Reuters. Jeb Bush is not thinking about presidential bid

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush appeared on five morning talk shows on Sunday to plug his new book on immigration, but said his heightened visibility does not mean he is re-entering politics or planning a White House run - not yet, anyway.
The talk-show marathon capped a busy week of public appearances for Bush, one of several Republicans seen as potential contenders for the 2016 presidential nomination. Bush said it is too early to seriously ponder a bid for the White House.

Bush's book tour has sparked a torrent of speculation about his political future, but he has shrugged off questions about his plans without definitively ruling out a presidential bid.

"I'm not viewing this as a political re-entry," he told ABC's This Week of the media tour for his book. On NBC's Meet the Press, he described the media as "crack addicts" obsessed with speculation about the campaign.

Bush is one of a handful of potential Republican contenders in the public eye in recent months.

Bush has come under fire for appearing to backtrack on his support for a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. A passage in his book proposes a path to legal residency for undocumented immigrants but tough conditions for citizenship.

While Bush's father and brother were both presidents, he said he did not believe he would carry any "Bush baggage" into a possible presidential bid. He said his brother George's unpopular 2001-2009 tenure in the White House will eventually be viewed more favorably.

"I love my brother. I'm proud of his accomplishments. I love my dad, I'm proud to be a Bush and if I run for president it is not because of something in my DNA that compels me to do it," he said on Fox News Sunday.
