Jeb Bush: I'm Still Not a Candidate for 2012

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says he's flattered to be considered a potential 2012 Republican presidential candidate, but he's keeping his distance from such speculation.

“It’s very flattering that people would consider me worthy of that pursuit,” he said during a speech on Marco Island, Fla., according to Naplesnews.com. But, he insisted, “I don’t want to raise speculation."

Bush also said he thought energy, education and immigration reform should be the federal government's top priorities.
