George told CBS' "Face The Nation" that his younger brother is definitely pondering on the situation and has not yet come up with a solid decision.

The older Bush said he hopes Jeb will definitely run because he would be a "great president". He noted that he and Jeb are very close but pressed that "he is not knocking on my door agonizing about the decision".

George pressed that Jeb knows what he is doing as he already saw their father, also a former president, and his brother run the country. He also said Jeb is not afraid to succeed and that he could do the job. 

He also talked about their mother noting that there have been enough Bushes who ran for president and George highlighted his though saying, "Sometimes her prognostications haven't been very accurate."

Meanwhile, reports have talked about the pros and cons if and when Jeb runs for president. According to the latest data, there are about 16 Republicans who are considering to run for President and Jeb is one of them but unlike the others, Jeb has been very outspoken about his doubt in the said candidacy.

According to Monitor politics writer Linda Feldmann, Jeb has a deep political and fundraising connection since he is a Bush. However, the article also pinpointed the problems and the advantages of the former governor.

The first problem is the political dynasty as his father and brother have been presidents of the country but Americans are no longer fond of having every possible member having a position in the government.

On the plus side, Jeb Bush's immigration stance gives him a better chance as he is fluent in Spanish and has married his Mexican-born wife.  Also, his platform includes concern over education, schools and tougher testing standards.
