? Absolutely," Bush continued. "And don't just take that from a father's prejudice view.
I mean,
he's a good man,
he performed as governor,
he's well-spoken,
he's not an extremist,
he's not a wild guy that attributes bad motives to those that disagree with him,
and he's good.
And people that know him and hear him say the same thing. I think the bottom line is, he just doesn't want to try, doesn't want to do it."
