Jeb Bush finally responded to his mother Barbara Bush’s comment that “enough” Bush men have occupied the White House. Following a speech at a conference in Michigan yesterday, the former Florida governor was asked what he was thinking about the 2016 race. Though he declined to give a definitive answer on whether or not he would pursue the nomination, Bush sounded undeterred by his mother’s comments. “What can I tell you? All I can say is we all have mothers, right?” he replied. “She is totally liberated, and God bless her.”

Back in April, the former first lady said on NBC’s Today that, while her younger son certainly was the best man for the Republican nomination, “we’ve had enough Bushes.” She explained, “There are a lot of great families” and other candidates on the right who are qualified for the job.
