A Quote by Jeb Bush

If you want gridlock in Washington,then I'm probably not your guy because I'm running a campaign to say I can fix these things because I did it as governor. I have 32 years of business experience and eight years as governor.
I had been secretary of state for eight years, attorney general for four years, lieutenant governor for four years, and governor for four years - I had all these friends around the country - so I thought I could gin up a campaign not for me but against George W. Bush, against his war, against his economic policies, and against his education policies.
I can say that hands down from being in this business 32 years; we're going to be much better than we were last year just because there's eight new players that now have experience and Palacios will be healthy.
For generations, people have come to U.S. shores to seek opportunity. It's what my grandfather did a century ago, when he came to Seattle, and worked as a houseboy just one mile from the Washington State governor's mansion that I was privileged to inhabit for eight years.
In my eight years as governor, I did everything I could to resist federal control of issues that belong to the states.
In the eight years before I became governor, there was zero net private sector job growth in New Jersey. Zero. For eight years.
They are voting whether to keep a governor two years or four. I think a good, honest governor should get four years, and the others life.
Governor Romney has been a great success in business. He has been a great success as executive, as governor of Massachusetts. I think that's the kind of guy we want in the White House.
I haven't been in Washington over the last - ever. I'm not part of Washington. I got to serve as governor of a state, a purple state and I was the most successful conservative governor probably, during the time that I was there.
I'm running for governor because I think we need to change things in Illinois.
I don't want marriage. You know why? Because I did that. I did it for 32 years.
I really feel it's time to dissolve the current relationship of governor and lieutenant governor by running as a ticket.
Twenty-eight years in business and you understand the importance of problem solving and the importance of efficiency, because if you don't become efficient, you don't run a business well, and you are out of business. And I think some of those principles could be applied to leadership in Washington.
I'm not going to change who I am. I'm not going to change why I'm running... I'm running for president [in 2016], and I'm running because we can't afford another four years like the last eight years.
Mitch Daniels in Indiana was the best governor in America for eight years. I've gone to Indianapolis to study with him.
Being the governor of New York is a mighty job because of the city of New York. You would not want to be the governor of just upstate.
Many years later, after Niemöller had been imprisoned for eight years in concentration camps as the personal prisoner of Adolf Hitler, he penned these infamous words: First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionist, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew. And then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me.
