Third Bush jumps into 2016 White House race

Washington, June 16: Jeb Bush, a son and brother of former presidents, joined a crowded field of Republican contenders setting the stage for a possible dynastic clash with a former first lady, Hillary Clinton in 2016 White House race. Watched by his 90-year-old mother, Barbara Bush, wife of George H W Bush, who lost the 1992 presidential race to Bill Clinton, Bush made the announcement Monday in his adopted hometown of Miami, Florida, a state he governed for eight years. Formally throwing his hat into the ring after a six month exploratory run, Bush saying that "America deserves better," declared: "We will take Washington - the static capital of this dynamic country - out of the business of causing problems." "The question for me is what am I going to do about it," said Bush who has cultivated the image of a sober conservative. "And I've decided: I'm a candidate for president of the United States of America." At one point, he was interrupted by protestors wearing yellow shirts with letters that read, "Legal Status Is Not Enough," calling for immigration reform. Departing from his prepared remarks, Bush took a dig at President Barack Obama saying as president, he would pass "meaningful immigration reform" rather than solving the problem via an executive order. His Mexican-born wife Columba Garnica, his children and grandchildren accompanied him at the rally.
